Order books for the all-new Jeep Avenger 4xe will open later this year, the latest addition to the Avenger family as a 48 volt hybrid mated to a 1,2-litre turbo engine with electric motors both front and rear.
Eric Laforge – head of Jeep Brand in Europe has commented: “Avenger is one of the biggest success stories of Jeep in Europe with more than 90 000 orders from final customers of which almost 30% full electric. In the wake of this success, Avenger 4xe will be the new benchmark in the ‘B- SUV’ segment, offering exclusive design, top performance, and representing the full expression of Jeep legacy on all-wheel drive.”
Maybe not an Avenger but check out the Jeep models we have on offer.
Maximum power output of 108 kW, a top speed of 194 km/h speed and an acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 9,5 seconds is the claim from Jeep. The 4xe powertrain has 26 kW and 25 Nm more than the e-Hybrid FWD version.
Enhancements to the newcomer include improved off-road angles, a 10 mm increase in ground clearance, and the ability to ford up to 400 mm of water. Additionally, all-wheel-drive capability is readily available.
Paired with an automatic 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and, combined with the 22.7:1 reducer placed on the rear axle, ensures an extraordinary rear wheel torque of 1 900 Nm, for traction. This capability allows for conquering slopes of near to 40% on challenging terrains such as gravel and up to 20% when there is no grip on the front axle.

The Jeep Avenger 4xe is equipped with a smart all-wheel-drive system, ensuring that 4x4 capability is always available when required. At low speeds (between -30 km/h and +30 km/h), traction on all four wheels is permanent, with a 50:50 split.
During medium speeds (30 km/h to 90 km/h), the rear axle drive activates only upon demand. When all-wheel-drive is engaged, torque distribution is based on actual demand, with a potential split of up to 50:50. At high speeds (above 90 km/h), forward drive becomes permanent, and the rear e-motor disengages from the axle to minimise fuel consumption.
Standard feature include the rear tow-hook, roof bars to enhance load capacity for carrying equipment such as kayaks and rafting gear and seats made from a twice-as-durable material that is completely waterproof.

Front and rear bumpers are made in mold-in-color material with anti-scratch finishing and at the front, the new bumper exposes the wheel, offering safety and solidity in rocky terrain and features a higher and more prominent cladding protecting the number plate from impact.
The cabin has new seats crafted from completely washable and durable materials, while M+S tyres provide reliable traction in various weather conditions, with optional All Terrain 3PMSF tyres available for enhanced grip on challenging terrain.
