The heart of this version of the Jeep Avenger is its system all-wheel drive hybrid, which combines a 136 HP combustion engine with two electric motors of 21 kW each, capable of moving both axles and generating a torque of 1,900 Nm available to the rear wheels (overall we are talking about 36 HP and 25 Nm more compared to the e-Hybrid FWD version). The performance they are therefore not an optional: the maximum speed is 194 km/h, while the 0-100 km/h acceleration is covered in 9.5 seconds.

All-wheel drive hybrid
On this 4xe variant of Avenger, all-wheel drive is paired with 48V Hybrid technology, to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a new configuration with Multilink rear suspension developed by Jeep itself. Performance on the road therefore, but also in off-road: in this sense, the improvements in the approach, breakover and departure angles deserve mention, as do the 10 mm increase in ground clearance and the fordability of up to 400 mm. And thanks to the Selec-Terrain function, the driver can choose the most suitable traction mode for each situation.
