Travels at a fast pace, in every sense, the Jeep Avenger. Voted World Car of the Year 2023, the B-segment SUV has won general favor. And now a new reason leads us to celebrate: i 100,000 orders archived since its launch. They had us right along the upper floors of the House as we boarded the electrified high-wheeled vehicle. The zero-emissions pioneer of the Stars and Stripes brand was a risky bet at the beginning.
Today it is an example to imitate, even if no too radical choices were made, with the arrival of the petrol version in Italy and Spain. But the family is much richer and includes hybrid solutions, in line with the passing of fashions and eras. Climate change represents a current issue and equipping yourself ad hoc means receiving general favors.
Saying goodbye to traditional engines would, however, have entailed the risk of losing a significant portion of drivers. At the basis of the triumph, a slogan: “Freedom of Choice”, the freedom to choose granted to buyers. Through a full range of options, it satisfies every need and preference. Three engines, two transmissions and, soon, the possibility of choosing all-wheel drive with the upcoming 4xe variant.
Fight against climate change
Active in the fight against climate change, the company also expresses its ecological spirit in the Avenger e-Hybrid, a hybrid interpretation of the compact SUV. Similar to a full-hybrid vehicle, the driving experience is smooth and efficient, aided by an innovative 48-volt powertrain. Under the bonnet is a 100 HP petrol engine, which, assisted by a 21 kW electric module, allows you to release a combined power of 121 HP. Not even the autonomy – up to 50 km in the city – disappoints, compared to its direct competitors, offered by the 0.9 kWh lithium ion battery. Which, placed under the driver’s seat, eliminates overall dimensions.
4xe in the home stretch
Plans for the future? The cauldron is bubbling with news: the 4xe will arrive by the end of 2024, a model representing a leap in quality in terms of technology and design. The “beating heart” combines the advantages of an efficient hybrid with advanced all-wheel drive, in the name of performance and unparalleled pleasure behind the wheel. In terms of performance, it develops a maximum power of 240 HP, which allows it to reach a peak speed of 200 km/h. Wherever it goes, regardless of the roughness of the road, it cuts a good figure, thanks to all-wheel drive and the SelecTerrain technology.
“As we celebrate the remarkable success of the Jeep Avenger, we emphasize that it’s not just about numbers or accolades – it’s about a relentless commitment to giving customers the freedom of choice to meet any mobility need and deliver a seamless driving experience. even – commented Eric Laforge, Head of Jeep Brand in Enlarged Europe -.
