Jeep Avenger North Face
WHEN the Jeep Avenger first arrived, its classification as a small, electric front-wheel drive SUV seemed at odds with the US brand’s credentials as a manufacturer of rugged 4x4s. However, we were impressed by the neat touches that marked it out as a Jeep, while the overall design delivered plenty of style in a package that was well suited to the urban jungle.

CONSIDER the Range Rover Sport SV range complete (for now), thanks to the addition of a top-spec SV Carbon model priced from £165,045. This makes it nearly £25,000 more than the 'base' Range Rover Sport SV, and while it does get lots of extra kit, there are still a few key carbon elements missing from the spec sheet.
