[rraj2k81]

Based on this review, Jeep seems to have gotten a lot right with their very first EV.

2023 Jeep Avenger Review: An EV to get excited about! - YouTube

If there is ever a company that is going to compete with Rivian, especially the R1S it is going to be Jeep.
So, the Avenger will be a good indicator of what they have down the line.

That thing looks way too small to be competing against the S. It looks smaller than a subaru. I agree their off road capability would get them plenty of customers if they do it right.

It is tiny. It won't even be a competitor for the R2 platform. There's a reason they aren't bringing it to the US.

How is a 2WD class B SUV competition for the R1S? It may be a great car but the overlap seems slim.

It looks fine, but that isn't competing with the R1 products. Not even close.

You guys take everything very literally!

This was never going to compete with the R1S. If you watch the video, they mention Jeep has three models planned between 2023 and 2025, and one of them will most definitely will be a Grand Cherokee based EV with all the offroad capabilities.

They already have a Wagoneer S planned for 2024

WAGONEER "S"

The Wagoneer "S" is designed for those who desire the art of North American premium that comes with Wagoneer. It will offer elevated style and interior features, excellent on-road and all-weather performance — and it's entirely electric.

While Rivian is still figuring out the production ramp up and no plans for the R2 until 2026, Jeep will have three models ready to compete in Rivian's market.

It’s still a Jeep… I wouldn’t touch it with a 10ft pole.

Considering Jeep's reputation with electronics, I can't wait to see how their EVs turn out

My Jeep resembles that remark.

As does mine

Count me in as a former Jeep owner who isn't going to give them the benefit of the doubt on the electrification front.

However, I think other analysts have pointed out that if there was going to be serious competition for Rivian - it would likely come from Jeep who is going to compete in the same segment.

Gawd I hate ads. Right underneath the first post of this thread was an ad for the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I played the ad, not realizing it was an ad. And then I read the comments saying how tiny the Avenger was. WTF? Then I found the real Avenger video, and realized that I watched a Cherokee video. Sigh.

So, um, yeah, Avenger, tiny, Cherokee, an R1S competitor if they ever released an EV version!

Precisely.

My 2008 JK has over 200,000 miles on it and is still going strong. Never had a problem.
