Car review

Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid evaluate

The e-Hybrid’s engine seems slightly measly on paper, and with a 0-62mph dash of 10.9sec, it received’t be successful any dash races any time quickly. But it is torquey off the road, bolstered by an E-Boost function that provides 40lb ft of torque for an additional push in acceleration. 

It additionally feels gutsier than the figures recommend within the mid-range. Indeed, Jeep says the e-Hybrid provides 30% sooner acceleration between 30-60mph than the guide petrol Avenger.

This is felt once you’re travelling on sooner B-roads and motorways. However, the gearbox can disappoint, not shifting up or down once you want it to.

Things can sound fairly gruff once you put your foot down too, which is not excellent when the Avenger Electric provides near-silent serenity.

The e-Hybrid can drive for as much as 1km (0.6 miles) on electrical energy alone, which is greater than most delicate hybrids however a good distance wanting a superb full hybrid system like Toyota’s.

Still, it is available in helpful once you’re manoeuvring or driving round city, and it’s right here the place the e-Hybrid excels, providing a refined and quiet driving expertise when taking off from a set of lights or trundling via visitors.

If you’ll use your Avenger Electric primarily on the town, the cheaper e-Hybrid would make an acceptable different.

We’re but to pattern the guide petrol, however this evaluate shall be up to date as quickly as we get our fingers on one.
