Jeep Avenger: The start of a new era – digital, Jeep Avenger test: what is (really) the car of the year 2023?

Jeep Avenger test: what is (really) the car of the year 2023 

Finally, note that Jeep is an important brand within the Stellantis group, since it represents 1.5 million registrations in the world in 2022. By 2025, four electric vehicles are expected, including a four-wheel drive Jeep Avenger, a all-electric Wagoneer S station’s with 600 km of autonomy, a 4×4 dedicated to fully electric crossing baptized Recon, without forgetting a novelty, too 100 % electric, which we do not have the details for the moment.

Jeep Avenger: the start of a new era

With 1,500 orders even before it arrived in dealerships, the new Jeep Avenger is the first electric car of the US brand, more used to the 4×4 large displacements. Intended for a wider, young and urban audience, it shares the same powertrain as the Peugeot E-308, E-208 and DS 3 E-Tense. But what is this SUV worth on the road ?

The Jeep Avenger is the fully electric manufacturer’s vehicle. In addition to entering a new era, this SUV is also a means for the United States to send a new young, connected and urban audience at the same time. The Jeep Avenger is based on the 156 hp motorcycle group powered by a 54 kWh battery, whose autonomy is announced for 400 km (WLTP cycle). This electric machinery is shared with other vehicles from the Stellantis group, such as the Peugeot E-308, E-208 and DS 3 E-Tense.

Presentation

However, despite its two -wheel drive traction only, the Avenger wants to carry Jeep’s adventurous heritage with raised ground clearance and driving modes dedicated to snow, sand and mud. A descent control is also delivered as standard. Assets that should make it more versatile.

The range begins at 39,000 € with already interesting equipment, which includes automatic air conditioning, a 7 -inch digital instrumentation handset, keyless start, LED headlights, heat pump and UConnect connected and multimedia interface 10.25 inch with Android Auto and Apple Carplay Wireless. The longitude finish adds 16 -inch alloy rims, reversing radars and degiver mirrors for € 40,000. The altitude finish is enriched with navigation, opening without key, a hand-free electric tailgate and an adaptive stop ’n Go regulator for € 42,000.

Our Summit finishing trial version is available for € 43,000. She adds assistance to semi-autonomous driving, a 180 ° reversing camera, a wireless charger for smartphone, 18-inch alloy rims, heated seats, as well as the monitoring of the dead angles.

In any case, therefore, the new Jeep Avenger is eligible for the ecological bonus of € 5,000.

Finally, note that Jeep is an important brand within the Stellantis group, since it represents 1.5 million registrations in the world in 2022. By 2025, four electric vehicles are expected, including a four-wheel drive Jeep Avenger, a all-electric Wagoneer S station’s with 600 km of autonomy, a 4×4 dedicated to fully electric crossing baptized Recon, without forgetting a novelty, too 100 % electric, which we do not have the details for the moment.

Design

This new Jeep Avenger runs the heads. Highly awaited by fans, the urban SUV has a compact silhouette which, of course, takes up the aesthetic codes of Jeep with a seven slot grille and trapezoid wheel passages, but is not as massive as what its curved wings could increase. Above all, with 4.08 m, it is only 3 cm longer than a Peugeot E-208.

The E-CMP2 modular electrical platform is the same as the latter, but has been considerably personalized with specific settings to provide different rolling capacities. From this platform, the front and rear overhangs have been reduced to the minimum, raised ground clearance (200 mm), while the front, rear and ventral attack angles are all 20 °-and obviously unique compared to the other vehicles of the group that share this platform. Note that the turning radius is only 10.5 m.

Good surprise when discovering the cabin. It is certainly not very spacious, with a knee space that is too reduced on the back, but nicely drawn and functional. We benefit from 30 l of storage and the dashboard is rational with manual controls for direct access to air conditioning and other features. A large short stove also runs along the passenger compartment, below the colorful panel. We note the disappearance of the gear lever, replaced by PRND keys, which makes it possible to release space on the central console and to put a small handbag there.

The finish is not extraordinary with a lot of plastic hard everywhere and a feeling a little cheap, But the assemblies are without reproaches.

The 355 l trunk volume of the Jeep Avenger is inserted between that of an E-208 (311 L) and an E-308 (361 L).

