Jeep has unveiled the Avenger with all-wheel drive.

Produced by Stellantis since last year, the subcompact crossover Jeep Avenger on the front-wheel drive Peugeot platform has received all-wheel drive modification 4xe.

All-wheel drive on Jeep Avenger 4xe is realized approximately as on Toyotas with E-Four system. The rear wheels are driven by an electric motor with a capacity of 21 kW.

Rear drive plays only an auxiliary role and is not activated for more than a few seconds. It is engaged when starting from a standing start, during intensive acceleration and can be activated forcibly in the “snow” and “mud” driving modes.

A second electric motor of exactly the same type acts as a starter-generator.
