CAR magazine UK drives the mild hybrid version of Jeep's Avenger, with pictures, specs and review verdict
And then there were three. Jeep’s Avenger range kicked off with the highly-acclaimed Avenger EV, followed by an ICE-only model, and now there’s the eHybrid – a mild-hybrid that sits somewhere in between the two. The third pillar to the Avenger range promises to deliver some of the eco-credentials of a fully-electric car, with all the practicality of a conventional ICE-powered car.
At 1280kg, the eHybrid isn’t much heavier than the standard car with Stellantis saying there’s just a 60kg increase over a conventional manual ‘box. Stellantis says the motor improves consumption by 20% and brings the fuel economy to 57.6 mpg.Somewhere in between the petrol and the EV – so exactly how you’d expect. In Normal and Eco modes, it’ll prefer to use EV power only in town, so it’s super refined in slow-moving traffic. And it’ll often turn off the engine when going downhill too.
Space at the front is fine, but those in the second row will feel pretty cramped and can often find themselves accidentally providing rear lumbar support for the front passengers. Sitting behind myself would’ve seen my knees either side of my spinal column.
