Jeep Avenger EV Review for UK

Whenever an iconic American automobile marque produces its first-ever battery electric vehicle, there will always be some eagerness for information.

This Jeep® Avenger review takes the lid off to find out why this electric hatchback aims to become a world leader in electrified SUVs, especially in the United Kingdom.

All-New Jeep Avenger Electric Hatchback

After being voted the European Car of the Year in 2023, we decided to add the Jeep Avenger to our 4WD electric car list. Here's why:

This compact B-SUV is the first Jeep brand to win this particular award.
The first-ever fully electric Jeep brand vehicle received 328 points.
It is designed and built at the Stellantis group factory in Tychy, Poland.
Avenger is the first of four fully-electric Jeeps to target the European market by 2025.
Orders can be placed on the entire range of the new Jeep Avenger.

In fact, the all-new Jeep® Avenger is the first battery powered vehicle (BEV) produced by the brand. So, to win the European Car of the Year award was a notable achievement.

Nonetheless, the new Avenger EV also received further international acclaim from elsewhere. Some of the other prestigious titles include:

Best Family SUV at the Women's World Car of the Year
Best Small Car at the Autocar Awards
Electric Car of the Year at the Top Gear Electric Awards

It's fair to say that all Jeep 4x4 vehicles combine high performance with exciting driving. But, this is the brand's first that uses 100% full electric power.

Seven-slot grille
Black roof
Front and rear full-LED lights

The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is useful for maintaining a consistent speed, the correct distance from the vehicle in front, and for staying inside the lanes.

Drive electric, and totally stress-free. The first 100% electric Jeep® combines the performance and excitement of driving a Jeep® with all-electric power.

Of course, drivers also need to charge that all-electric power. According to the official company data it only takes three (3) minutes of 100 kW DC fast charging to guarantee at least eighteen (18) miles of range.

Here's the thing:

A modern, digital interior matches that of almost all 4x4 SUV and crossover vehicles nowadays. The functionality and flexibility also provides you with extensive storage capacity. Not to mention the handy interior compartments for storing a smartphone, water bottle, and sunglasses.

Inside the cabin, you get warm and cosy seats. Plus, a yellow and black colour scheme combines nicely with the yellow dashboard and multicoloured ambient lighting.
