Jeep crowned prettiest baby

The brand-new, fully electric Jeep Avenger was named the UK’s best compact car in 2023.

Jules Tilstone, Managing Director, Jeep UK, commented: “We are delighted to see the Avenger’s exceptional customer offering in the compact car sector being recognised. The Avenger is rich with Jeep DNA, now in compact form with no compromise on interior spaciousness. We are charging forward with the next generation of electrified Jeep vehicles, and the Avenger is at the forefront of this exciting new chapter.”

The new Avenger is an allelectric compact SUV that, at just four metres in length, is positioned in the rapidly growing B-SUV segment. Jeep says it’s aimed at active people who are looking for an SUV with compact dimensions: the Avenger offers plenty of room and storage possibilities. Jeep adds that the Avenger was designed and built as a Jeep vehicle from day one and that the Avenger packs the Jeep DNA into a compact SUV with a unique combination of capability, style, functionality and technology.

With a range of up to 400 km, a new electric powertrain combines a 400-volt electric motor with 115 kilowatts, 260 Nm of maximum torque and a new 54 kWh battery. The introduction of the Avenger in Europe marks the beginning of the next phase of the electrification of the Jeep brand – the BEV wave. By the end of 2030, the Jeep brand’s European sales will be 100% pure electric. It is currently unknown if the all-electric Avenger will come to our shores, but it’s a possibility given growing local demand.
