Direct Guide for Those Seeking All-Wheel Drive Without Sacrificing Urban Comfort. We Present Official Data on Price, Consumption, Power, and Equipment in Brazil.
The interest in AWD SUVs is growing among those who need off-road traction but do not want a pickup truck in their garage. In this guide, we gathered three options with AWD/4×4 sold in Brazil, with data verified by official sources. This way, you can compare performance, consumption, and price using auditable numbers.
The difference between permanent all-wheel drive and demand-based systems matters in actual use. Generally, SUVs alternate torque between axles to optimize consumption, activating the rear axle when traction is needed. Permanent solutions prioritize stability but tend to penalize fuel economy.
We selected models that are distinct in size, engine, and technology, but all deliver four-wheel traction and a complete safety package. The numbers below are based on technical specifications and communications from manufacturers.

Jeep Renegade Willys 4×4: Compact with Off-Road Capability and Known Consumption
The Renegade Willys is the only compact SUV on this list with 4×4 and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It uses the 1.3 T270 turbo flex engine with up to 185 hp and 27.5 kgfm. The traction integrates the terrain selector and independent suspension on all four wheels, useful on rough surfaces.
In domestic tests and specifications, the Willys’ consumption stands at 6.3 km/l (E) and 9.2 km/l (G) in the city, and 7.4 km/l (E) and 10.1 km/l (G) on the highway. These are consistent benchmarks for an automatic 4×4 in this weight and power range. Data helps in the cost per kilometer.
In terms of equipment, there are features like seven airbags, blind spot warning, tow hooks, and a sunroof in the package. The Willys version remains the top model of the Renegade 4×4 in 2025, with positioning close to R$ 185,000 in the network recently, varying by region and supply. Check local prices.
For those frequently driving on light trails and dirt roads, the Renegade combines compact dimensions and adequate approach/departure angles for everyday use. It is the most accessible 4×4 option in the selection and has wide technical support in Brazil.
BYD Song Plus Premium AWD: Plug-In Hybrid with 324 hp, Two Electric Motors, and 0–100 km/h in 5.2 s
The BYD launched in Brazil the Song Plus Premium AWD, featuring a setup that combines 1.5 turbo gasoline engine and two electric motors, totaling 324 hp and all-wheel drive. The brand claims 0–100 km/h in 5.2 s, positioning the SUV as the most powerful in the Song line sold here. It’s the fastest option of the trio.
