As usual for the Jeep brand, the new Avenger can be customized to the preferences of each user with certain accessories and personalization packages.
Going beyond customization, the Jeep Avenger embodies the philosophy of “standing out from the crowd” and giving users multiple options to make their off-roader unique.
Once inside the vehicle, the eyes are immediately drawn to the top of the dashboard, where a single horizontal panel houses all the vents, mood lighting and a centrally located 10.25-inch touchscreen that can be seen by the driver and passenger. The underside of the dashboard is marked by an open storage tray.
The new Avenger features details unique to this vehicle class, such as premium seats with electronically adjustable leather inserts and massage function (available later), multi-colour ambient lighting, which reduces eye fatigue when driving in the dark, and a stylish sunroof (available later). . The vehicle’s parking lights remain visible when the tailgate is opened for added protection and safety. Likewise, the center console has been developed to maximize the space available for driver and passenger. Designed to ensure the greatest possible storage space in a compact vehicle, the new Avenger offers the most volume in its category: 34 liters compared to an average of 15 liters in the segment.
The design rules adapted to the function have also been applied to the boot. The volume is one of the best in the segment (380 litres) and the functionality is reflected in the height of the sill, which has been lowered to 720 mm to facilitate access. It is also reflected in the more than one meter wide tailgate and in the integration of the hands-free opening system, a rarity in this segment.
To reduce damage caused by low-speed collisions, which account for about 70% of cases in Europe, the new Avenger has protections on the underbody, around the entire perimeter of the vehicle and on the headlamps. In particular, the headlamps are encased and positioned high to protect them in a low-speed collision. In addition, the SUV’s new skid plates are cast with colored resins. For example, if they are scratched, the damage will not be visible. In some areas that are more exposed, including doors, the coating is even thicker to provide extra protection.
