As soon as he said "this one is £40 grand" I stopped watching - that price is in pure lunacy-land.

Although a bit technical, would appreciate battery chemistry and heat pump info be included in Fully Charged reviews.

I'm looking to change my Renault Captur & go EV in the next few months & so far, this is top of my list as gone are my days of needing a big family car.
I like Jacks reviews as i'm a tall bugger like him so I get a real life idea of interior size & headroom.

For normal people, 5miles/kwh is 12kwh/100km.

I'm glad to see some companies are not jumping into the touchscreen-for-everything train and are instead keeping actual physical buttons for essential controls.

[antipode]

You tell it Jack. I've got a 2020 Kia Niro EV, and there's NO WAY to turn off Lane Keep Assist other than turning off the cruise control. I love my car, I love Adaptive Cruise Control, but the two features on my car that makes it considerably worse are Lane Keep Assist and the backup alert sound, which on my year / model is unreasonably loud.

In addition to 1-pedal driving - we should also be able to coast when we lift our right foot. This is the most efficient - think how we ride a bicycle. Regen is great - for when we *need* to slow down. But much of the time, coasting is better - because you accelerate less and using the moving mass of the vehicle - to move the car forward - is the most efficient way to do that.

Soo...it just needs to be £22, 000....and it would be fantastic....!!

In the Netherlands I just bought the Avenger Summit for 44k euro/ 37k GBP (incl. VAT) and we love it in stone grey metallic, with electric/heated leather front seats and other luxuries.

[ragingsilver]

Aren't all those brands known for not great reliability? lol Saying that though, I like the looks of the car and the fact it's small and electric is good!

[kevinallibone]

100% agree with your lane assist rant. I drive a 2009 Mini Cooper which I hope to replace soon with an electric car but I’m dreading the enforced tyranny of the lane assist system. Surely Euro NCAP should rethink its stance when most drivers turn it off every time they get in their car.

[The_Hero_Is_Back]

Let’s shop around. Hyundai Kona electric from £35k. Renault Zoe from £30k. Citroen e-C3 will be under £25k. Jeep are trading on the name.

[kelvinfaulkner]

I think you should always start with the price so, for those of us who are not able to even consider the expensive vehicles, we can decide right away whether it's worth watching.

[bernardfender]

It's a Jeep! No. 40k? NO NO NO.
As for car of the year... How much did they pay for that😅😅😅

[ShortVersion]

I had a Jeep Renegade when we first got an EV, and honestly I just want Stellantis to go bankrupt. Their service/dealership system is so toxic, in the states at least. You've got to think... these are the same people who have been flooding the world with mediocre 4-door wranglers and haunting us with trashy chargers and challengers for decades.

[Harrythehun]

Far too expensive! No additional value over the competition. Will sell some to enthusiasts but the rest of us will not buy it.

[adinitu]

Guys... You are being watched all over the world. Please put in also the metric system values when talking about distance, range etc. We, the rest of the world, would highly appreciate this. Thx

[stoapfalzrunden]

Thx Jack, good to know its not an Opel/Vauxhall problem with the lane keep assist, its a stellantis problem. Or a general problem. Funny thing is every car has different problems with LKA. While our Mokka E tries to murder us on streets without road boundary marks the MG4 wants to murder me if there are too many lines like in highway construction sites. So first thing my wife and i do after starting the car: deactivate that piece of ... murdertech. Sidenote: thats a point for Vauxhall/Opel because i can deactivate it with a BUTTON! YES! Praise them for the button! (After curse them for the "feature")

[Grizzold-HP]

Thanks for the fun item.
We used to own many "jeeps", different sizes and forms, like Landcruiser, but also a small fun Suzuki LJ80 and even several VW 181.
But they never ever looked like some boring SUV.
Avenger will start at €38.500. Not impressive at all, but expansive.
We have good hopes for the Citroen eC3, situated in the B-class.
It will cost around €24.000 and have a 320-km range and 100kW fast charging. THAT is impressive, AND affordable.

The styling is genius. I didn’t realize how small it is until he is standing next to it, being 6’ 4” (?)
