Both, however, offer surprising internal habitability, suitable for both small daily trips and longer journeys.
Trunk capacity
The Jeep Avenger Hybrid It offers a trunk with a capacity of approximately 380 litresa value that meets daily load needs and is also well suited to short trips out of town. The Toyota Yaris Cross, on the other hand, boasts a larger cargo area, with a capacity that varies between 397 and 411 litresdepending on the rear seat configuration.

Despite being less powerful than the Jeep, the Yaris stands out for the efficiency and silence of its hybrid system, which adapts perfectly to urban traffic and guarantees a relaxing drive
Consumption

The Jeep Avenger Hybrid, thanks to mild hybrid technology, offers interesting fuel consumption, reaching around 5.5 liters per 100 kilometresa certainly competitive value for the segment. For those who travel long distances, the Yaris Cross may be more economical, while the Avenger is more suitable for those who want a compromise between performance and consumption.
Prezzo
The price represents a decisive element in choosing between the two models. The Jeep Avenger Hybrid has a starting price of 26,450 eurosoffering good value for money thanks to its equipment and modern technology.

The Jeep stands out for its dynamic character and rugged style, while the Toyota focuses on efficiency and greater load capacity. Both are viable options in the compact SUV segment (and in fact they are the two best-selling models by far) ready to satisfy different needs in an increasingly competitive automotive landscape.
