Fourth best -selling model in Italy in the first three months of 2025, or First of the sports utilitiesadmitting in the category every possible variant of high wheels. The recipe from Urban SUV of Jeep Avenger has objectively worked, with a debut in the spring of 2023 entrusted to the 156 HP electric variantand then get to the heart of the true market with the 1.2 turbo petrol 101 HP and its version 1.2 Mild Hybrid 110 HP. Starting from the latter comes the step forward perhaps more faithful to the Charm of the Jeep brandthat is the new edition 145 HP Avenger 4xe which adds the all -wheel driveeven if electric and intelligent, or without a mechanical connection between the front and rear wheels. Numbers and steering wheel in hand, this Avenger continues to convince more than Fiat 600 and Alfa Romeo Junior, with whom he shares almost all the mechanics and the birth factory of Tychy, Poland. The Design in clean lines It is the most successful of the recent Stellantis models, with the only exception perhaps of Fiat Grande Panda.

The design

–

A question of details, such as the duck engraved in the plastic of the lower right portion of the front shield, 40 cm from the ground, or the maximum water depth that can face the car, or the greater inclination of the shape of the front and rear bumpers, which allow an angle of attack of 22 ° and output at 35 °. Allow you to face and exceed more steep obstacles Compared to the other versions of Avenger, also thanks to a height from the ground of 210 mm. Looking elsewhere it is more difficult to recognize a 4xe version from the models of the rest of the range, and it is a desired choice that does not affect the proportions of the model. In 408 cm in length For 177 width there is the Avenger we already know. The seven crack grid remains the trademark, but is protruding compared to the front projectors to defend them in case of impact, as it happens for the wide edge of the square mudguards, which welcome wheels with rims up to 17 ”. The hood is very horizontal, with the finishing of the sheets that is always pleasantly tinked to avoid turbulence. In the queue, the third rear upright seems suspended, accompanies the design of the tailgate and there is a signature of the lights reminiscent of the X already seen on Renegade, but now with a graphics inspired by the digital world.

The interiors

–

Few retouching for all -wheel drive Avengers in interiorwith seats in waterproof materials more resistant and 4xe logo on the dashboard, where digital instrumentation remains with 10 “25 screen Accompanied by a second display still 10 “25 for the multimedia system, with wireless connection to the smartphones Android Auto and Apple Carplay. The space is not lacking, with availability of 34 liters of capacity to store objects and the intelligent solution such as the compartment in the central tunnel which is protected by a folding magnetic coverage, identical to that used for the tablet screen.

The powertrain

–

The starting point of most recent Stellantis solutions is the 1.199 cc turbo petrol engine, which in this case reaches its maximum of its available potential. At stake there is not only the overall maximum power of 145 hpbut above all the way in which the Hybrid 4 -wheel drive solution It is made. Combined with the 1.2 three -cylinder in 136 HP version there is in fact a first 21 kW electric motor inserted in EDCT Six Marce automatic transmission dual clutch and a second of identical power dedicated to the rear wheels and positioned in correspondence with these. The Selec-Terrain system has different driving methodsstarting from the most classic Snow and Sand & Mud for the snow or the most unstable funds up to that sport, which transfers more torque to the rear wheels in acceleration to obtain an acceleration. In everyday guide, on the other hand, the auto function counts, which provides all -wheel drive only when necessary. However, the system allows you to have all -wheel drive regardless of the 0.9 kWh capacity battery charge level, because the front electric motor can also be used as a generator while driving.

How is it going

–

All the difference between what is possible and what is useful. Jeep It is a solid brand in off -road vehicle, it does not need to arrive with Avenger to an image that has already built and defended elsewhere, with different models. Here is played the match of move on the dirt road free time, to earn road holding on asphalthowever, looking at the fact from the perspective of an urban SUV. They don’t ask him raids in the desert, but more versatility In a major sensation of control. Avenger 4xe does exactly what he owes. The rear suspensions, which on the other variants have a “citizen” scheme with twisting bar, here they go to a much more sophisticated Multilink solution Comba practically inevitable by the installation of the rear electric motor, but also really very useful in reducing the body’s roll and conquering a well -contact contact between tires and asphalt, always parallel to the latter. It is not the solution of the “hard and pure” off -road vehicles, but in case of higher category car, which contributes not a little to the driving precision Even when the pace increases, bringing as a consequence also a greater directionality of the steering.

How it goes/2

The 4xe is above all one Avenger more in controlwhich weighs 1,475 kg against the 1,280 kg of the version 2 -wheel drive Hybrid with identical change and 110 hp of power. Here are 145, moreover with a logic of triggering of the all -wheel drive precisely precisely of usefulness. At low speeds and in any case up to 30 km/h The traction on all four wheels is permanent, with a distribution of the 50:50 torque. Among the 30 km/hei 90 km/h and rear wheels are called into question only when needed, while Over 90 km/hthe rear electric motor deepens to save fuel. It is no coincidence that i consumption For 5.4 liters of petrol per 100 km There are not much from the 4.9 liters declared for the 110 HP variant with two -wheel drive. In fact and on the road, the 4xe all -wheel drive helps to recover adherence to exit the corner faster, having fun. Then, there is more free hand on the dirt road and non -specialist off -road paths, with the declared ability to face slopes up to 40% On difficult soils and maintain up to 20% traction even when the front axle has little or no adherence. Certainly there is the instant driving torque of the two electric engines to pull out of the hindrance, with one vivacity that likes Because Avenger remains agile and predictable, even with the pleasant tendency of the tail to expand on the gravel. Always maintaining the general sense of what is useful, a small car that transmits great control.

Strengths and weaknesses

–

These are the findings of our test:

• Pleases:
• The look it likes in other versions is not upset at all, but the ground height increases, the bumpers allow you to face more steep obstacles and the bottom of the car has metal protections;
• The multilink rear suspensions add driving pleasure on asphalt;
• Hybrid motorization and all -wheel drive bring more lively agility and reactions;
• NOT LIKE:
• The plastic coatings of the goalkeeper and some portions of the dashboard aim for robustness, but are all too rigid;
• The addition of a second rear electric motor involves a sensitive reduction in the trunk, which goes from 380 liters of capacity of the other 325 -liter versions;
