Stellantis' best small SUV? Jeep Avenger 1.2-litre petrol review

[@johncallahan118]

Hi ! Great review, as always. 😄 The fact that Stellantis (former Peugeot-Citroen PSA) don’t move the glovebox for RHD vehicles is probably only to save money. They have done their cars like this for more than 15 years so multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of cars sold in that period, it’s a lot of money savings.

Yep! Stellantis in trouble they’re hoping a Chinese takeover will save them.

it really looks good in red, i'm impressed. the gearknob also looks very sporty - i'm glad Jeep's also giving a manual option. i'd get it just like this if I was considering

[@kurprodakshn]

You forgot to warn potential buyers that it has puretech engine with wet belt.

[@DarylMoonsamy]

Why is the Avenger not available in South Africa?

[@Agustinnndombur]

1.2 petrol? aka puretech?

[@jrs9264]

Rebecca is going bananas again! 🤣 Actually, it's better than the smaller jeep sold in the states. usa chicken tax prevents importing it across the pond. 💰🤑😤💯🙄

[@Geshmaal]

So this has the 1.2 Puretech engine known for blowing up?

[@HIvanH91]

'they're had to use the same parts as Peugeot, Vauxhall, Citroen and Alfa Romeo...' ... As if the reliability (or lack of) of the Jeep brand didn't ring alarm bells already...

[@Dre-n7s]

I'm considering getting a jeep avenger, any comments, does anyone hv. One

100 bhp from a 1.2 turbo is pathetic imagine if it had no turbo 75 bhp ? needs about 120 bhp

[@mirkozlikovski9553]

Why? It weighs 1100 kg and has 205 Nm of torque... 1.4 l, 100 hp Vauxhall Astra 10 years ago had almost 200kg more with only 130 Nm of torque, and nobody complained that it "can't overtake a tractor"! And 1.6l version was not much better with its 115 hp and 155 Nm of torque...

[@dontpanicblink]

@@mirkozlikovski9553 what do you mean nobody complained , many you tube videos said the astra was underpowered , its now 2024 100hp from a 1.2 turbo is not enough

[@mirkozlikovski9553]

@@dontpanicblink ​ @dontpanicblink Why exactly it wouldn't be enough? The car is not particularly heavy, and its engine has more torque (which is what actually moves the car), than many C segment models just a few years ago (like 1.4 125hp Golf or 1.6l 125hp 308 ...), that were all at least 100kg heavier.... What changed in last 5 - 8 years, that 100 hp with 205 Nm of torque is not enough to power a small, B segment urban SUV, when practically "yesterday" the "golden standard" of B segment motorization was "85 - 90 hp and 130 Nm" ? Did human race excessively gain weight or something?
