, both of which offer electric options as well. However, the Avenger sports a newly developed, 400-volt powertrain that features a single electric motor at the front axle, making this Jeep front-wheel drive only.
The motor generates a peak 156 hp and draws its energy from a 54-kwh battery that Jeep estimates will deliver a range of over 200 miles. Charging from 20-80% capacity can be achieved in around 24 minutes using a fast charger, according to Jeep.Despite featuring front-wheel drive, the Avenger still benefits from Jeep off-road attributes like short overhangs and a high ground clearance of almost 8.0 inches, plus Hill Descent Control and the Selec-Terrain drive mode selector.
The vehicle also comes with an impressive feature list, despite being the entry-level model in the Jeep range. All Avengers come with a digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, navigation, voice activation, and the ability for over-the-air updates.
