Jeep's Smallest Hybrid Finally Gets AWD Thanks To Tiny Electric Motors
Briefly

The Jeep Avenger, the smallest vehicle from the American automaker, is now available with all-wheel drive through the new Avenger 4xe variant. This crossover, which has been front-wheel-drive in Europe for two years, features an interesting powertrain combining a 1.2-liter turbo engine with two small electric motors for electric all-wheel drive. With a total output of 145 horsepower, it can go from 0 to 62 mph in 9.5 seconds. Deliveries will commence in Europe in May, but it won't be available in the U.S.
The Jeep Avenger 4xe finally adds much-awaited all-wheel drive to the smallest car in Jeep's lineup, enhancing its versatility in urban settings.
With a total output of 145 horsepower, the Avenger 4xe can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 9.5 seconds, making it more performance-oriented than its front-wheel-drive predecessor.
Jeep's eAWD system allows for a 50:50 torque split at low speeds, although it's primarily designed for city driving conditions rather than off-road adventures.
The rear electric motor disengages at speeds over 56 mph, indicating that the Avenger 4xe is mainly intended for low-speed urban environments rather than highway speed stability.
