Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Jeep Avenger or the Smart #1?
The Smart #1 is £39 cheaper to buy. The Jeep Avenger is cheaper to charge, roughly £168 a year versus £200 for the Smart #1, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £121 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Jeep Avenger and Smart #1 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 171 miles for the Jeep Avenger and 133 miles for the Smart #1 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Jeep Avenger goes roughly 39 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Jeep Avenger or the Smart #1?
The two are within 12 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 590 mm of total clearance for the Jeep Avenger and about 578 mm of total clearance for the Smart #1. The Jeep Avenger also turns in a 0.5 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Jeep Avenger or the Smart #1?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Jeep Avenger and 90% for the Smart #1. That gives the Smart #1 a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Smart #1's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Jeep Avenger's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
