The 2024 Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid offers a mild hybrid alternative to its electric version, using a 1.2-litre turbo three-cylinder engine combined with a 48V hybrid system. This system allows for electric driving at low speeds (up to 30 km/h) and enhances the smoothness of urban driving.

Although its engine may lack refinement at low revs, the hybrid system delivers smoothness and fuel savings, with an average consumption of 6 l/100 km. Beyond the city, its off-road capabilities are boosted by a 20 cm ground clearance and specific driving modes (mud, snow, sand), allowing the Avenger to handle challenging terrains.
Inside, the Avenger offers a modern cabin with ample storage space, though the material quality could be improved. This hybrid model positions itself as an effective compromise for those seeking a small, versatile SUV that’s economical and capable of venturing off the beaten track.
