The name Renegade carries a legacy that dates back to special editions of Jeep CJ models, but today it stands as a distinctive range in Jeep’s lineup. The modern Jeep Renegade is built on the compact platform originally developed for the Fiat Panda, yet it’s infused with unmistakable Jeep DNA from front to rear.
At the front, the Renegade proudly displays Jeep’s iconic seven-slot grille paired with classic round headlights, reinforcing its heritage. The front bumper, although constructed from plastic for weight savings and cost efficiency, exudes a rugged off-road character - especially on the Trailhawk trim, which is Jeep’s dedicated off-road specialist. The design features short overhangs, trapezoidal wheel arches, and clean, straightforward lines that emphasize function and style.
Inside, the Renegade offers seating for four passengers with a high driving position that helps maximize legroom for rear occupants despite the vehicle’s compact width, which reflects its small-car origins.
In the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) markets, the 2014 Jeep Renegade launched with four trims: Sport, Longitude, Limited, and Trailhawk. Buyers could choose from an extensive lineup of 12 powertrain options, including turbo-diesel and petrol engines, paired with either front-wheel drive or sophisticated four-wheel-drive configurations designed to meet a variety of driving needs.
Since its debut, the Renegade has evolved significantly. It blends modern technology with Jeep’s signature ruggedness, offering advanced systems and comprehensive features aimed at maximizing both on-road performance and off-road capability. The latest generation meets strict Euro 6 / D emissions standards in Europe, including a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) to reduce pollutants. It offers two four-wheel-drive systems, rear axle disconnect for improved efficiency, and the well-known Selec-Terrain traction control system, along with Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control to support challenging terrain navigation.
The Trailhawk trim remains the pinnacle of off-road readiness, boasting specific upgrades - both stylistic and technical - that enable it to conquer tougher trails while maintaining comfort. For added versatility, the front passenger seat folds flat to increase cargo capacity, enhancing practicality for active lifestyles.
The new Jeep Renegade also incorporates modern driver assistance features like Traffic Sign Recognition, and updated full-LED daytime running headlamps for improved visibility and safety. The new turbocharged petrol engines underwent over 75,000 hours of virtual development, 60,000 hours of off-vehicle testing, and more than five million kilometers of rigorous real-world driving tests across diverse conditions worldwide to ensure robustness and reliability.
Thanks to this thorough development, the Jeep Renegade stands out as a compact SUV that combines the brand’s legendary off-road capabilities with contemporary fuel efficiency and urban practicality - a reliable companion whether navigating city streets or exploring the great outdoors.
