The Jeep Avenger has been named European Car of the Year 2023 at the Brussels Motor Show.

The Avenger won by a clear margin over seven other finalists, which included the Kia Niro, Nissan Ariya, Peugeot 408, Renault Austral, Subaru Solterra and Toyota BZ4X, and the Volkswagen ID.Buzz.

57 Car of the Year jurors voted for the Jeep – ensuring the brand won on its first ever entry into the award.

The electric Jeep Avenger arrives in the UK later this year, as the smallest-ever Jeep, and the brand’s first pure electric vehicle.

The Jeep Avenger succeeds the Kia EV6 as the latest Car of the Year – meaning a pure electric car scoops the award for the second year running.

This year, the European Car of the Year organisation celebrates its 60th anniversary; the first competition was held back in 1964.

The Rover 2000 was the inaugural winner.
