Under the Hood: Power and Efficiency

The Jeep Avenger offers diverse engine options, including Electric, Petrol MHEV, and Petrol variants, targeting a broad audience from eco-conscious drivers to traditionalists. The electric model boasts a 51 kWh battery with an impressive range of up to 400 kilometers, making it a viable option for those adopting a sustainable lifestyle. The petrol variant offers a horsepower range of 100 to 156 HP and a torque range from 205 to 260 Nm, while maintaining a relatively low consumption of 5.4 to 5.7 L/100km.

In contrast, the Volvo XC40 leans on its robust Petrol MHEV engine, producing between 163 to 197 HP with a torque range of 265 to 300 Nm. It showcases a moderate consumption rating of 6.5 L/100km. Although it doesn't offer an electric variant like the Avenger, its petrol hybrid technology ensures good efficiency aligned with power, suitable for those desiring performance with lower CO2 emissions.
