Jeep Avenger generated R$ 670 million in reservations in the first ten days of commercialization in Brazil

Jeep achieved over 5,000 orders for its compact SUV, Avenger, during the first ten days of sales in Brazil, representing an average of 500 daily reservations. This performance, when combined with sales of the rest of the lineup, provided the brand with its best daily sales pace in five years, according to Stellantis, although none of these units have been officially registered as of the end of August.

Sales began on August 20. Fernando Varela, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations at Stellantis Brazil, stated that receiving over 5,000 orders, along with the results from the rest of the portfolio, resulted in the strongest ten days for Jeep in recent years.

It is important to note the difference between an order and registration: an order constitutes the formal manifestation of purchase intent at the dealership, while registration is the official recording of the vehicle in the Renavam, a process that only occurs after delivery.

The first registrations of the Avenger are scheduled for September, when the model will begin appearing in Fenabrave's monthly reports. The manufacturer indicated that demand was distributed across all trims but did not detail the breakdown of orders by price, configuration, or region. If sales were uniform across versions, the reservation amount would be R$ 669,950,000, approaching R$ 670 million.

In August, Jeep totaled 9,027 registrations, volumes derived exclusively from the Compass, Renegade, and Commander models. The mid-sized SUV, Compass, recorded 4,546 units and maintains the lead among mid-sized SUVs projected for 2026, with a total of 36,435 accumulated sales for the year. The Renegade accounted for 3,039 registrations, boosted by mild hybrid versions, and the Commander counted 1,091, remaining among seven-seater SUVs.

However, despite this peak, the brand continues to lose ground in the market. With approximately 75,000 vehicles sold in 2026 and a 4.24% market share in August, Jeep finished the month in eighth place among manufacturers, trailing competitors such as GWM and Honda, according to Fenabrave data. This scenario reinforces Stellantis' strategy of betting on an entry-level model like the Avenger.

The first deliveries of the Avenger to consumers are scheduled for the current month. In parallel, Jeep is preparing the 'Jeep Go' commercial campaign, which will offer special conditions for the Renegade, Compass, and Commander models, the details of which have not yet been disclosed.

Produced in Porto Real (RJ), the Avenger is the smallest Jeep model available in the country, featuring a length of 4.08 meters and a wheelbase of 2.56 meters. All its trims use the 1.0 turbo flex engine, which generates 116 hp and 20.4 kgfm, coupled with a 12V mild hybrid system and a seven-speed simulated CVT transmission. Prices range from R$ 114,990, a promotional value for the first thousand units of the Altitude version, up to R$ 145,990 for the Limited version.

Nissan reduces prices of the Kait 2027 by up to R$ 10 thousand and simplifies version lineup

Nissan has implemented a reduction in the list prices of the Kait 2027, decreasing by up to R$ 10 thousand, and has also adjusted its model range, reducing it from six to only four available versions.

Produced at the Resende unit in Rio de Janeiro, the compact SUV will be sold in Active, Sense, Advance, and Exclusive configurations, with prices ranging between R$ 117,990 and R$ 149,990. The automaker clarified that this change represents a repositioning of the price list, not a promotional discount.

According to the new pricing, the entry-level Active version maintains its price at R$ 117,990. The Sense version received a reduction of R$ 7 thousand, dropping from R$ 136,990 to R$ 129,990. The largest cut was applied to the Advance, which received a reduction of R$ 10 thousand, going from R$ 146,990 to R$ 136,990, reaching the same previous level as the Sense. Finally, the Exclusive version saw a decrease of R$ 3 thousand, moving from R$ 152,990 to R$ 149,990.

This change in the line structure involved consolidating models, removing the Sense Plus, which cost R$ 139,590, and the Advance Plus, valued at R$ 149,890 from the catalog. These two versions were eliminated because their price ranges are now occupied by the new Advance and Exclusive configurations. It is worth noting that these two options had been added to the offering in March, when Nissan expanded the line to six choices.

The Kait is the second vehicle for the brand to undergo adjustments within a one-month period. Previously, on August 5th, Nissan announced a reduction of up to R$ 10 thousand in the 2027 line of the Kicks, celebrating the model's ten years in the Brazilian market.

The context of this price movement is linked to the nature of the Kait, which is a substantial restyling of the first generation of the Kicks, but which continues to be manufactured on the old V platform, after the Kicks migrated to turbo technology. The engine under the hood remains a 1.6 naturally aspirated flex, generating 113 hp and 15.2 kgfm on ethanol (or 110 hp and 14.9 kgfm on gasoline), always combined with a CVT transmission and front-wheel drive. This approach is considered conservative in a category where the turbo engine has already established itself as the standard, competing with models such as the Volkswagen T-Cross, Hyundai Creta, and Chevrolet Tracker.

In terms of dimensions, the SUV has a length of 4.30 meters, a wheelbase of 2.62 meters, and offers a trunk capacity of 432 liters, focusing on interior space as its main differential. The front design features a split optical unit and full-LED headlights, with the model emblem positioned centrally on the tailgate.

Specifications vary by version: the Sense comes equipped with 17-inch wheels, keyless entry, rearview camera, and six airbags. Starting from the Advance, consumers have access to a 9-inch Pioneer multimedia system with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in addition to a 7-inch digital dashboard and wireless charging. The Exclusive version integrates the Safety Shield package, which includes a 360-degree camera, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.
