Is Jeep’s first EV the perfect partner for your low-emissions adventures? We put it to the test

The Jeep Avenger won ‘Best Family SUV’ and ‘European Car of the Year’, but does the the iconic car maker’s first all-electric offering live up to the hype? We took it to Tasmania for a week to find out.

Not all EVs are created equal. Some of them are incredibly expensive. Some of them look a bit horrible. And some of them (you know the ones) are the brainchild of problematic billionaires. The brand-new Jeep Avenger—Jeep’s first foray into the EV market, would you believe it—is none of those things. So we put it through its paces on a week-long road trip through Tasmania. 

If you’re reading this, it’s very likely you’re looking for a little more from your car than the average EV fanatic. You care about the planet, of course. And you’re probably pretty prone to a weekend (or weekday) dabble in the great outdoors. You need a bit of space for your camping/kayaking/hiking gear, but you don’t want a tank you have to lug around town. You probably don’t own an EV (yet!) because you’ve been waiting for the right car to come along. 

For you, the Jeep Avenger may present an interesting opportunity.
