Jeep begins an important year on the right foot for this North American brand, from Stellantis, which presents one of its most European products. And it does so by achieving for the first time one of the most important awards in our continent, the Car of the Year 2023, an award prior to the commercialization of the new Jeep Avenger of which we knew prices in recent days.
The Jeep Avenger lands in dealerships from €21,800, an acceptable price, in these times, for a very compact SUV that comes with electric motors, but also gasoline. With this price, it would be positioned as Jeep’s most accessible SUV, in a bet that was aimed above all at having an electric and urban model, which will be how it will be marketed in many European markets, but luckily it will also have an alternative gasoline for markets such as Spain.
The first great success of the new Jeep SUV
As we said, the Jeep Avenger has won the Car of the Year 2023 award. It is true that in a market so crowded with models, the car of the year awards have long ceased to have any real commercial weight and promote sales of a product. But it is important when it comes to an award in which 61 journalists, from 23 European countries, with a representation weighted to the size of each market, is the one who chooses the winner.
His rivals and finalists for the Car of the Year 2023, ordered by their score, have been the following:
- Jeep Avenger: 328 points and 21 votes for the best car of the year
- Volkswagen ID.BUZZ: 241 points and 16 votes for the best car of the year
- Nissan Ariya: 211 points
- Kia Niro: 200 points
- Renault Austral: 163 points
- Peugeot 408: 149 points
- Subaru Solterra and Toyota bz4X: 133 points
An SUV available from €21,800
To this day the Cheapest Jeep Renegade starts at €27,450 and it was Jeep’s most accessible SUV to date. With the Jeep Avenger from €21,800in its version with a 100 hp gasoline engine, Jeep opens up to a much broader market, being a shorter vehicle than a SEAT Arona starting at €17,600but with a good trunk, and a price between this model and the SEAT Ateca that starts from €24,540.
The Jeep Avenger will have 5 trim lines and, as we said, mechanical configuration for gasoline and 100 CV, and electric also with 100 CV, without the possibility of all-wheel drive configurations:
| Gasoline: 100 HP | Electric: 100 HP | |
|---|---|---|
| avenger | €21,800 | €35,100 |
| length | €23:300 | €36,600 |
| Limited | €25,300 | €38,600 |
