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 Nissan ARIYA responds with a Electric making 160kW and 300Nm, paired to a automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 8 seconds.
The Nissan ARIYA has the clear power advantage at 160kW vs 115kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Nissan ARIYA is 1.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.

The Jeep Avenger measures 4,084mm long on a 2,557mm wheelbase, 511mm shorter than the Nissan ARIYA at 4,595mm (2,775mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Nissan ARIYA generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 355L in the Jeep Avenger and 466L in the Nissan ARIYA, giving the Nissan ARIYA a 111L advantage.
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 1.0 m tighter, 10.5 m against 11.5 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

Warranty: 5 years / 100k km (Jeep Avenger) and 5 years / Unlimited (Nissan ARIYA). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Jeep Avenger), 5 years (Nissan ARIYA).
Where each one leads
The Jeep Avenger: the lower starting price ($49,990 against $55,840) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($787 a year against $888).
The Nissan ARIYA: more power (160kW against 115kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (466L against 355L).
