The Jeep Renegade is a subcompact SUV with the character to stand out from the crowd. The 2023 model is now available, and it’s a winning choice for both city and trail.

Standout Design

The Renegade takes a rebelliously individual approach to subcompact SUV design. Borrowing plenty of inspiration from the iconic Wrangler model but softening the boxy edges with curves and sculpted angles, the Renegade’s profile combines ruggedness with an unashamed cuteness that raises it above the generic crossover format.

But the design is about much more than eye-catching looks. The aggressively high base delivers up to 22cm of ground clearance, more than 48cm of water-fording ability, and best-in-class approach and departure angles to create a small SUV that’s genuinely ready for the toughest off-road conditions.

Ample Power for Adventuring

The off-road credentials are underlined by the high-end engineering supplied as standard under the hood. Based around a 1.3L turbo engine making a healthy 177 horsepower and 210lb-ft of torque, the powertrain delivers ample power to all-wheel drive via a smooth nine-speed transmission, with gear ratios optimized for low-speed crawling and assured acceleration from a standing start.

And while there’s no shortage of performance available for aggressive driving, the Renegade also emphasizes everyday economy, with technologies including active grille shutters and automatic engine stop-start that push fuel consumption as low as possible.

Performance is raised even further by the Jeep Selec-Terrain system offered on every trim, providing up to five driving modes to refine traction control over pavement, sand, snow, mud, and rocks. All modes can combine with the standard Hill Descent Control function to make the Renegade as versatile and capable as any of its bigger Jeep siblings.

Lastly, the generous engine output also translates into an impressive towing capacity. When properly equipped, the Renegade Trailhawk model can haul up to 907kg in trailer weight, plenty enough for weekend camping gear, dirt bikes, kayaks, and all your other adventuring essentials.

Plush Interior with Advanced Technology

The 2023 Renegade might have a firm focus on off-road readiness, but its interior delivers a thoroughly modern and comfortable experience. Optional leather upholstery is backed up by heated front seats in the higher trims, along with a heated steering wheel for an extra edge of comfort.

What’s more, the Renegade includes a suite of infotainment technology to embarrass many mainstream family SUVs. An 8.4-inch touchscreen is standard, running the latest Uconnect 4C software for a smooth and user-friendly experience. In-built navigation is included on every trim, complete with voice control, while smartphone integration is handled by Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth hands-free calling.

Class-Leading Safety and Driver-Assist Technology

Jeep has a deserved reputation for providing a generous suite of safety technologies in every vehicle, and the Renegade is no exception to that rule. The model backs up its rugged physical construction with more than 70 standard and available features to make every drive as safe as possible, with highlights including forward collision warnings, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, and much more.
