A full AWD version of the Jeep Avenger is coming to Ireland later this year, following its reveal today at an event in Frankfurt, writes Brian Byrne.
The Avenger 4xe is powered by a 48-volt petrol-hybrid engine, and features a unique Jeep all-wheel-drive system and an automatic transmission, as well as a special rear suspension that provides greater articulation in off-road conditions. The powertrain comprises a 136hp thermal engine and two 21kW electric motors.
The car also has a selectable terrain function that allows specific powertrain settings for snow, mud, and icy conditions. The Avenger 4xe has a 10mm higher ride height than standard variants, and can ford up to 400mm depth of water.
Price and specifications will be made available closer to launch towards the end of the year.
