Early in 2023, American SUV manufacturer Jeep plans to launch the Avenger, a new sub-4 metre SUV for the global market. The 2023 Avenger will compete in the Indian market's sub-4-meter SUV segment against the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and other sub-4-meter SUVs. Alongside an EV, it will also be available with an ICE engine. A walkaround video of the Avenger's exterior and interior appeared online ahead of the SUV's global introduction.
Crospotter 13 is acknowledged as the YouTube user that posted the video. The model in the video is an electric version of the vehicle, but the ICE version will have a similar appearance.

2023 Jeep Avenger Exterior
When it comes to the exterior design, the seven-slat grille on the front fascia is similar to all other Jeep SUVs. Gloss black paint gives the front grille and the region around it the appearance of being one continuous black stripe. The headlights are accompanied by LED fog lamps, and the LED DRLs above the headlights give it a distinctive style. The LED fog lamps are built into the black cladding that covers the lower portion of the bumper. It has Avenger badging on the front doors, 18-inch alloy wheels, and second-row door handles that are tucked in nicely next to the C-pillar on the side. The SUV's rear sports 'X'-shaped LED taillights, and the powertrain is identified by a 'e' badge on the tailgate.

2023 Jeep Avenger Interior
The upcoming Jeep Avenger is an SUV with a beautiful cabin and a plethora of features. The interior includes a steering wheel with three spokes similar to that of its older siblings. In the video, the interior of the SUV is seen to include a large touchscreen infotainment display that looks to be a 10-inch screen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, a digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and other features. The SUV will include additional safety features including ADAS, six airbags, ABS with EBD, and others.
2023 Jeep Avenger Engine
It is expected to have the same 1.2-Lt turbo-petrol engine under the hood as the C3 hatchback. However, it will undoubtedly be adjusted to meet the needs of the Jeep Avenger. Although the power output is unclear, we anticipate that it will have a peak power of close to 100 horsepower. The transmission will originally be a manual one. Nevertheless, we believe Jeep will eventually offer an automatic after the vehicle is released.
Verdict: If its price is set competitively in the market, the 2023 Jeep Avenger will be a strong rival for the sub-4 metre SUVs in the Indian market. The Jeep Avenger is anticipated to cost between Rs 8 and 12 lakh in India.
