There are bigger and more practical small SUVs around, but if rear seat space isn’t a priority, the Jeep Avenger’s sensible price tag and smart interior make it an appealing choice. The lower trim levels represent the best value, while the e-Hybrid is a well-rounded option.
Mid-rung Altitude trim gets you a slightly smarter interior (with additional silver trim finishers), a faux-leather steering wheel, bigger (17in) alloys, adaptive cruise control and climate control.
A 154bhp electric motor drives the front wheels and delivers respectable (if not exceptional) acceleration. Officially, the Avenger can do around 250 miles on a charge (it varies slightly depending on trim level).
