Reliability & safety Rating

4.0 out of 5

Jeep did not appear in our 2024 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey as the American brand does not sell its cars in great enough numbers here in order for us to receive a sufficient response. All are built to withstand the most rugged off-road conditions though and with the inherent simplicity of electric powertrains, the Avenger should be relatively painless to own. Jeep even estimates that the durable plastic cladding fitted to the Avenger’s lower extremities could save owners up to £880 in body and paintwork repairs over the car’s lifetime.

How safe is the Jeep Avenger?

Unfortunately when the Jeep Avenger was crash tested by Euro NCAP in September 2024 it failed to achieve the full five stars, instead getting just three. It was rated a reasonable 79% for adult occupant protection, but child occupant protection was disappointing at 70%. Protection for vulnerable road users was also underwhelming at just 59%, while its lowest score was in the safety assist category where it achieved just 53%. Autonomous emergency braking tech was found to be a little slow to respond to other road users. 

Euro NCAP said the same of the Avenger’s forward collision warning system on early cars, and as a result Jeep is offering a free upgrade to the updated system, so it’s worth contacting a Jeep dealership if you’ve bought an earlier model to see if your car is eligible.

What is the warranty on the Jeep Avenger?

The Jeep Avenger comes with a 36-month warranty from the factory, which can be extended if you are prepared to pay extra. In addition to this, the battery of the electric version also has a separate eight-year/100,000 mile warranty.
