The Jeep Avenger is that rare thing; an instantly appealing package. It’s probably for that reason it’s been named European Car of the Year 2023, something proudly proclaimed with a sticker on the rear screen.
It’s all the more remarkable because the Avenger shares so much of its underpinnings with its half-siblings in the vast Stellantis group, most of which have been out for a while – ie Peugeot e-2008, Citroen e-C4, DS 3 E-Tense, Vauxhall Mokka Electric and Fiat 600. Also worthy of the attention of the small electric SUV buyer are the new Smart #1 and forthcoming Volvo EX30.
