The European Car of the Year is Jeep's first electric car, the Avenger

Jeep Avenger was recognized as the European Car of the Year 2023. This is Jeep's first European Car of the Year title.

The Avenger compact crossover is Jeep's first electric model. 21 judges ranked it first with 328 points. Leaving Volkswagen ID in second place. Buzz (241 points), and in third – Nissan Ariya (211 points). This is the first European Car of the Year title for Jeep.

Jeep is part of Stellantis groups and therefore the goal is to offer only electric models in Europe from 2030. The Avenger is Jeep's first electric car, bringing the automaker closer to that goal. It is the most compact in the Jeep model range and is produced in Poland. Nevertheless, Jeep says , that the Avenger offers “no-compromise” off-road capabilities and a range of 400+ km on a single charge (550 km urban).

Although Autobrava, the only representative of Jeep in Latvia, has not yet announced the price of this model, we can look at the homepage of Lithuanian "Autobrava" and find out that the Jeep Avenger costs from €41. If you believe the reviews, the base Jeep is well packed. At least the Fully Charged Show review was very flattering for this model.
