Jeep Avenger (2023 – present) | Expert Rating

Summary

The Jeep Avenger is a compact five-door SUV designed with the European market in mind. This compact petrol family car hit UK roads towards the end of 2023, following the all-electric version that arrived six months earlier.

The smallest option in Jeep’s line-up, this new electric SUV shares its foundations with the Peugeot 2008 and Vauxhall Mokka. However, the Avenger is more compact – at just over four metres long, the SUV is around the same length as a Volkswagen Polo.

The small SUV has been given a commendable set of review scores from the British motoring media, ranging from above average to good, with reviewers highlighting the Avenger’s off-road ability, smart styling and on-road comfort.

“The petrol Avenger might not set the world on fire”, comments Parker’s Luke Wilkinson, “but it’s decent enough to drive and quite efficient – even if you do sacrifice a lot of space in the back over an equivalent Skoda Kamiq.”

The Carbuyer team adds that these petrol and mild-hybrid versions of the Avenger have a “significantly lower starting price” than the electric version, with the caveat that petrol models have “higher running costs than the EV.”

As of October 2025, the Jeep Avenger holds a New Car Expert Rating of D, with a score of 59%.

“The Jeep Avenger is a great little city car with funky baby 4×4 styling, but it’s pretty cramped in the back seats and the boot is quite small.”

“Whether you choose the Jeep Avenger in petrol or all-electric forms, you’ll get an enticing small SUV with hidden depths beyond its attractive exterior. We’ve no doubt that a few examples of Jeep’s little bundle of joy will be sold based solely on how it looks, but the Avenger boasts much better tech than any of the brand’s previous offerings we’ve tested so far.”

“The Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid is, in effect, an automatic version of the petrol car with a sprinkling of electric tech thrown in for good measure. We wouldn’t choose it for its powertrain alone – the differences aren’t significant enough to warrant its maker’s claims as an “access point” to electrification – but if you want a small automatic SUV, this is a good one.”

“This limited-edition Altitude+ model has the added bonus of a lengthy kit list. But no matter what fuel the Avenger is running on, it still suffers from limited rear-cabin space and an interior dominated by hard plastics.”

“The Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid not only broadens the Avenger’s appeal, but it also turns out to be the choice of the line-up. It’s an appealing, smart-looking, good-to-drive crossover that doesn’t even cost that much to buy.”

“The Jeep Avenger may have a lot in common with the Peugeot 2008, DS3 Crossback and Vauxhall Mokka, but if you’re smitten with the idea of authenticity, attitude and off-road pedigree, then that Jeep badge and chunky rock-buster styling may just sway you.”

“The Jeep Avenger range might not set the world on fire, but it’s a competent, often interesting car regardless of what powertrain you go for. The manual petrol is our favourite to drive, but it’s the eHybrid that brings practicality with a small dash of agility and dynamism. The only catch? Its front-wheel-drive layout doesn’t feel very Jeep to us.”

“Jeep’s first SUV designed for Europe is practical and good to drive, with a distinctive character that’s sorely lacking in some of its rivals. The petrol and mild-hybrid versions have a significantly lower starting price but higher running costs than the EV.”

“The third version of Jeep’s little SUV is, we think, the best. The advanced mild-hybrid system gives it impressive efficiency, especially around town, and at a considerably lower price than the full-electric version. If you’re after something stylish and small for urban runabouts, it’s well worth a look, and it’s happy on longer motorway journeys, too.”

“A car designed to work reasonably well on moderate off-road trails ends up working really well in its precise opposite. The 4xe attempts to claw some of that rufty tuftiness back, but this is a car better suited to town than hardcore off-roading.”

The Jeep Avenger range was awarded a three-star Euro NCAP safety rating in September 2024, with a lower-than-average score for vulnerable road users and safety assistance tech. Keep in mind that safety tests were conducted on the heavier Avenger Electric, and not the pure petrol and mild-hybrid ‘e-Hybrid’ versions.

The Jeep Avenger is a relatively affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

While the average fuel consumption of 50mpg is rather ordinary, particularly for a car of this size, the Avenger’s estimated servicing and maintenance costs over the course of the first five years of ownership are cheaper than the average new car, totalling a predicted £4k of costs over that period.

That said our estimates suggest that the Jeep Avenger Electric is cosiderably cheaper to run and maintain.

Warranty on a used Jeep Avenger

If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Jeep Avenger from an official Jeep dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
If you are buying a used Jeep Avenger from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
If you are buying a used Jeep Avenger from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
