Jeep Avenger: which version to buy and why
If the question is which Jeep Avenger to buy, the data set is one generation (from September 2022, still in production), one body (SUV 5-doors), and four named versions: 54 kW, 1.2 MT GSE T3, 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe, and 1.2 DCT GSE T3.
If the question is which Jeep Avenger to buy, the data set is one generation (from September 2022, still in production), one body (SUV 5-doors), and four named versions: 54 kW, 1.2 MT GSE T3, 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe, and 1.2 DCT GSE T3. There is no second generation to “wait for” in these figures, so the choice is between electric, a light manual petrol, an AWD petrol, and a robotic FWD petrol — not between eras.
Jeep Avenger generations compared (what actually changed)
1 generation (start 2022-09-01, stop not measured) is the whole catalogue: SUV 5-doors, four modifications. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation. Every version shares the same start date and the same 209 mm ground clearance, so generation-to-generation arithmetic is not available; version-to-version arithmetic is.
What did not change across the four: independent spring suspension front and rear, ventilated disc brakes in front, Disc brakes at the rear, 209 mm clearance. What did change is power, mass, drive, gearbox, and — for one petrol only — measured mixed consumption and CO2.
Jeep Avenger specs table (engines, gearbox, drive)
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 54 kW | 156 | 260 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | FWD |
| 1.2 MT GSE T3 | 100 | 205 | 1199 | Gasoline (95) | 3, Inline | Front, transverse | Turbo | Manual, 6 | FWD |
| 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe | 136 | 225 | 1199 | Gasoline (95) | 3, Inline | Front, transverse | Turbo | Robotic, 6 | AWD |
| 1.2 DCT GSE T3 | 100 | 205 | 1199 | Gasoline (95) | 3, Inline | Front, transverse | Turbo | Robotic, 6 | FWD |
Direct injection (direct) is listed for all three Gasoline versions. Compression 10.5 and bore/stroke 75 x 90.5 are measured only on 1.2 DCT GSE T3; on 1.2 MT GSE T3 and 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe those two figures are not measured.
Power per litre, kg per hp, and what the extra output buys
54 kW is the peak output in the line: 156 hp and 260 Nm. Displacement is not measured, so power per litre is not calculated for it. Kerb weight 1536 kg ÷ 156 hp = 9.85 kg per hp. Versus 1.2 MT GSE T3 (100 hp, 1107 kg), that is +56 hp and +429 kg kerb. Versus 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe (136 hp, 1107 kg), it is +20 hp but +429 kg. Versus 1.2 DCT GSE T3 (100 hp, 1213 kg), it is +56 hp and +323 kg.
The three Gasoline versions share 1199 cm³:
- 1.2 MT GSE T3: 100 hp / 1.199 L = 83.4 hp per litre; 1107 kg / 100 hp = 11.07 kg/hp.
- 1.2 DCT GSE T3: 100 hp / 1.199 L = 83.4 hp per litre; 1213 kg / 100 hp = 12.13 kg/hp. Same specific output as the manual, 1.06 kg/hp worse because it is 106 kg heavier at the same 100 hp.
- 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe: 136 hp / 1.199 L = 113.4 hp per litre; 1107 kg / 136 hp = 8.14 kg/hp. That is +36 hp and +20 Nm versus both 100 hp petrols, +30.0 hp per litre versus them, and the lowest kg/hp of all four versions.
Torque ranking is unambiguous: 54 kW 260 Nm, then 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe 225 Nm at 1750 rpm, then the two 100 hp petrols at 205 Nm at 1750 rpm. The electric’s torque advantage over 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe is +35 Nm; over the 100 hp pair it is +55 Nm.
Gasoline power is quoted at 5500 rpm on all three petrols. 54 kW has no rpm for power or torque (not measured).
Performance and economy: 0–100, top speed, mpg
0–100 km/h is not ranked the same as horsepower.
- 54 kW: 9.0 s, 150 km/h. City / highway / mixed consumption: not measured. Tank: not measured. CO2: not measured.
- 1.2 MT GSE T3: 9.0 s, 150 km/h. City / highway / mixed: not measured. Tank 44 L. CO2: not measured.
- 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe: 9.5 s, 194 km/h. City / highway / mixed: not measured. Tank 44 L. CO2: not measured.
- 1.2 DCT GSE T3: 10.9 s, 184 km/h. City / highway: not measured. Mixed 5.5. Tank 44 L. CO2 114.
Same 9.0 s for 54 kW (156 hp) and 1.2 MT GSE T3 (100 hp): the electric’s extra 56 hp is offset by 429 kg extra kerb. 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe is 0.5 s slower to 100 than those two despite 136 hp, but it is the only AWD and the fastest car: 194 km/h, +44 km/h versus 150, +10 km/h versus the FWD robotic 184.
