## Why this model

The Jeep Avenger is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a stylish, compact SUV that stands out from the crowd. It brings that iconic Jeep rugged look into a smaller, more city-friendly package. It's built on a proven Stellantis platform, shared with cars like the Peugeot 2008, which bodes well for its underpinnings. It's easy to drive, surprisingly practical for its size, and offers a comfortable ride. Plus, being a newer model, you'll benefit from modern tech and safety features.

## What you should pay

Based on current UK market trends (February 2026), a 2023 Jeep Avenger 1.2 T3 Altitude with typical mileage (around 20,000 miles) is settling around the £16,892 mark. You might find some slightly cheaper if they have higher mileage or are a lower trim, and slightly more expensive for top-spec or very low mileage examples. Always aim to negotiate a little, as there's usually some wiggle room.

## Which trim to buy

The Altitude trim hits a real sweet spot for value. It builds on the entry-level Longitude by adding some great features like larger alloy wheels, a digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, and a more premium interior finish. You get a significant uplift in comfort and tech without jumping to the top-tier Summit, which can be considerably more expensive for features you might not necessarily need. It offers the best balance of equipment, style, and price on the used market.

## What to check before you buy

- As a very new model (launched late 2022/early 2023), widespread common issues are not yet well-documented. Early reports suggest minor software glitches, but nothing major.

## Running costs

For the 1.2 T3 petrol engine, you can expect around 48-50 MPG, which at current petrol prices (approx. £1.45/litre) works out to roughly 13.7 pence per mile. Road tax (VED) for cars registered after April 2017 is £190 per year. Insurance costs will vary significantly based on your age, location, and driving history, but for a small SUV, it's generally in a moderate bracket. It's worth getting a few quotes.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Petrol
- **Horsepower**: 100 hp
- **Mpg**: 48-50 MPG (WLTP combined)
- **Reliability Score**: Good (based on Stellantis platform, too new for extensive long-term UK data)
- **Safety Rating**: 5-star Euro NCAP (2023)

## Trim comparison

| Trim | Price new | Price used | Key features |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Longitude | £23,800 | £16,000 | 16-inch alloy wheels; LED headlights; 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen |
| Altitude | £25,800 | £16,892 | 17-inch alloy wheels; 7-inch digital instrument cluster; Automatic climate control |
| Summit | £27,800 | £18,500 | 18-inch alloy wheels; Full LED lighting; Heated front seats |

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £16,892 | 34.5% |
| 2027 | £15,500 | 39.9% |
| 2028 | £14,100 | 45.3% |
| 2029 | £12,700 | 50.7% |
| 2030 | £11,300 | 56.1% |

The Jeep Avenger is still quite new, so buying a 2023 model now means you're taking the biggest hit of its initial depreciation. The 'sweet spot' for buying used is often around 3-4 years old, which a 2023 model will be by late 2026/early 2027. This is when the steepest part of the depreciation curve has passed, but the car is still relatively modern and has plenty of life left. Selling after 5-7 years (around 2028-2030 for a 2023 model) will see depreciation slow down, but you'll still lose a fair chunk of its value.

Total value lost since new: 56.1%.
