Can a Jeep not have four-wheel drive? Of course not. And so the Avenger, a true best-seller of the American brand in Italy, expands its offer with the arrival of a 4×4 version that combines four-wheel drive with a hybrid powertrain. It is called Avenger 4xe and is powered by a 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine combined with two electric motors. One, as on the 4×2 version, is placed inside the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the other (which is the real novelty), is located near the rear axle and transmits drive to the rear wheels.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Also standard are four-season Mud & Snow tyres, but, above all, a trim raised by 1 centimetre that brings ground clearance to 21 cm and fording capacity to 40 cm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stepping aboard one discovers aluminium-coloured trim on the dashboard and touches of colour on the air vents. Added to this are seats upholstered in a special waterproof and stain-resistant fabric that has twice the wear resistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
