New Jeep EVs

Jeep Avenger: The new entry-level baby SUV makes its Paris Motor Show debut

After releasing the first few pictures of the new Jeep Avenger last month, the Stellantis-owned North American brand fully revealed its new baby SUV at the Paris Motor Show on Monday.

Described as being “right-sized” for Europe, the Jeep Avenger won’t be sold in the brand’s US home market and it remains to be seen whether South Africans will get to experience the new Jeeplet.

For now, the company has only released details about the fully-electric version of its new SUV, but a conventional turbocharged petrol engine will also be offered. That would make sense as we don’t know how else Jeep would reach its stated intention of positioning the Avenger beneath the Renegade as the entry-point to the brand.

Measuring 4.08 metres in length, the Avenger is 160mm shorter than the Renegade, and features short overhangs, but despite its small size the little Jeep still has a relatively decent ground clearance of 200mm.

Powering the front wheels only is an electric motor that produces 115kW and 260Nm. Feeding it is a 54 kWh battery that’s said to allow a WLTP cycle range of 400km and the carmaker claims that 550km is possible in the urban cycle. Jeep has also installed under-body skid plates to protect the batteries during off-road driving.

 
A stark enterprise: the Avenger is Jeep’s first electric car

The Jeep Avenger is the US brand’s first fully electric car, and Jeep’s promising ‘outstanding’ off-road credentials

Say hello to “the new entry point” in the Jeep range. Nope, the all-electric Avenger isn’t chasing the premium SUV dollar that so many other manufacturers have gone after: at just over four metres long, this thing’s smaller than the already-quite-dinky Renegade.

Unveiled today at the Paris Motor Show, a single motor sends 154bhp and 192lb ft to the front wheels, and beneath the seats you’ll find a 54kWh battery good for 249 miles of range. However, Jeep is keen for you to know this’ll rise to 310 miles if you stick to urban driving.

Quite why you’d do this is perplexing, especially given that Normal, Eco and Sport driving modes are joined by, er, Snow, Mud and Sand. Jeep boasts ‘outstanding’ off-roading ingredients too, with ground clearance of 200mm and approach, breakover and departure angles amounting to 20, 20 and 32 degrees respectively.

This is also the first front-driven Jeep with the firm’s Selec-Terrain system and hill descent control included as standard; not the kind of things you typically need for a box junction. Riding on 18in alloys (the tyres themselves are 690mm wide), there are plenty of skid plates and ‘360-degree cladding’ to guard against bumps and scrapes.

Jeep Avenger 4x4 Concept

Exemplifying the 'concentrated freedom' ethos of the new Jeep Avenger, the 4x4 Concept blends, design, capability and innovation in a compact body. Eye-catching, fun, and distinctive, the new arrival will be added to Jeep's range of 4xe models coming in the future.

Externally, the Jeep Avenger 4x4 Concept features tow hooks, wider fenders and track, and is equipped with larger, exposed and more aggressive tires. To further enhance the capability of the Jeep Avenger, the approach angle has been improved to 21 degrees, departure angle to 34 degrees and breakover angle to 20 degrees, thanks to the ground clearance which now exceeds 200mm.

The front end has additional protection, with thicker cladding and there are extra built-in flood lights to improve visibility when driving at night.

The Jeep Avenger Is a Tiny, Europe-Only EV

Jeep has unveiled the brand's first full EV and it's a European-only model.

A little over a month ago, Jeep dropped its EV plans on us. It showed us three EV models that Stellantis says are coming in the near future. Today, one of those models made its debut, but exclusively for the European market. Jeep has introduced the Avenger as its first EV for production.

Some of you might be wondering why Jeep would show us its big EV plans only for them to make the U.S. wait. North America is Jeep’s biggest market, but its first EV goes to the Old Continent.

There’s a good reason for it: the Avenger is tiny. Jeep says that the Avenger measures just four meters in length. For those who don’t use the metric system, that means the Avenger measures just 157.4 inches long. The Renegade, the smallest Jeep that was sold in the U.S., measured 166.6 inches long. For this thing to be just over nine inches shorter than a Renegade is a big deal. Jeep is trying to capture some of that sweet B segment SUV market share in Europe.

The Jeep Avenger 4x4 concept is a pint-sized EV off-roader

Jeep adds more Jeepishness to its smallest... uh, Jeep. We’ll explain

If you’ve not seen it before, this is a Jeep Avenger, a brand-new and rather teensy little SUV that’s coming to European shores (and, most likely, plains, highlands, mountain regions and so on) somewhere around the start of 2023.

And yes, Jeep is calling it the Avenger, a suitably overwrought name for what’s essentially an Americanised version of the Vauxhall Mokka and Peugeot 2008. But perhaps a fitting one: it’s the first Jeep we’ve seen that’s a true product of the combined might of the Stellantis hydra. This means the Avenger, like the Mokka and 2008, can run on electricity instead of earth-ruining liquids. Cue the avalanche of whataboutisms in the comments.

The practical upshot, from a driving perspective, is a small EV SUV with 150bhp and front-wheel drive. Fine for something like a Mokka, but not exactly what Jeeping means to us, or indeed to faithful Jeepers.

Which feels like as good a time as any to introduce the Avenger 4x4 concept, which appears to add Jeepishness (yep, that’s the word) to the Die Hard With a Vengeance until it earns its badge and grille. Which it probably won’t need. Because it’s electric.