Techno

The Jeep Avenger has a 7 -inch readable, reactive 7 -inch instrumentation handset grouping together essential information, although overall summary. There is no possibility of personalization and the graphics lacks a bit of fun, in our opinion. Same observation with regard to the 10.25 -inch UConnect multimedia interface: graphics are sorely lacking in modernity and access to certain functions, such as keeping the track (which is reactive to each start), obliges to pass in Menus and submenus. However, we appreciate the organization by icons, accessible by typing with three fingers on the screen, so the tile system (widget) via the home page. We would nevertheless appreciated a higher responsiveness and more ergonomic driving assistance menus.

Keep in mind that the interface is Android Auto and Apple Carplay Wireless. Thanks to UConnect Services connected services and the Jeep mobile app, it is possible to geolocate the vehicle, lock/unlock the doors, check the battery level, program your charge and activate air conditioning. Bluetooth connectivity, four USB sockets (including two USB-C at the front) and induction recharge are also part.

The rear view camera makes the job, but the quality of the image is not extraordinary.

To activate level 2 semi-autonomous driving, two clicks of the left thumb is needed via the commodos arranged on the steering wheel branches. Maintaining the distance with the preceding vehicle is consistent, but the recognition of the panels is sometimes a little fanciful. Maintaining the way can also cause some sudden returns in the direction – we also recommend deactivating it on small roads.

On the road

From the first laps, we find the softness of operation linked to the new electric machinery in Stellantis and common to other vehicles in the group. The M3 power unit adopted on the Avenger is a second generation electric motor with 400 V high -yield. This is the first power unit launched by Emotors (50/50 joint venture established by Stellantis and Nidec), which provides 156 hp and 260 Nm of maximum torque. If the power is modest, the instantaneous response of the torque makes it possible to evolve on a net of gas in town, where we see a few thumbs up in our path, as the boil of this Avenger attracts sympathy.

But who says Jeep says escape, and it is a little more removed pace that we cross the Champagne countryside. There, you have to know how to stay moderate. The Avenger does not like to be abrupt due to a front axle which tends to under the sub-party and an uncomfortable direction. It’s a shame, because the manufacturer has worked on pitching and roll, but the ground connections lack a little rigor if we force the line.

However, with its adventurer DNA, the Avenger does not relieve to roll in the white paths and the country getaway is quite possible. The descent control activates in one click and it is gently that this two-wheeler roams the stony paths. Another remark, if the suspension shows too much flexibility on the road, she knows Conversely show indulgence in off-road and allows you to climb small slopes and other (small) ruts without fail. A versatility that augurs the best with the future 4×4 transmission.

Good surprise during our test, consumption was able to remain reasonable. On a 150 km loop made of roads, a city and a short portion of fast tracks, our average stabilized around 15.5 kWh/100 km. This figure allows you to count on a little less than 350 km of independence in mixed cycle with the 54 kW battery. On the other hand, we remain hungry with regard to load power, since it is satisfied with 100 kW and that we must wait 25 min to go from 20 to 80 % battery.

Conclusion

The Jeep Avenger is first of all a cute mouth of a small urban SUV. Nicely drawn, well equipped and provided with a coherent powertrain for small journeys, the Avenger has no shortage of advantages. On the other hand, we plague a little against the interface that lacks fun and responsiveness, as well as on the settings of the chassis which lack rigor when the Touricote route. Too bad, because it has had sex appeal And knows how to get out of tarmac roads if necessary.

The fact remains that its price may cool more than one, as is its autonomy and its load power not high enough to really escape.

Jeep Avenger test: what is (really) the car of the year 2023 ?

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

Volkswagen Id3 Phase 2 2023 Reviews

The winner of the “Car of the Year 2023” prize goes on the grill. Winner for the first time in the trophy, Jeep presents with the Avenger both the smallest of its vehicles, but also the one that seems most cut for the city.

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

Since January, the first electric Jeep has enjoyed an unexpected craze for a fairly discreet manufacturer on French territory (around 6,000 registrations in 2022). The reason ? To everyone’s surprise, the Avenger won the prestigious price “Car of the year 2023”. If this choice surprised more than one observer at the time, it is not so much because of the American origin of the winner, it is more compared to the arguments offered by the little SUV of Jeep, in particular against competition. The Avenger has been developed on a fairly old platform (we will come back to it) and limited on certain aspects. If he has managed to forget this defect, the latest baby of the Jeep probably owes it to his advantageous design, but not only. What is the recipe for the success of Jeep Avenger ? Is this one deserved ?

