Jeep’s latest special edition features seats inspired by puffer jackets

Automakers have a long history of partnering with apparel brands, and that trend continues thanks to a tie-up between Jeep and The North Face. The collaboration has spawned a limited edition Avenger 4xe and only 4,806 units will be available in Europe as a nod to Mont Blanc’s height in meters.

Designed to perfectly encapsulate the “philosophy of sustainable exploration,” the model celebrates “the strength and elegance of the mountainous landscape.” Marketing hype aside, the crossover has a Storm, Volcano or Snow exterior with contrasting Summit Gold accents. Customers can also choose a contrasting black roof.

Further changes are limited, but there is a slightly revised grille with gloss black rings and topographic centers. Buyers will also find an anti-reflective hood decal as well as 17-inch alloy wheels with a black finish and golden Jeep lettering.

The colorful design continues in the cabin as there are special seats that draw inspiration from puffer jackets. They wear durable, two-tone trim with Summit Gold flourishes. The backs of the front seats are also special as they have elastic straps, reminiscent of those found on backpacks from The North Face.

Rounding out the highlights is a unique dashboard that incorporates topographical lines as well as a silhouette of Mont Blanc and an inscription that reads “One of 4806.” It is accompanied by a unique center console and special floor mats with 3D mountain ranges.

Apart from the special details Avenger comes nicely equipped with a heated windshield, a hands-free power tailgate and passive entry. Buyers will also enjoy heated front seats, GPS navigation and a multi-color ambient lighting system.

Motivation is given by a hybrid powertrain which consists of a turbocharged 1.2-liter engine, two electric motors and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. This setup produces 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) and enables the model to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 9.5 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 120 mph (194 km /h).

Jeep is currently accepting orders and buyers will receive a welcome pack that includes a tent, bag and water bottle. Prices vary by country, but the Avenger 4xe The North Face Edition starts at £34,999 in the UK, €39,000 in Germany and €38,750 in France.
