Jeep has unveiled a new version of the Avenger SUV in the global market. It is called Avenger 4xe and it combines the petrol internal combustion engine with a pair of electric motors for an all-wheel drive system.

Jeep has announced that they will start taking orders of the Avenger 4xe by Q4 2024 and it will be available in two trims - Overland and Upland. As of now, Jeep has no plans to bring the Avenger to the Indian market.

Jeep Avenger 4xe pairs a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with a pair of electric motors and a gearbox. The engine produces 135 bhp while the electric motors are capable of producing 28 bhp each. The engine powers the front wheels using a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox whereas the rear wheels are powered by the electric motors that are capable of churning out a torque output of 1,900 Nm. The 4xe powertrain sets a new benchmark in the Avenger hybrid line-up, offering the highest power and torque output, with 36 hp and 25 Nm more than the e-Hybrid FWD version.

Jeep is also offering a 48 Volt hybrid system to enhance the capability and fuel efficiency of the SUV. Being an off-road vehicle, there is also Jeep's Selec-Terrain with Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud modes. There is also a Sport mode on offer. The Avenger 4xe offers a 22-degree approach, 21-degree breakover and 35-degree departure angles. This has been made possible due to the new multilink rear suspension that has been developed by Jeep.
