The new Jeep Avenger 4xe is set to redefine expectations in the B-SUV segment offering an exclusive design, top-tier performance, and embodying Jeep’s rich legacy of all-wheel drive.
The new Jeep Avenger 4xe stands out with a design that includes an exterior that has been reinforced to ensure complete protection in all driving scenarios. Prices will be announced later this year when the car arrives into Ireland.
Key enhancements include new front anti scratch bumpers, specific fog lights design, roof rails for additional cargo options and all-season Mud & Snow tyres. Other updates are the enhanced underbody protection, further improving off-road capability, and the rear tow hook. Inside, the Avenger 4xe claims to prioritise comfort and practicality with seat material that is durable, waterproof and protected by an easy-to-clean anti-stain and anti-mud solution.
The Avenger 4xe’s capabilities are further enhanced by its improved off-road angles, an additional 10 mm of ground clearance, and a water fording of up to 400 mm. The Avenger 4xe boasts optimised off-road angles, including a 22° approach, 21° breakover, and 35° departure angles, coupled with a ground clearance of 210mm.
A key component of the Avenger 4xe’s power is the 22.7:1 reducer on the rear axle, delivering rear-wheel torque of 1,900 Nm. The vehicle claims to handle slopes up to 40% on difficult terrain like gravel and maintain up to 20% traction when the front axle has little or no grip.
Equipped with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system, at low speeds (between -30 and +30 km/h), permanent traction on all four wheels is maintained with a 50:50 torque split. At medium speeds (30 to 90 km/h), the rear axle drive engages only when required, while at high speeds (above 90 km/h), the rear e-motor disengages from the axle to optimise fuel consumption.
The Selec-Terrain system allows drivers to switch between modes tailored for specific driving conditions: Auto, providing all-wheel drive only when necessary, balancing performance and allowing the electric drive up to 1km in EV under 30km/h; Snow, enhancing traction and stability, and ensuring safety during winter travel; Sand & Mud, for uneven terrains, featuring specific gear map and traction control to maintain grip; Sport, unleashing the full potential of the 4xe system, including an E-boost function for rear-wheel torque to achieve a quicker acceleration.
The Avenger 4xe also includes Jeep’s exclusive Multilink rear suspension system, a feature usually found on larger vehicles. This innovative system significantly claims to enhance rear axle articulation, to give a smoother rides on rough roads and providing comfort across challenging terrain.
The Avenger 4xe blends hybrid efficiency with AWD technology. With a 48V hybrid system, featuring a robust 1.2-litre turbo engine generating 136hp, augmented by dual 21Kw electric motors positioned both at the front and rear. This delivers a combined power of 145hp.
This configuration provides all-wheel drive and is coupled with a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, allowing the vehicle to drive in full electric mode at low speeds. This setup ensures top-tier performance, with the Avenger 4xe achieving a maximum power output of 145 hp with acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds.
