Evaluation of Jeep Avenger Electric, Hybrid, and 4xe Models: Verdict Revealed
The Jeep Avenger has made a splash in the automotive world, with its first test drives showcasing promising performances across its electric, hybrid, and 4xe powertrains.
The Avenger Electric, yet to be fully tested, is expected to perform well due to its all-wheel-drive capabilities. During its initial test drive through the hilly hinterland around Málaga, Spain, it demonstrated an average consumption of 15.4 kWh, corresponding to around 350 km range with its always 54 kWh capacity battery. The Electric model also boasts a range of 400 km (WLTP cycle) and showed 400 km of range on its first test drive.
The Avenger e-Hybrid, on the other hand, activates E-mode at speeds below 30 km/h and can travel up to one kilometer in electric mode. It recovers as soon as the driver lifts their foot off the gas pedal, achieving a high electric share, especially in city traffic. The e-Hybrid is equipped with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine developed by Peugeot and Citroën, delivering 100 PS (74 kW), and an electric machine that assists it, located in the housing of the six-speed dual-clutch transmission and delivers 21 kW (29 PS).
The Avenger 4xe, an all-wheel-drive version of the Jeep Avenger, introduced in 2025, is another standout. It features a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a 6-speed, Dual Clutch transmission. The 4xe allows the Avenger to follow its larger SUV siblings off-road.
The Avenger's compact dimensions, shorter than the Renegade by about 20 cm, make it one of the shortest Jeeps ever produced, similar to the great-grandfather Willys. Despite its size, the Avenger impresses in the city, with its electric powertrain being adequately powerful and the interior being a pleasant place to be, at least in the front row.
The Jeep Avenger is based on the latest version of the CMP family (Common Modular Platform), which includes popular European models like the Peugeot 208, Opel Corsa, and Mokka. The Avenger is available at a base price of 38,500 €, with the 4xe starting at 33,990 €. Leasing options are also available, starting from around €133 to €279 per month without down payment, depending on the model variant and lease terms.
The Avenger Electric is equipped with a motor with a permanently excited synchronous machine, a drive of front wheel, system power of 115 kW/156 PS, max torque of 260 Nm, voltage/battery capacity of 400 V/54 kWh (gross), exterior dimensions (L/B/H) of 4008/1776 (1981)*/1530 mm, weight of 1520/495 kg, trunk volume of 355-1252 l, and a base price of 38,500 €.
The Avenger features numerous references to the Willys, including the cooling air intake, wheels, a star gazer in the window frame, and a ladybug on the roof.
The first test drives with all three powertrains of the Jeep Avenger have been promising, with the vehicle particularly impressing in the city. The e-Hybrid is the choice for those not yet convinced by electric mobility, while the Avenger 4xe's powertrain is adequately powerful, and its off-road capability has been improved by a few crucial percentage points. However, the prices are as bold as the distinctive design.
