The boot is 25.6% larger at 550 liters, but it can't match the Citroen C5 Aircross's sliding rear bench.
Our First Edition came loaded with features like massaging front seats, a 360-degree camera, matrix LED headlights, and Level 2 ADAS.
However, the driver assistance buttons on the steering wheel were unresponsive, an issue Jeep says a software update will fix.
Under the hood, the e-Hybrid is a front-wheel-drive mild hybrid with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine producing 144 hp.
It's paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, and while the Selec-Terrain system offers modes for slippery conditions, there's no rear axle for serious off-roading.
On the road, the powertrain is adequate for daily driving but requires high revs to extract performance, pushing fuel consumption closer to 8 lt/100 km than the claimed 5.6 lt/100 km.
The ride is mature and predictable, with direct steering and a slightly stiffer suspension than other Stellantis SUVs.
For those wanting more power, Jeep offers a fully electric version with 213 hp and a plug-in hybrid with 222 hp, both front-wheel drive.
