Jeep has unveiled the Avenger 4xe, a compact SUV that combines urban practicality with true off-road capabilities. Powered by a 48V hybrid system featuring a 1.2-liter turbo engine and dual 21kW electric motors, the Avenger delivers a total of 145 hp with all-wheel drive.
A 6-speed dual-clutch transmission enables full-electric driving at low speeds, while the system intelligently adjusts power distribution for optimal efficiency and grip.
It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 194 km/h—10 km/h faster than the e-Hybrid variant.

Designed to perform equally well on city streets and rugged terrain, the Avenger 4xe features enhanced off-road specs, including 210 mm ground clearance, 22° approach and 35° departure angles, and the ability to ford through 400 mm of water.
A rear axle reducer delivers 1,900 Nm of torque for steep climbs and tricky surfaces, while Selec-Terrain drive modes (Auto, Snow, Sand & Mud, and Sport) adapt the car to any environment. The multilink rear suspension—typically found in larger SUVs—adds both articulation and comfort.
Journalists got a first-hand look during the European Media Drive event in Florence and the Tuscan hills, exploring the Avenger’s balance of tech and trail-readiness.
Jeep’s Connected Services suite adds real-time navigation, over-the-air updates, remote vehicle management via app, and even ChatGPT integration for trip planning and brand insights.
The Avenger 4xe comes in three trims: Upland, Overland, and The North Face Edition. Upland offers rugged style with off-road tires, skid plates, LED lighting, and a durable interior.
The Overland, now available to order, adds Full LED projectors, ambient lighting, Level 2 assisted driving, and 360° sensors. Topping the range is the exclusive The North Face Edition—limited to 4,806 units—with unique styling, outdoor-ready gear, and special Summit Gold accents inspired by Mont Blanc.
Deliveries begin May 2025, marking another milestone for Jeep as it continues evolving with hybrid innovation while staying true to its adventure-first roots.
