CAR magazine UK's Jeep Avenger review: full first drive by experts, specs, prices and a verdict you can trust
► Promises off-road ability and a 249-mile rangefor the brand – and it’s been raking in awards since it was launched, It even nabbed the coveted title of. But, having now spent some time in the car on UK roads, we fear its accolades need to be revisited.
Sadly, e-CMP2 isn’t the best starting point if you’re trying to build a world-beating small SUV. Development cycles move quickly in the electric car game and, although Stellantis updated the platform in 2023 with a larger 54kWh battery pack and a more powerful 154bhp motor, it still isn’t good enough to spar with the tech under the newerOf course. There are some good bits, such as its off-road ability.
The biggest problem with the Avenger is the strength of its competitors. It isn’t as comfortable as a Hyundai Kona Electric or a Kia Niro EV. Even its closest sister car, the Fiat 600e, does a better job of smoothing out shattered asphalt. And if you want an electric SUV that’s fun to drive, you’ll be better served by the Smart #1.
The infotainment system is a common Stellantis unit shared between the Fiat 600e and the facelifted Peugeot e-2008. The menu design is a little dull and the graphics aren’t quite as crisp as the Smart #1’s system, but it works well enough. We also like that it’s mounted high on the dashboard. It means you don’t need to drag your eyes too far from the road to read the sat-nav.
Motorways normally chew through an EV’s electricity reserves faster than the manufacturer’s official range figures would lead you to believe because the battery is under constant load. Before e-CMP2 was updated, Stellantis cars based on the platform were notorious for this foible. Hopefully, the Avenger’s more efficient motor and standard heat pump will help to lessen the blow.
