Jeep wants to be the top seller of electric SUVs in the world.
But that will change, starting next year with the Europe-only Jeep Avenger. It makes sense that the automaker is targeting the European market first; Europe has a more mature EV charging network than the US, and EVs outsell gas models in many European countries, including Norway.The Jeep Avenger will have a target range of 400 kilometers and will slot into the compact SUV market under the Jeep Renegade.
Like the Wrangler, the Recon will be highly customizable, including removable doors and roof panels. Buyers will be able to “see a little bit of the Wrangler DNA infecting the design of the Recon, and that’s not by accident,” Jeep’s chief design officer Ralph Gilles said. For example, the Recon will have exposed door hinges like the Wrangler — which bucks the trend of sleek, aerodynamic body types for most EVs.

Best SUVs of 2022Looking like a taller, more rugged Mazda 3 hatchback, the 2022 CX-30 snuggles up next to the CX-5 on the small end of the brand's SUV lineup. Its curvaceous exterior design and near-premium cabin give the CX-30 an upscale appearance that almost puts it in contention with subcompact luxury crossovers such as the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1, but its pricing is more aligned with mainstream subcompact SUVs such as the Hyundai Kona and the Volkswagen Taos. The entry-level engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which delivers tepid acceleration; hot-shoe drivers will find the optional turbocharged 2.5-liter far more desirable. Handling is agile and the CX-30's on-road demeanor is reminiscent of Mazda's sportier offerings, which we greatly appreciate; so much so, that we gave it an Editors' Choice award. A generous helping of infotainment and driver-assistance features is standard and, starting this year, so is all-wheel drive.Review, Pricing, and Specs