Well born, quickly rewarded

As attractive as it is in terms of design, the Avenger is a jeep above all. This implies certain aesthetic obligations such as seven bars grille, trapezoidal wheel arches or the many protections around optics and on the flanks to highlight the adventurous side of the beast. But as adventurous as he thinks of being, the Avenger was especially designed for the city. Thus, with its 4.08 m long and 10.5 meters of turning radius, the compact SUV is also the smallest vehicle in the manufacturer’s catalog.

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

This relative compactness is not to displease and it is undoubtedly the first argument of this Jeep whose objective is to seek customers with the regulars of Mini, another manufacturer who puts a lot on the style. So that’s anything but a coincidence, if Jeep allows you to personalize an countless number of elements of your vehicle. Thus, the online configurator would offer no less than 150 different versions of the Avenger according to the colors and materials of the various finishes.

Finally, as usual, the brand’s designers hid all over the car a few ” Easter Eggs »». There are seven in total, some of which are very well hidden. They serve as much to brighten up the design of the Avenger as to anchor it in a automotive tradition born with the Willys.

A very well made up E-208 ?

On the side of the technical sheet, however, there are quite a few surprises and it is absolutely logical. Jeep, as American as it is, is an entity of the Stellantis group (Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Fiat, etc.)). Thus, the first electric jeep was built on a well-known platform for the French: the E-CMP, which also saw the birth of the E-208 and the DS3 E-Tense.

It is therefore not surprising to find on the Avenger, the 156 hp engine of the electric compact lion and even less its new 51 kWh battery which allows you to tu 400 km of autonomy.

Interior: a little dated all the same

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

Inside, the Avenger is rather wise, not to say disappointing. Its dashboard makes two screens cohabit, in a fairly classic way. But if that of the instrumentation is relatively clear and easy to understand, the main screen is much less welcoming and invites you to use carplay or quasi -COL. Good news: the Avenger does not require a cable for this, which is almost its technological point of organ. For the rest, the driving environment is a little outdated, in particular compared to what Peugeot offers in the same group.

We will therefore quickly pass over this certainly welcoming interior (especially at the front), but which slightly lacks ambition, especially with regard to its price.

Avenger on the road, what does it give ?

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

Failing to shine by its on-board technology, does the Avenger offer interesting driving sensations ? In terms of performance, Jeep does not make a miracle. Despite a relatively limited weight for an electric SUV (about 1.6 tonnes), it is difficult to feel the 260 Nm of torque at the acceleration. However, the figures are there, the 0 to 100 km/h is well made in 9 seconds, but the sensation on board is erased. This may be an advantage on which we would not have bet. The fairly round driving and the relatively soft behavior of the Avenger systematically divert us from the sporting driving required by certain aspects of the test.

Rather comfortable, moreover, the Avenger seems clearly more suitable for city driving in which it is ultimately very comfortable. Its turning radius contributes to this observation, as is its dimensions. On the secondary network and on a fast track, on the other hand, he confronts his driver with a relatively painful concern: a lack of sensations in the direction which reduces his capacities in the chain of turns, during which he is not Helped by his tendency to undersene. A jeep for the city, you said ?

We will not dwell on rather basic, but relatively controlled driving aids, with the notable exception of helping in the way, horrible as desired, but that it is possible to deactivate thanks to a physical button present under the screen. This behavior more suitable for the city to another, rather happy consequence: on autonomy, the Avenger looks good.

Finally, the Avenger being a Jeep, the American manufacturer has made some modifications to the platform in order to give it some additional arguments in terms of crossing, and a typical driving position. The 20 cm enhanced ground clearance and a “descent” mode based on a traction control meet these requirements, but as much the driving position seems to us to be a good idea, as much the exotic driving modes (mud, snow, sand ) seem somewhat exaggerated to roam the streets of Neuilly.

Autonomy: 400 km in town, it’s enough

The Peugeot E-208 not being what we can call a champion of autonomy, there was material to doubt the capacities of an Avenger taking up the same technical base to associate it with a SUV template, that is to say less aerodynamic. However, and this is an excellent surprise, the electric jeep has been able to take advantage of the progress that has been made in the past year on the E-CMP platform and which also allow the compact lion to display better performance.

