Really appreciate the comparisons to the E-2008!
wao what a beautiful car , how lucky and blessed are those who drive this
Basically the same car I have (an e208) with a chunky body. Stellantis are really stretching out this platform seeing there will be nearly 10 different cars out based on the same thing. Will be expensive like the e208 though.

I don't understand why car manufacturers still offer decals as a payable extra. If I was to buy a Jeep Avenger with out the decals because I had to pay extra for them, I would simply say thanks, take the Avenger and go to a shop that prints decals and give them a picture showing the decal on the car and get them to make the decals for me at a far better price
It's a tall hatchback, and I would buy one if they brought it to the US. But I'm told I'm slightly out of step with the "average" US buyer

I really hate that theyre deciding what thr US does and doesnt get. I dont want a huge truck or jacked up wrangler. I own a 2003 TJ wranger, its small and super capable but if they sold it nowadays it would only be sold in europe. Thats insane.
Great review as always, but I would add that as a father of an 11 year old the back seats look almost pointless being as my sons knees would not be at the edge of the seat, so his legs would be more straight with his feet being like pushed against the back of the drivers seat, not comfortable for him or myself. You’d think the manufacturers would give the space a bit more thought when aiming the vehicle at smaller families.
Bring it to the U.S. I would buy this little beauty in the Metallic Yellow in a heartbeat!
Far too expensive for a small SUV and the depreciation after 2-3 years will be brutal!
I love it, it's really good
I must admit I personally like it ... 👌

But it looks smaller on inside even than ioniq 5.. specially for space on rear seats.. and ioniq 5 can be spec with dual-motor (like 4x4 AWD and still have 340 miles of range between re-charges)..
Really disappointed they aren't bringing this to the US :(

Does it lauch in India
Great looking car. 99,9% of the time i don't drive offroad so who cares really about this not having 4x4. And if you do, next year your wishes will be fulfilled.
Cracking looking small Jeep...but at that price ? No way !

So lots of neg comments I see. What's better at this size? Mini/i3/honda e have no range. Fiat 500 v small in back and feels cheap. ID3 even more expensive and rather large. For a 2nd car company car this looks good if the leases reasonable....
Looking forward to this, then he said fully electric…….and I switched off!
Soo they made a small Renegade and made it electric ... the Renegade and Compass are plug hybrids. Whats the point of this car ?
Jeep / Dodhe / Stelantis sales are down because Jeep has walked away from their traditional and formerly loyal customers while charging inflated prices for inferior products (Compass, Renegade, Hornet etc.)
Hip room? No AWD?
Where the heck are most of us supposed to find £35k for a very average small electric car? By the way many of us do NOT want to use our phone for navigation and expect it built into the car. if the Volkswagen ID2 really is going to be £22k I wouldnt go near this

I have nav built in, the maps are over 6 years out of date and it costs 100 USD to buy the upgraded maps AND I have to install them myself. Or I can use my phones native mapping software (in this case, Google) which not only keeps up with changes to roadways but also tells me when traffic is slow, roads are temporarily closed and is able to route me different ways based on construction or current traffic patterns for the most time and fuel efficient ride. So a 30 USD phone stand or 100 USD maps that will be out of date in a few years and can't tell me traffic patterns?
Bring some competition to all the other ev’s in America
Neat EV I guess, but the best Jeep ever was the WJ
Thanks, you made up my mind….a no. I enjoyed the 2ltr Renegade but this has nothing going for it.
I think its excellent.
Magical video.
Nice little car!! Pity about the inability to convert it into a small camper!! My current car is a Renault Zoe.

If you think as an up-grade you have better options because this looks smaller on inside even than ioniq 5.. specially for space on rear seats so that say allot if you want decent room for 4 adults in the car.. and ioniq 5 can be spec with dual-motor (like 4x4 AWD and still have 340 miles of range between re-charges).. if you plan going off-road just add some off-road wheels and raise the shocks a bit and ioniq will go in plenty off-roads places that would put to shame plenty regular small off-road vehicles, i have seen plenty owners doing off-road conversions to ioniq 5 +a roof-rack for extra gear and went off-roading..
A Jeep in name only

Good you can get a petrol, just sad no real handbrake.
that's a Fiat not a Jeep. A Jeep has 4x4, low gears, ladder frame chassis, front and rear solid axels, proper tyres sizes for offroad, etc.
Seriously? this isn't AWD?

Electric cars are for city ruining.. and a small car is necessary for running around in European cities which are thousands of years old with very narrow cobble stoned roads. This car is ideal.
French made Renegade's younger brother?
I think the BYD Atto3 has the Avenger beaten for spec at similar prices (UK models). Admittably the Atto 3 has a bit of a mad interior but it has the larger / longer range & safer LFP battery, heat pump & Panoramic roof as standard in what is a slightly larger car with more interior & boot space. That said I still find these EV cars far too expensive.
I’ll wait for the petrol version

This car will only ever carry children in the back so the need to cater for six footers is irrelevant! Hard plastics are never mentioned when you review VW products but then that’s WhatCars VW bias on show…

It is because Jeep need a EV and needs it "FAST" to be in compliance with both the US & EU mandate.
0:12 Wrong. The petrol versions have been available from day 1 and have outsold the EV by 86% to 13%!!! What Car motoring 'journalists' could at least do a tiny bit of research. The petrol version is even coming here before Xmas.
Buy a Kia Sportage S line PHEV. same price better spec and you don`t have the range anxiety of only doing a 100 mile trip and wondering if you will make it back. It looks nice and that`s about it.
Not very cheap with this small size.
I had a new Grand Cherokee overland in 2004…what a car…it went on the dunes and beach, up to the ski resorts in France and towed a 3.5 ton boat and also one of the most comfortable cars I’ve ever had…This is nothing like it…what a let down!

Lol is that a Fiat ?
Hang on a minute. What do you mean 'the not very good Renegade'?? And before you all start with the, its really a Fiat 500. Well it isnt. Nothing else lookss like one and nothing else punches above it weight off road, like a Limited or Trailhawk. So back off and leave the very, very popular Renegade alone....
That power button sounds awful, needing to live with that every time you get into the car and want to drive away sounds awful. That really made me not wanting this car anymore :/
People buzzing on about reliability, probably need to give electric cars a chance. Most of the batteries seem to be similarly sourced and engineered. The software, design, and packaging are probably the biggest differences. And the charging...
Overpriced by about £10,000 IMHO

So much plastic inside and out. Jeep is an American brand but this car will not be sold in America?? Probably because if they did the internet would explode from the laughter
The poshest reviewer ever, yah.
The shape of it looks just as boring as all the rest of its competitors in the marketplace. Putting 'Jeep' on an ordinary looking boring car ain't going to lift it out of the mundane.
Front wheel drive only?!?! What a joke!
This car is undoubtedly a waste of precious resources. It should just be sold in Asian markets. I wish you didn't have to consume valuable time and effort as it iis clear that 'jeep' doesn't care about what it's name represent
Its not a Jeep.
SLOW. HEAVY. EXPENSIVE.
