The Jeep Avenger is getting a mid-life facelift, having sold over 280,000 units worldwide. As well as minor aesthetic updates to the trim levels and powertrains, the Avenger introduces the special 85th Anniversary edition, featuring customisation inspired by the history of the American brand owned by Stellantis.

New 2026 Jeep Avenger

In terms of styling, the revamped Avenger – which is built in Poland alongside its sister models, the Fiat 600 and Alfa Romeo Junior – is recognisable by its backlit seven-slot grille, following the design already seen on the Compass, and by its redesigned headlights, which now also feature LED matrix technology. There is more protective cladding, and the 4xe version stands out thanks to red accents on the front bumper. New body colours are available, and brand-new 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels make their debut. The dimensions remain unchanged, of course, with a length of 4.08 metres, a width of 1.78 metres and a height of 1.53 metres. Stepping inside, you’ll appreciate the new materials on the door panels and dashboard, which enhance the overall sense of quality. The Select-Terrain control – used to adjust the various driving modes and settings – has been redesigned; it is now framed in red, rubber-coated and fitted as standard on all versions. The 10.25-inch central screen remains unchanged, allowing you to control the infotainment system – which is compatible with CarPlay and Android Auto via wireless connection – but new features include a 360-degree view of the car, ChatGPT and, on the electric model, the sat-nav with EV Routing in

Jeep Avenger facelift, road test

Tested with the 1.2-litre three-cylinder mild-hybrid engine producing 110 cavalli and 205 nm of maximum torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and front-wheel drive, the Avenger in the Summit trim impresses with its comprehensive equipment package but, above all, with its overall balance. The 1.2-litre engine, combined with the 48-volt hybrid system, delivers low fuel consumption of around 6 km/l as recorded during our test, whilst also offering good responsiveness when you decide to pick up the pace. The updated equipment package gets top marks, starting with the 360-degree cameras, which proved very useful in a decidedly tight car park.

 

Prices for the facelifted Jeep Avenger

The price list for the facelifted Jeep Avenger, which is already available to order at dealerships, starts at 25,700 euros for the Turbo 100 version with a six-speed manual gearbox. The engine now features a chain-driven timing system, replacing the much-criticised PureTech system with an oil-bath belt. Servicing intervals have now been optimised, with a full service every 2 years or 25,000 km (compared to the previous 1 year or 20,000 km) and an annual interim service. The price list ranges from 28,000 to 32

3,000. To be precise, the e-hybrid versions start at 27,700 euros for the Longitude trim, 29,700 euros for the Altitude and 31,700 euros for the 85th Anniversary and Summit trims. Rounding off the range of petrol and diesel models is the 145 cavalli Avenger 4xe, available from 32,700 euro in the Upland trim.