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

Thus, on our test route, which has not borrowed the slightest portion of motorway, let us underline it, the consumption of our Avenger mounted on 18-inch wheels was just less than 16 kWh/100 km. During the more sporty driving phases, this same consumption brought the 20 kWh/100 km, but this value was immediately counterbalanced by a striking energy saving over the 100 % urban parts. In “city” configuration, the consumption of the Avenger is that of a small electric city car, or about 14 kWh/100 km.

The conditions of our test, we regret it, did not allow us to judge the consumption of the Avenger on the highway. Nevertheless, even if the electric jeep would be efficient on this point, it suffers from a defect which will always prevent it from being a road: its fast charging capacity. On this point, the Avenger is limited to 100 kW, which is less than almost all of the competition at this price (130 kW and more).

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

Value for money: has the train already passed ?

Jeep Avenger - Dimitri Charitisis, 01net.com

No doubt about the award of the car of the year, the positioning of the Avenger played. The cheapest vehicle on the finalist set, the Summit version of our test was traced in its first edition at 36,500 euros. Six months later, thanks to the raw material crisis and tensions on the flea market, this same version is billed 43,500 euros. However if at 36,500 euros excluding bonus, the Avenger could have appeared as an interesting investment, at 7,000 euros more, our gaze evolves, and especially since it is confronted with much more competitors, to start by a certain Tesla Model 3.

Luckily, Jeep saw this sudden inflation compensated by a very prestigious distinction and which is often a source of sales. Moreover, when writing these lines, while the first Avenger arrive in dealerships, the manufacturer has no less than 1,500 orders for its small electric, a great success with the usual Jeep volumes in France.

Test verdict

At the end of our test, our surprise to see the Crowned Jeep Avenger is confirmed. The compact SUV cannot get rid of the technological limits posed by a dated platform, but it still manages to get the most out without impacting its conduct. If there is somewhat lacking in character, the Avenger still ensures the essentials, that is to say a fairly “clean” behavior, a certain comfort of driving and above all a boil which allow it to make someone forget Other faults like its recharge at 100 kW. If he was really an avenger, the jeep would be … Hawkeye. Reliable, effective, not very surprising … but to save the planet, we will bet more on Hulk.

We tried the Jeep Avenger, the electric car of the year which does not disappoint (almost)

That’s it, Jeep starts in turn on the electric market, and it is with the Avenger that the offensive begins. Has this urban SUV has real arguments to argue ? The answer in our test of this new electric car, cousin of the Peugeot E-2008 and Opel Mokka Electric.

Our full opinion
Jeep Avenger

July 15, 2023 07/15/2023 • 14:01

In the collective imagination, the jeep, it is often the landing car in Normandy. Others associate this name like a large 4 × 4 leaving thick scrolls of black smoke behind him. However, the American manufacturer is evolving, pushed in this by the increasingly restrictive regulations. The arrival of rechargeable hybrid engines under the hood of several models was a notable first evolution. But in Europe, where the sale of thermal cars will be prohibited from 2035, that was not enough.

It is with the Avenger that the firm continues its moult. This model puts on the historic role of the first electric jeep in history. Suffice to say that it was expected of firm foot. For the moment, everything is going well: the reactions are enthusiastic, and the Avenger has even won the car title of the year, which incidentally constitutes another first for Jeep.

But, in the automobile as elsewhere, media noise does not always guarantee success. Without intrinsic qualities, the bellows often ends up falling. Does the Avenger have the means to transform its good beginnings into a commercial triumph ? To find out, we took the wheel a day after trying it at the start of the year, on a circuit, to make a first opinion.

This test was carried out as part of a press trip organized by the brand.

Design: a compact jeep Avenger SUV

CAPLENER with 7 slots, trapezoidal wheel arches, cubic silhouette and ubiquitous plastic protections: everything was done to make the Avenger in perfect harmony with the identity of the brand. The result should overall be unanimous: the lines are balanced and the car is not lacking in personality. With this 4 × 4 pocket look, the Avenger brings something new to the urban SUV segment.

A meticulous observation of the car reveals several funny details, such as a small ladybug hidden on a roof bar, a boy scrutinizing the stars at the base of the windshield, or even reproductions of the grille scattered in various places. The two -color painting provides a touch of elegance to the car, but it is not offered on the whole range.

Jeep Avenger (1)

Jeep Avenger (10)

Jeep Avenger (11)

The Jeep spirit is found on board the vehicle, with a very horizontal and unbemated dashboard. The finish alternates the good and the least good: the assemblies seem correct, but everything is done in a very basic hard plastic. The whole nevertheless seems solid. The storage in the central console is particularly large. It is protected by a closure rather similar to an iPad cover.

