Jeep Avenger 4×4 version will arrive in 2024

Recently chosen as Car of the Year 2023 in Europe, the Jeep Avenger is established as a key model for the growth plans of the brand in the old continent. And it is that it is not only the smallest proposal in the range but is also presented as the first electric car produced by Jeep.

The Jeep Avenger uses the eCMP modular platform from the Stellantis group, which we can also find in the Citroën ë-C4, DS 3 E-TENSE, Opel Mokka Electric, and Peugeot e-2008, among others. The newcomer, which is equipped with a 156 hp (115 kW) and 260 Nm engine, is currently only available with front-wheel drive.

Although up to now the eCMP platform has not been offered with all-wheel drive, the existence of a Jeep without this option is inconceivable. For this reason, the company is already working to adapt the architecture to this configuration. It is confirmed that the new version will hit the market in 2024.

“It is another strength of the Avenger,” Antonella Bruno, head of Jeep in Europe, explained in a recent interview. “The two-wheel-drive edition is just as capable an off-roader as the Renegade. But yes, the 4×4 will arrive and, when it does, it will offer maximum capacity. There is a plan, we are going to launch the electric and then the 4×4 will arrive in 2024 ».

The Jeep Avenger 4×4 could be electric or hybrid

Jeep Avenger 4x4

Preceded at the end of last year by the Avenger 4×4 Concept, this model will probably integrate a second motor on the rear axle, which will improve its off-road performance. Systems such as Hill Descent Control or Selec-Terrain with six driving modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, and Sand), already present in the standard variant, should be maintained.

However, the distinction made by Bruno between electric and 4×4 makes us think that perhaps the Avenger 4×4 is not pure electric, but a hybrid. And it is that following in the footsteps of the Renegade 4xe and Compass 4xe, it could combine a gasoline engine in the front axle with an electric unit in the rear, something that we will not discover until next year.

This transformation will also be used to make other changes. The ground clearance will exceed 20 cm, and the original dimensions will be improved (20º attack angle, 20º break over angle, and 32º departure angle), being highly probable that they coincide with those of the prototype (21º attack angle, ventral angle of 20º and departure angle of 34º).

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
