The Jeep® Avenger (JJ) has firmly cemented its place in the hearts of Italian drivers, becoming the best-selling SUV in Italy in 2024. Not only does it top its category, but it’s also the third best-selling vehicle across all segments in the country. This success is no accident—Jeep’s dedication to delivering a compact yet capable SUV that thrives in both urban and off-road environments has resonated with a broad audience.
A Compact SUV Packed with Capability –
At just 4.08 meters (160.6 inches) in length, the Jeep Avenger may be compact, but it punches well above its weight. Built specifically for the European market, it perfectly balances city-friendly dimensions and rugged Jeep DNA. The Avenger easily handles crowded city streets and challenging terrains with a tight turning radius of just 10.5 meters (34.4 feet) and standard features like Selec-Terrain® and Hill Descent Control across all trims.
Despite its compact size, the Avenger offers a surprising amount of interior space. The trunk boasts 380 liters (13.4 cubic feet) of cargo capacity, and clever design features like a two-level adjustable base and 60/40 split-folding rear seats maximize versatility. Inside, drivers and passengers will find 34 liters (1.2 cubic feet) of additional storage compartments, ensuring there’s a place for all your essentials.
A Model for Every Driver –
One of the Jeep Avenger’s key strengths is its diverse lineup, catering to a wide range of needs and preferences. Buyers can choose from the following powertrain options:
- A 1.2-liter gasoline engine with 100 horsepower, paired with a manual transmission

- A 100% electric model offering emission-free driving
- The 4xe all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant, which debuted with the exclusive “The North Face Edition.”

Modern Design Meets Everyday Functionality –
Designed at the Jeep Design Studio in Turin, the Avenger features iconic elements like the seven-slot grille that ties it to the brand’s heritage. However, it also incorporates modern touches, such as 13 color combinations that allow owners to express their unique style.
Inside, the Avenger offers a seamless blend of functionality and technology. All models come standard with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, while higher trims include a customizable 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ make connectivity effortless, and ambient lighting in eight colors adds personalization to the interior.
The North Face Edition: A Standout 4xe Option –
For those who demand even more adventure, the 4xe all-wheel-drive version debuted in the special “The North Face Edition,” limited to 4,806 units—an homage to the height of Mont Blanc.