The yellow -colored headband crosses the dashboard is a privilege reserved for the high Summit finish. It is metallic gray or completely black on the lower nivals. In the second case, the cabin suddenly becomes much sadder.

Habitability: a compact SUV … Always Jeep Avenger

The Jeep Avenger offers satisfactory habitability for a vehicle from its size. An adult of 1m80 sitting on the bench will have a sufficient place to fit his legs. The width in the elbows is correct, but the place of the environment, narrower and cluttered with a transmission tunnel, remains to be avoided. Too bad also that Jeep did not put a storage container in the counter-door.

The chest volume reaches 435 liters (1250 liters once the bench folded). A completely correct value with regard to the dimensions. The double-round with height adjustable floor offers a fully found place for the charging cable. But as the electric motorized tailgate, it is not delivered as standard on all the finishes.

Info-Diverse: Correct Jeep Avenger

Whatever the finish chosen, the Avenger has a central touch screen of 10.25 inch. Jeep Uconnect multimedia system is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. The duplication of the screen can be wireless, directly via Bluetooth and WiFi. A good thing, which will make it possible in particular to compensate for the absence of a native route planner on the car. A digital instrumentation block takes place behind the steering wheel. Its dimensions vary depending on the finish level: 7 inch on the entry level, the diagonal goes to 10.25 inches on the other versions.

In use, the Avenger multimedia system has the faults of its qualities. Easy to hand and intuitive, he will satisfy motorists in search of simplicity. On the other hand, technology enthusiasts will be disappointed: the definition of the screen is not exceptional and the features are not very numerous. The navigation system and the reversing camera, which has a little tendency to pixelash, do not do very modern either. The reactivity of the touch screen is correct, nothing more.

As on a smartphone, the interface works with configurable widgets. The user can therefore adjust the screen display as he pleases, within the limits of vehicle technology (12 widgets per page and 6 pages maximum). It is also possible to change the color lighting color, via a system of the system.

Jeep Avenger

Overall, the UConnect system does not really impress, but to say that it is outdated would be a bit excessive. It must be kept in mind that we have a small car there, which is not intended to receive advanced equipment. In addition, Jeep had the good idea not to give the screen a too important role, maintaining physical buttons on the central console. The motorist can easily make the settings of the ventilation system, without going through the touch slab.

Storage between the front seats houses an induction charger for smartphone, as well as two USB sockets. Rear passengers can also have their own USB socket. Be careful, however, only the front USB sockets are delivered as standard on all the finishes.

Driving aid: semi-autonomous driving Jeep Avenger

Line crossing alert with automatic trajectory correction, recognition of traffic signs, dead angles detector, adaptive cruise control: Jeep Avenger has all driving aids that have become essential on a modern car. It can also have a level 2 semi-autonomous driving system, which manages the speed and maintains the vehicle in the center of the track. Some of this equipment nevertheless require an additional or is outright unavailable on the low finishes.

Jeep Avenger

The profile of the course we borrowed did not allow us to really gauge the effectiveness of semi-autonomous driving, nor that of adaptive cruise control. On the other hand, we had the opportunity to test the line crossing alert, and the latter sometimes seemed to us a little capricious. When the ground marking is not clear, it happens not to trigger.

Jeep has made its reputation with all-terrain vehicles. Also, so that the Avenger is capable of craphiter off the beaten track, the manufacturer has equipped it with special conduits modes, which improve grip on sliding soil. The small electric SUV also receives aid with active descent, also designed for difficult paths. It keeps the car at 8-9 km/h stewed, without the driver touching the accelerator or brake. In practice, this aid works well and can, in certain specific circumstances, be of service.

Despite these efforts, the Avenger will always prefer the paved roads with steep trails. The absence of all-wheel drive will soon limit the hints of the driver in all-terrain. Note, however, that a 4 -wheel drive version will arrive will be marketed later, but it is not certain that it is also entirely electric.

Driving: a Peugeot E-2008, or almost Jeep Avenger

Jeep now gravitating in the Stellantis galaxy, the Avenger recovers the Electric Peugeot E-CMP platform, which are also OPEL, DS and Citroën vehicles. This technical base caused a 50 kWh nets battery and a 136 hp engine. Following several developments, from which the Jeep Avenger benefit, the battery has seen its capacity increase to 54 kWh, and the engine now displays a power of 156 hp. This is the configuration that we find on the restyled Peugeot E-2008 that we have been able to try recently.

