Jeep SUVs Discover the Jeep SUV range and compare new, used and leasing deals

Jeep is the original SUV, having turned its war-winner into a civilian car in the late 1940s with the first Jeep CJ model (which literally stands for Civilian Jeep). Since then, Jeep has gone on to massive success with models such as the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, and it’s now starting to roll out all-electric models.

Jeep SUV models: current range

Jeep’s SUV range stretches from the tiny (and electric) Avenger to the hulking Grand Cherokee. 

Jeep Avenger

Jeep’s littlest car, the Avenger, can be had with just front-wheel drive and a tiny 1.2-litre petrol engine. Which sounds very un-Jeepy, but actually it’s quite a characterful thing to drive, even if it’s too cramped in the back. Want to go off-road? Get the four-wheel drive Avenger 4XE hybrid. 

Jeep Avenger Electric

Borrowing the same electric motor and 54kWh battery as the Peugeot E-2008, the Avenger Electric is small enough to be nippy in the city, and has just about enough range (up to 250 miles) for a longer run. Slow to charge, though, and the back seat is tiny.

Jeep Compass

The Compass is one of Jeep’s oldest models (it’s due to be replaced soon) and that shows. It’s on the small side inside, and some of the cabin materials are really cheap and nasty. Average to drive at best, and the plug-in hybrid 4XE model is compromised for boot space and long-range fuel economy.

Jeep Renegade

The little Renegade looks a bit odd — the classic Jeep styling doesn’t quite work with its compact SUV proportions — but it’s not bad to drive, and surprisingly capable off-road if you get a four-wheel drive version. Plug-in hybrid doesn’t work very well. 

Jeep Wrangler

The Wrangler is a direct descendant of the original Willys Jeep, and is staggeringly accomplished off-road. Crude and noisy on-tarmac it may be, but it looks cool, and there’s nothing more fun than taking a Wrangler’s roof and doors off and heading out into the forests. 

Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Grand Cherokee is Jeep’s biggest SUV in the UK. It has a plug-in hybrid engine that makes it ideal for smooth inner-city driving, but is still just as capable off-road as a Jeep should be. It has a nice cabin, too.