Jeep asks fans for help with naming the new electric Wagoneer

The family of Jeep Wagoneer is growing and its smallest addition is all-electric and is coming in 2024. Arguably it is the best looking member of the family and it will go head-to-head with the likes of Range Rover Sport. It has the looks, it has the performance but it hasn’t got the name - yet.

For now the company has codenamed the new all-electric Jeep Wagoneer the “S” - apparently the “S” stands for speed, striking and sexy according to Ralph Gilles, the CDO of Jeep. The company is promising a dual-motor AWD powertrain with 600 HP supercar worthy acceleration of 3.5 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. The days of SUVs accelerating in 8 seconds to 60 mph and being called fast are truly over.

Jeep promises a 400 miles range but that’s more likely to happen when the car is driven very carefully, with the claimed performance it’ll be very difficult to keep the right foot away from the accelerator.

Despite the car being signed off for production and going on sale in 2024, Jeep hasn’t decided on a name for it. The company had few names for it but in the end just couldn’t decide which one to go for. The decision was taken to involve Jeep fans and the wider community.

Internet, Jeep needs you to name its new off-roader!

Jeep’s new electric Wagoneer needs a name, and it’s farming it out across America

Americans, do we have an opportunity for you...

No, this isn’t an invitation back to the Commonwealth or anything like that – we’re pretty sure we got your answer on that one. This is a much simpler and less historical endeavour – come up with a name for Jeep’s upcoming electric Wagoneer, and if your name is successful, you get to spend seven days in the hole.

Er, we should probably clarify that the prize is a week in Jackson Hole, a hilariously named yet super-slick ski resort in Wyoming. As tranquilised giraffes would probably make a better fist of snowboarding than we do, we’re happy to note that Jackson Hole is home to a) some tremendously soft powdery snow to fall in, and b) astonishing vistas to enjoy as we nurse our aching bones and bruised bodies.

Apparently the total spend for a week nestled in the lap of luxury is $40,000, which translates to £33,000 in British, and a fat stack of cash in pretty much anyone’s language.

Jeep Avenger review

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Jeep has built an excellent city car, with OK range and quick-enough rapid charging. Chuckable too”

Well, who'da thunk it? Jeep has built an excellent city car. Like any decent EV the powertrain is silent, smooth and locally emissions-free. It qualifies for various cheap parking and congestion-zone incentives. It's small and manoeuvrable and the boxy outline helps you judge the corners. The bash-resistant exterior and speedbump-happy suspension calm your nerves.

That's not all, mind. It has OK range and quick-enough rapid charging, so its long-distance compass is perfectly tolerable. And the cruising manners are fine. It's actually fairly chuckable in corners, even bumpy ones. Thank the small size and long-travel suspension.

So enjoy the irony. A car designed to work reasonably well in one environment, moderate off-road trails, ends up working really well in its precise opposite. Not, of course, that Jeep didn't know that all along.

Jeep Avenger wins Car of the Year award at Brussels motor show

Jeep's first EV took the prestigious award ahead of the Kia Niro, Renault Austral and Toyota bZ4X, among others

The Jeep Avenger has officially been named the 2023 Car of the Year at the Brussels International motor show after a judging panel comprising 57 leading motoring journalists from 23 countries cast their votes.

The all-electric Avenger, which arrives this year as Jeep's first electric car, was awarded the prestigious title ahead of six other shortlisted contenders and follows the Kia EV6, which took the prize last year.

The Jeep was a clear winner, with 328 points. Second was the Volkswagen ID Buzz, which scored 241 points, with the Nissan Ariya third (211 points).

The Kia Niro finished fourth (200 points), followed by the Renault Austral (163 points).

Rounding off the seven-car shortlist was the Peugeot 408 (149 points) and the Subaru Solterra/Toyota bZ4X (133 points).

The Avenger joins an acclaimed list of winners, including the Toyota Yaris in 2021, the Peugeot 208 in 2020 and the Jaguar I-Pace in 2019.

The Jeep Avenger has won the European Car of the Year 2023 title

Blimey. Jeep’s new EV takes this year’s Car of the Year title

The Jeep Avenger has been announced as Europe’s Car of the Year for 2023.

A panel of 59 motoring journalists from 23 different countries across the continent voted for their favourite new cars of the past 12 months, with the shortlist including the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. (which finished in second place), the Nissan Ariya (third place), the Kia Niro, Peugeot 408, Renault Austral and the Subaru Solterra/Toyota bZ4X.

Each juror is then given a maximum of 25 points to allocate across the shortlist however they see fit in order to find a winner. This year the results were revealed in a Eurovision-style ceremony at the Brussels International Motorshow. Yep, they really did read out each country’s votes one-by-one.

Our very own juror Paul Horrell said in his assessment of the eventual winner: “This car caught me out. I expected to dislike it but experience proved the opposite. It's very usefully small but drives like a refined bigger car. So it's at home in cities and on the open road as well as in mildly rough going. (More than mildly rough with the coming 4xe.) Interior design and space use commend it too. But neither of its powertrains, EV or combustion, advance the art.”

Jeep Avenger wins European Car of the Year 2023

American automaker Jeep won European Car of the Year 2023 at the Brussels auto show with its newly released Avenger compact SUV. The interesting bit is that the Avenger can only be found in select North American countries and in Europe as the CEO thinks the vehicle is too small for the US.

However, it seems like a pretty good match for the European consumers since it was voted the best by journalists in more than 20 countries. The Jeep racked up 328 points in total, with 21 jurors ranking it first. The Avenger blows past Volkswagen's ID. Buzz and Nissan Ariya.
