Jeep Avenger 4xe: the new plug-in hybrid version with all-wheel drive will arrive in Europe at the end of the year

The American manufacturer has just announced the new Avenger 4xe, a full-hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive that will go on sale in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2024. This new model stands out for its design, which evokes the classic Jeep models, but uses current technology and special care for aerodynamics. As can be seen in the images, Jeep has retained the iconic front grille design and the rear tow hitch on the 4xe, which was standard equipment on previous versions.

The 2024 Avenger 4xe features a 48 V mild-hybrid system, with a powerful 136 hp turbo engine complemented by two 21 kW electric motors located on both axles of the vehicle. At low speeds the electric drive system takes full control, and as speed increases the internal combustion system comes into action through the E-boost function. The new Avenger 4xe is capable of reaching 100 km/h from a standstill in 9.5 seconds, and its top speed is 194 km/h. This new model can also cross water currents up to 40 cm deep.

The American manufacturer has also highlighted that the Avenger 4xe features an intelligent all-wheel drive system that guarantees 4×4 capability at all times. At low speeds of up to 30 km/h, traction is permanent on all four wheels with a 50:50 split. At medium speeds of 30 to 90 km/h, the rear axle is only engaged when necessary. In any case, Jeep has stressed that the rear electric motor always remains connected to the rear wheels in case of a sudden demand.

Jeep is setting the course for the competition to follow with the new Avenger 4xe

In statements to the media, Eric Laforge, head of Jeep Europe, explained that the Avenger has been one of the most notable successes in Jeep’s history in Europe, with more than 90,000 orders from end customers, nearly 30 percent of which are for the fully electric version. The Avenger 4xe is therefore destined to become the new benchmark in the B-SUV segment, he said, offering exclusive design, superior performance and representing the full expression of Jeep’s legacy in all-wheel drive.

Additionally, Jeep took advantage of the Avenger 4xe presentation to offer a brief preview of the upcoming Wagoneer S, which will be officially presented in Europe at the end of the month. With these launches, Jeep seeks to consolidate its presence in this market, thus aiming to lead the transition toward more sustainable vehicles without losing the essence and robustness that characterize the brand.
