NEW JEEP AVENGER EV FIRST LOOK: THE FIRST JEEP TO BE FULLY ELECTRIC

EV Channels Review

The Jeep Avenger EV marks a significant entry for the brand, being its first all-electric model and a compact SUV that defies the trend of excessive weight. The reviewer highlights its practical 4-meter footprint, offering good boot space (380 liters) and a family-friendly cabin. Key positives include its stylish, non-fussy exterior design with protective plastic cladding, distinctive rear light clusters, and thoughtful interior touches like physical buttons and ample storage (34 liters). The claimed WLTP range of around 250 miles, with potential for over 300 in city use, is deemed competitive. However, the reviewer expresses a personal dislike for the 'Avenger' name, preferring the classic Hillman Avenger. The price for the launch First Edition is noted at £36,500, with subsequent models expected to be cheaper. Despite being front-wheel drive, it offers selectable drive modes (Mud, Snow, Sand, Sport, Eco) and Hill Descent Control, enhancing its all-terrain capability.
