Jeep’s newly introduced hybrid SUV Avenger 4xe has revealed its price in the European market and has started full-scale sales.
With a hybrid powertrain, smart all-wheel drive system, and the latest convenience and safety equipment as standard features, the Avenger 4xe is a symbolic model that shows the changes in the Jeep brand.
This model is a hybrid SUV that combines the advantages of electric vehicles and internal combustion engines and is sold in Europe for approximately 32,475 EUR (about 37,484 USD).
Avenger 4xe: Combination of Electric Vehicles and Gasoline
The Avenger 4xe is a hybrid model of Jeep’s next-generation compact SUV, the Avenger.
It is based on a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder gasoline turbo engine and a 48V mild hybrid system, with two electric motors each generating 29 horsepower, and the total system output is 145 horsepower. It is combined with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission to enable smooth and agile driving.
Smart AWD, No Problem Even on Off-road
Jeep’s unique off-road DNA is also intact. The Avenger 4xe is equipped with a smart all-wheel drive system that increases efficiency with front-wheel drive during normal driving and automatically sends power to the rear wheels when necessary. This system is designed to climb up to a 40% slope, has a minimum ground clearance of up to 210 mm (8.3 inches), and has the ability to pass through 400 mm (15.7 inches) of water.
In addition, the intelligent AWD that automatically controls the front and rear drive distribution and the Selec-Terrain system that adjusts to various road conditions are added, showing that stable driving is possible not only in city driving but also on unpaved roads, snowy roads, and mud roads.
Customer-preferred Specifications Inside and Out
In terms of the exterior, it maintains the Jeep’s signature toughness while adding sophisticated details. It is equipped with exclusive roof rails, green accents, rear tow hooks, and lower protection plates, and the interior features stain-resistant seats, a 4xe-exclusive logo, and a black headliner, providing both practicality and style.
It also includes plenty of convenient features for passengers. It is equipped with the latest ADAS features such as a 10-inch digital instrument panel, a 10.1-inch touch display, a two-zone automatic air conditioning system, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, and lane departure warning as standard, meticulously taking care of stability.
In addition, it includes remote vehicle management through the Jeep app and a navigation function based on chat-type artificial intelligence ChatGPT, making it a smart SUV that can provide real-time traffic and weather information as well as outdoor activity recommendations.
Is Jeep’s Change Real?
With the hybrid SUV market growing rapidly, the Avenger 4xe is emerging as a very attractive option for consumers who want both electrification and off-road driving, while also targeting a niche market with its competitive price.
Some say that it is expensive for a hybrid, but considering the smart AWD, electric motor, and off-road performance, many say that it is made like a Jeep.
Currently, the Jeep Avenger consists of various lineups, including electric vehicles, e-hybrid, and 4xe, and among them, the 4xe is attracting attention as the most reasonably priced Jeep four-wheel drive model. Currently, only the electric vehicle model is released in Korea, but the possibility of the 4xe model being released in Korea in 2025 is increasing, raising consumer expectations.
In the midst of the electrification trend, attention is focused on whether Jeep can go beyond its traditional off-road-centered image and embrace new consumer groups.
