The Avenger is no longer just the first electric Jeep, it is also the first model from the brand to earn the prestigious title of Car of the Year.
Once held in Geneva, the traditional COTY ceremony took place this year at the Brussels Motor Show. Following this event, the organization revealed the identity of the new Car of the Year. As a reminder, 7 models were still in the running out of the 27 initially entered: the Nissan Ariya, the Jeep Avenger, the Peugeot 408, the Renault Austral, the Kia Niro, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, and the Toyota bZ4x. Ultimately, the Jeep Avenger took the victory with a total of 328 points.
This title of Car of the Year 2023 adds an even more symbolic dimension to the Avenger. In addition to being the first electric Jeep, it becomes the brand’s first model to be named Car of the Year in Europe. To make things even better, the other finalists finished quite far behind. In short, it’s a great coup for Jeep and Stellantis, who developed this model based on a largely proven technical platform. And as luck would have it, this award comes just a few days after the opening of orders.
A 100% Electric Podium
The podium is completed by the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and the Nissan Ariya, both featuring electric propulsion. French manufacturers have no regrets, as their models are clearly distanced. Indeed, the Renault Austral and the Peugeot 408 finished fifth and sixth respectively.
