Jeep Avenger vs Fiat 600e: petrol or electric?

The Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e are two compact SUVs from the same group (Stellantis), in the same segment and with very similar dimensions — the main difference isn't the body, it's the powertrain: petrol for the Avenger, fully electric for the 600e.

The 600e's list price is around €6,050 higher, a fairly typical gap between a combustion and an electric model in the same segment. The real cost per km, though, depends heavily on your charging profile: drivers who can charge at home or on favourable electricity rates get close to, or beat, the petrol version's running cost over a few years; those relying mostly on fast public charging see the EV's cost advantage shrink considerably.

Beyond raw TCO, the right choice depends on use: the 600e suits drivers with mostly predictable urban/extra-urban trips and access to home charging; the petrol Avenger remains the more flexible choice for frequent long trips or anyone without easy access to a charging point.
