Frequently asked questions
Is the Jeep Avenger worth the extra £6,244 over the Hyundai INSTER?
The Jeep Avenger costs £6,244 more than the Hyundai INSTER. For that premium it adds 45 miles more WLTP range, 27 kW faster peak rapid charging and 100 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Hyundai INSTER comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Hyundai INSTER or the Jeep Avenger?
The Hyundai INSTER is £6,244 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Hyundai INSTER comes out roughly £6,284 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Hyundai INSTER and Jeep Avenger like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 145 miles for the Hyundai INSTER and 171 miles for the Jeep Avenger - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Jeep Avenger goes roughly 27 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 Hyundai INSTER or the Jeep Avenger?
The Hyundai INSTER is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 200 mm narrower than the Jeep Avenger. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 790 mm of total clearance for the Hyundai INSTER and about 590 mm of total clearance for the Jeep Avenger.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Hyundai INSTER or the Jeep Avenger?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Hyundai INSTER and 84% for the Jeep Avenger. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
