In Brief
The Jeep Avenger 4xe Hybrid 145 hp Overland benefits from a successful facelift that sharpens its styling and elevates the feel of the interior materials. The hybrid 4×4 version delivers a pleasant drive, modest fuel consumption, and improved off-road capabilities, though rear-seat space and cargo volume remain limited. This model also stands out for a higher price compared with the 110 hp variant. Despite persistent shortcomings, it attracts buyers with its versatility and driving enjoyment.
The Auto-Journal has taken the wheel of the Jeep Avenger 4xe Hybrid 145 hp Overland.
Jeep Avenger: A More Sporty Stance
Main styling updates focus on the front end, with cleaner headlamps and a redesigned seven-slot grille featuring backlighting in its upper portion. The redesigned bumpers contribute to a tougher, more muscular look. This 4xe hybrid version also stands out with a 10 mm higher ride height, roof rails, and protective body cladding that emphasize its rugged character.
Jeep Avenger: The Most Pleasing to Drive
Built around the well-known 136 hp three-cylinder turbo gasoline engine that powers many Group models, this version blends two electric motors of 28 hp each, one of which drives exclusively the rear axle. Combined output: 145 hp. The system is fed by a net 0.43 kWh battery.
In daily use, it proves convincing, thanks to its smooth operation and its responsiveness during acceleration. The brief, 100% electric runs contribute to keeping consumption down, with an observed figure around 6.4 L/100 km in our testing.
Jeep Avenger: Improvements
Critics have long called out the interior quality, and the Avenger steps up in this regard with an upgraded cabin. The dashboard and door panels now use foam-backed materials that feel more premium, and the 4xe variants receive a dedicated upholstery. Unfortunately, the Avenger does not fix its main flaw: limited overall space. The rear seats remain cramped, and the cargo area is noticeably smaller because of the extra electric motor, effectively turning the boot into more of a glove box.
Jeep Avenger: Not to Be Ridiculed
We couldn’t resist taking it off the beaten path. Good news: the Avenger holds its own in tougher terrain. Sure, its off-road capabilities are restricted by the limited suspension travel, but when you select the appropriate drive mode, the electronics manage torque distribution and grip effectively, including the rear electric motor. In steep downhill sections, you can rely on the descent-control assist to help out.
Jeep Avenger: Styled Up, but Pricey
The Avenger 4xe’s pricing is a factor. In this four-wheel-drive variant paired with the top-line Overland trim, the little Jeep starts at €36,090, about €5,000 more than a similarly equipped 110 hp hybrid with two-wheel drive. As a result, the modest €360 emissions penalty seems almost negligible in comparison.
Auto Journal Verdict: 4/5
“The Avenger fixes some of its growing pains. Not all of them, sadly. It asserts its style and finishes well. This 4xe version also demonstrates surprising versatility.”
