At home in America, the smallest model in Jeep's lineup is the 2026 Compass. However, in Europe, the family also encompasses even smaller models, such as the Avenger and Renegade, because everything is tighter on the Old Continent, including the adventures in the city.
Joking aside, Jeep is focusing on a new age of revival, as they have revealed an upcoming series of 12 special editions over the coming 12 months for the Wrangler, a refreshed Grand Cherokee with an all-new Hurricane 4 Turbo engine, as well as a facelifted Grand Wagoneer featuring the company's first EREV (extended range EV) powertrain, plus the first-ever all-electric Recon, among other things.
Over in Europe, the tightening emissions and safety regulations are further pushing Jeep toward an electrified lineup, rocking the subcompact Avenger EV and Hybrid, Renegade 4xe, the upcoming all-new Compass BEV and Hybrid, the iconic Wrangler 4xe, as well as the fully electric Wagoneer S and Recon that are set to replace the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler models, respectively.
The company is clearly focusing on bringing new electrified blood to its lineups in America and Europe, so it's no surprise that all eyes are on them – even those of the members of the imaginative guild of digital car content creators dwelling across the parallel universes of vehicular CGI. For example, Dimas Ramadhan, the virtual automotive artist behind the "Digimods DESIGN" channel on YouTube, has taken up the task of CGI-revealing a 2027 Jeep Avenger facelift.
The latter is Jeep's smallest model in Europe alongside the rugged Renegade and the subcompact crossover SUV was introduced to the B segment in early 2023 based on the Stellantis Common Modular Platform and closely related to a whole set of models: Fiat 600, Alfa Romeo Junior, Peugeot 2008 II and 208 II, Opel Corsa F and Mokka B, as well as the DS Automobiles DS 3 Crossback.
It's offered as the lifestyle alternative to the adventurous Renegade with both mild hybrid and all-electric powertrains, as well as the option of all-wheel drive for the 4xe model. However, it turns out this pixel master already feels the need to showcase an unofficial, hypothetical facelift design project.
As such, the CGI expert drew inspiration from the latest models in the Jeep lineup, including the Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer S, and Recon. This led to the Avenger receiving a new seven-slot grille, slimmer LED headlights and LED DRLs, a distinct bumper grille, and T-shaped LEDs flanking it. The profile features new alloy wheels but remains unchanged otherwise, and at the rear, there's a reworked LED taillight assembly that now also includes a stylish LED bar.
So, what do you think? Also, should Jeep consider bringing the Avenger to America alongside the Renegade, which is making a comeback in North America as a more affordable option compared to the current base model, the compact Compass SUV?