Despite a high weight, the Avenger shows real liveliness. Accelerations and reminders are more than satisfactory, in town, but also on the secondary network. The lightness of the direction facilitates handling and makes driving less trying. The low turning radius (10.5 meters) and the correct vision at the rear also confirm the good predispositions of the Avenger in the city.

Jeep Avenger Essay

Road behavior does not reserve unpleasant surprises and is secure. Jeep engineers obviously have to favor comfort. The result is convincing: the Avenger absorbs the roughness of bitumen and donkey backs, without showing excessive flexibility. Admittedly, he can sometimes show a somewhat clumsy and under-sistering character, but it must be pushed in his entrenchments. In normal driving, no one will plague against an excessive laziness of rolling trains. Braking, effective and easy to dose, gives complete satisfaction.

The choice of driving mode has a direct impact on the power delivered by the motorization. With its 80 hp, the Eco mode cuts the wings of the car a little, even if it is enough in town. The normal mode, which increases the power to 110 hp, is suitable in most situations. Sport mode is the only one that allows you to have full power. If he makes driving more alive, he also leads to a drop in autonomy.

Autonomy, recharge and consumption Jeep Avenger

With its 54 kWh battery (51 kWh useful), the Avenger promises theoretical autonomy between 389 and 404 km in the mixed WLTP cycle depending on the equipment. For recharging on a public or Wallbox, it has an 11 kW on -board charger, which allows you to fill up on electrons in approximately 5.5 hours. The vehicle can also be connected to a quick continuous current terminal. He then accepts a maximum power of 100 kW and can thus go from 20 to 80 % in 24 minutes, and approximately 30 minutes for the 10 to 80 %.

An electric car with 400 km autonomy and rapid recharging is totally capable of crossing France, as we have already proven on a Paris – Marseille route.

As on all electric cars, “real” consumption is often greater than that measured in WLTP cycle. Stellantis technology is not necessarily the most efficient on the market, we feared a poor performance of the Avenger in this area. In terms of assessments, we must recognize that our fears did not have to be. By having a light foot and on a rather favorable course, we have limited consumption within 14 kWh / 100 km, which would make it in theory 370 km with a load.

By adopting a more dynamic driving, the consumption of our Avenger has stabilized around 16 kWh per 100 km. A reasonable value, which would have been inevitably higher with portions on quick tracks. Unfortunately, the journey imagined by Jeep for our test was confined to the secondary network.

For information, Jeep announces WLTP consumption between 15.3 and 15.9 kWh / 100 km. This consumption takes into account energy losses linked to recharge.

Price, competition and availability Jeep Avenger

It is time to approach the question of the price, which is not frankly the first asset of the Avenger… After having undergone an increase of 2,500 euros in early May 2023, the electric SUV prices are now starting at 39,000 euros out of bonus ! For a copy in Summit finish like the one who was entrusted to us, the invoice increases to 43,500 euros. It’s frankly a lot for a barely 4 meter long car ..

Admittedly, we can put into perspective by looking at the prices charged by the other brands of the Stellantis group. The Peugeot E-2008 and the DS 3 E-Tense with the same engine / battery set starts at 41,600 and 41,700 euros respectively. The electric Opel Mokka, which must be satisfied with a slightly more dated engine for some time, is sold even more expensive (from 42,000 euros).

But for more or less 40,000 euros, there are models a notch above in terms of presentation and / or engines. Let us quote for example the smart #1, sold from 40,315 euros and much more premium than the jeep. One can also think of the Skoda Eyaq: although it boxes in a higher category (+ 65 cm in length), it costs “only” 990 euros more in basic finish.

Renault Megane E-Tech

You can also cite the Renault Mégane E-Tech, which starts from 37,000 euros with the small battery and 42,000 euros in a large autonomy version. How not to approach the Tesla Model 3, available from 41,990 euros, with an unbeatable quality / price ratio, with its 510 km autonomy and its extraordinary performance.

The Jeep Avenger will also be offered with thermal engines, but only on certain markets. In France, the electric version is accompanied by a petrol version. A four -wheel drive model will arrive in reinforcement in the course of next year. At this point, Jeep does not wish to give details on the nature of the motorization. It is therefore impossible to know if this Avenger will be electric or rechargeable hybrid.
