The Toyota Prado has the clear power advantage at 150kW vs 115kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Jeep Avenger is 0.6s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.

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.
