How did they get all that stuff there?

It really does.

Plus lots of mountain contour detailing in 'summit gold'.
Actually, there's a bit more to it than that.

The front of the seats are trimmed in a durable, wipe-clean fabric.
Thick rubber mats protect the floor from muddy boots and paws.
You'll find '4,806' and more mountain contours, like the red squiggles on an Ordnance Survey map, stamped across the dash.

Every Avenger has a bucket-sized central storage bin with a flip-up lid, and a slick central touchscreen mixed with hard controls.

We crossed that stream three, four, five, six times . . . just because we could.
We crawled up steep banks of wet grass in a farmer's field with ease, then tip-toed back down again using hill descent control.
Truly impressive.
It's never going to be as heroic as a Wrangler but it is worthy of the seven-slot grille
Try that in some bigger family SUVs and you'll be heading home on foot.

The cheapest front-wheel drive Avenger costs £26k and is powered by a cheery 1.2-litre petrol engine. That's fine for townies. Or they might prefer an electric one from £30k.
For those living in the green bits of Great Britainland, the 4XE starts at £31k.
Hike in slippers
That's a 1.2-litre petrol mild hybrid paired with two 21kW e-motors on the front and rear axles and a six-speed auto.

The car automatically sends torque wherever it senses wheel slip.
Just point it in the right direction, gently squeeze the accelerator pedal and let it do the rest.
One thing to note. Tyres. Massively important. Huge. Kenton Cool doesn't hike in slippers.
So our test car rolled on chunky Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tyres. They're mint for biting through snotty surfaces — and worth the extra road noise on normal roads.

Ask your dealer nicely and they'll sort them for you.

Major car brand discontinues its first and ONLY electric car that was hamstrung by short range & poor practicality
MAZDA is pulling the plug on its first and only electric car, criticised during its four-year run for its limited range and cramped cabin. The MX-30, which made its world debut back in 2019 at the Tokyo Motor Show, is a subcompact crossover SUV offered as an EV and as a plug-in hybrid. 4 Mazda's first EV, the MX-30, is being discontinued after four years of mixed reviews Credit: SUPPLIED 4 The MX-30's 124-mile range, due to its small 35.5kWh battery, was a key factor in its struggles against rivals Credit: Supplied 4 New EVs like the Jeep Avenger and MINI Aceman now dominate the subcompact electric SUV market Credit: SUPPLIED 4 Its awkward, coach-style rear doors were also criticised Credit: Supplied But now, it's electric variant has quietly reached the end of its production lifespan. Launched in the UK in 2021, the MX-30 was positioned against the likes of the Kia Soul EV and Peugeot e-2008. However, it struggled to gain traction, primarily due to its short range and limited practicality. One of the most significant criticisms of the MX-30 - aside from its bizarre, coach-style doors - was its modest range of just 124 miles, thanks to its 35.5kWh battery. Read more Motors News The smaller battery size, chosen to reduce the car's weight, improved its handling and lowered its CO2 emissions during production, but also resulted in persistent range anxiety among drivers. Indeed, today, rivals like the Jeep Avenger, Renault 4, and MINI Aceman offer ranges of around 250 miles - further highlighting the MX-30's shortcomings. WHAT'S NEXT? While the fully electric MX-30 has been axed, the plug-in hybrid version remains on sale in the UK. This variant, equipped with a fully charged battery and a full tank of petrol, can cover more than 400 miles, according to Mazda. Most read in Motors What's more, the brand is set to give electric cars another stab next year with the 6e saloon, which is poised to be in the same segment as the top-selling Tesla Model 3. A fully electric SUV is also in the pipeline, but the decision to temporarily pluck its only pure electric vehicle in its lineup is bold - particularly in light of the UK Government's ZEV mandate. EZ-6 Under the current mandate, at least 28% of manufacturers' new car sales must be zero-emissions vehicles by 2025, prompting many brands to prioritise EV production.