1.2 DCT GSE T3 is the slowest sprint (+1.9 s versus the 9.0 s pair, +1.4 s versus 4xe) at the same 100 hp as the manual, consistent with +106 kg kerb and a Robotic 6 instead of Manual 6. It is the only version with a mixed figure (5.5) and CO2 (114). For the other three, mpg is not measured — that is not the same as “no consumption.”
If the buy decision is “fastest in a straight line to 100,” 54 kW and 1.2 MT GSE T3 tie. If it is “highest top speed,” 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe. If it is “only version with a published mixed number,” 1.2 DCT GSE T3.
Dimensions and weight: kerb, gross, clearance, tank, wheels
Ground clearance is 209 mm on every version. Wheel sizes are not measured on every version.
Kerb / gross / implied payload (gross − kerb):
| Version | Kerb | Gross | Payload (arithmetic) | Tank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 54 kW | 1536 | 2025 | 489 kg | not measured |
| 1.2 MT GSE T3 | 1107 | 2045 | 938 kg | 44 L |
| 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe | 1107 | 2045 | 938 kg | 44 L |
| 1.2 DCT GSE T3 | 1213 | 1782 | 569 kg | 44 L |
1.2 MT GSE T3 and 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe share the lightest kerb (1107 kg) and the highest gross (2045 kg), so the largest payload in this table: 938 kg, +449 kg versus 54 kW and +369 kg versus 1.2 DCT GSE T3.
54 kW is the heaviest kerb (1536 kg: +429 kg vs 1107, +323 kg vs 1213) with the smallest payload (489 kg). 1.2 DCT GSE T3 sits in the middle on kerb (1213 kg) but has the lowest gross (1782 kg), 263 kg below the 2045 kg pair and 243 kg below the electric’s 2025 kg — so its payload (569 kg) is closer to the electric than to the two 1107 kg cars.
Tank 44 L is listed on all three Gasoline versions; on 54 kW tank is not measured.
Which Jeep Avenger version to choose
There is no price in the data, so “extra money” here means extra capability in the numbers, not extra invoice.
Choose 1.2 MT GSE T3 if the job is light FWD petrol with the shortest 0–100 among petrols that are not tied with the electric. It is 100 hp, 205 Nm, Manual 6, FWD, 9.0 s, 150 km/h, 1107 kg. Versus 1.2 DCT GSE T3 you give up the only mixed 5.5 / CO2 114 and 184 km/h top speed, but you gain 1.9 s on 0–100, 106 kg less kerb, 263 kg more gross, and 369 kg more payload. Versus 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe you give up 36 hp, 20 Nm, AWD, and 44 km/h of top speed, and you gain 0.5 s to 100 and a Manual 6 instead of Robotic 6, at identical 1107 / 2045 kg.
Choose 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe if AWD and top speed are the reason to buy. It is the only AWD, 136 hp, 225 Nm, Robotic 6, 194 km/h, still 1107 kg kerb. It is the best power-to-weight (8.14 kg/hp) and the best specific output (113.4 hp/L). The trade versus the 9.0 s pair is +0.5 s to 100. Mixed consumption and CO2 are not measured on this version.
Choose 1.2 DCT GSE T3 if you want the FWD robotic 100 hp petrol and the only measured economy line. Same 100 hp / 205 Nm / 1199 / Turbo / Direct injection (direct) as 1.2 MT GSE T3, but Robotic 6, 10.9 s, 184 km/h, 1213 kg, 1782 kg gross, mixed 5.5, CO2 114, compression 10.5, 75 x 90.5. It is the slowest 0–100 and the worst kg/hp of the four (12.13). Versus the manual, the robotic FWD costs 1.9 s and 106 kg and returns +34 km/h top speed plus the only mpg/CO2 pair in the catalogue.
Choose 54 kW if the fuel must be Electro and peak torque/power matter more than payload. 156 hp, 260 Nm, Automatic 1, FWD, 9.0 s (tied with the manual), 150 km/h (tied with the manual). You pay 1536 kg kerb and 489 kg payload. Displacement, cylinders, layout, boost, tank, and all consumption figures are not measured. It does not beat 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe on 0–100 (it is 0.5 s quicker) or on top speed (it is 44 km/h slower); it beats that version on hp (+20) and Nm (+35) and loses on mass (+429 kg kerb).
Reliability and problems are not in the data: no failure rates, no recall counts. What the numbers do support is a mechanical split: one Electro Automatic 1 FWD; one Gasoline Manual 6 FWD; one Gasoline Robotic 6 AWD; one Gasoline Robotic 6 FWD. Clearance does not break the tie (209 mm on all). Body type does not break the tie (SUV 5-doors on all). Generation does not break the tie (one generation from 2022-09-01).
Short rule from the arithmetic: lightest useful petrol FWD sprint — 1.2 MT GSE T3. Only AWD and highest speed — 1.2 DCT GSE T3 4xe. Only published mixed 5.5 and 114 CO2 — 1.2 DCT GSE T3. Only Electro and highest hp/Nm — 54 kW.
