Feature Showdown

Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
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 Renault Duster responds with a Petrol making 113kW and 270Nm, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 9.2 seconds.
The Jeep Avenger has the clear power advantage at 115kW vs 113kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Jeep Avenger is 0.2s 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, 261mm shorter than the Renault Duster at 4,345mm (2,657mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Renault Duster generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 355L in the Jeep Avenger and 472L in the Renault Duster, giving the Renault Duster a 117L 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 0.4 m tighter, 10.5 m against 10.9 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

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).
