Jeep Avenger review - Boot space, practicality & boot dimensions

“Despite being the smallest Jeep on sale, the Avenger is surprisingly practical”

4.5 out of 5

Being the smallest model in the Jeep range and measuring 216mm shorter than the equivalent Peugeot E-2008, you’d expect the Avenger to offer very little in terms of passenger and cargo space. However, thanks to some clever packaging, this is not the case.

Unlike some small SUVs which struggle to carry four adults in comfort, the Avenger can do so as long as its front occupants aren’t too tall. Headroom is especially generous for a crossover, even for adults over six-feet tall, but rear legroom does get a bit tight if the front seats are slid rearwards. Jeep has also managed to cram 34 litres of storage cubbies around the front of the Avenger’s cabin, and we found the one beneath the infotainment screen particularly useful. Hidden behind a magnetic cover, it’s surprisingly deep and can hold a wireless charger.

Does the Jeep Avenger have a big boot?

The Avenger’s boot isn’t the biggest in class, measuring 321 litres in capacity for the petrol version and just 282 litres in the electric model, while the 4xe loses a further 20 litres.  While this is less than what you’d find in a Skoda Kamiq or even a Ford Puma, it’s understandable given the Avenger’s compact dimensions.

The adjustable, washable boot floor also makes it fuss-free to carry pets, and it’s easy for them to hop in or load bulky objects thanks to its one-metre-wide opening and good shape. It’s nice to see Jeep has included a USB-C charger in the back, too, although it’s a shame it couldn’t stretch to two.

Is the Jeep Avenger a good tow car?

It’s important to pick carefully if you plan on towing with the Jeep Avenger, because only the entry-level 99bhp 1.2-litre petrol can pull a respectable 1,200kg trailer. This drops slightly to 1,100kg for the e-Hybrid version, and to 920kg for the 4xe hybrid, but the electric Avenger isn’t rated to tow even a small trailer.
