Drivetrain
The Jeep Avenger uses a Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor producing 115kW and 260Nm of torque, sent through a single-speed to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 9 seconds.
The Lexus LX responds with a Petrol making 305kW and 650Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 6.7 seconds.
The Lexus LX has the clear power advantage at 305kW vs 115kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Lexus LX is 2.3s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Jeep Avenger measures 4,084mm long on a 2,557mm wheelbase, 1016mm shorter than the Lexus LX at 5,100mm (2,850mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Lexus LX generally means more rear legroom.

Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Jeep Avenger's turning circle is 2.3 m tighter, 10.5 m against 12.8 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the Jeep Avenger costs about $787 a year (16.4 kWh/100km) and fuel for the Lexus LX about $3,392 a year (11.9 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / 100k km (Jeep Avenger) and 5 years / Unlimited (Lexus LX). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Jeep Avenger), 4 years (Lexus LX).
Where each one leads
The Jeep Avenger: the lower starting price ($49,990 against $167,700).
The Lexus LX: more power (305kW against 115kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (487L against 355L).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
