2017 Jeep Renegade Overview

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

While only a couple of years old, the Jeep Renegade is quickly becoming somewhat of a staple for the brand. While certainly not as popular as the Cherokee or Wrangler lineups, the subcompact SUV still filled in for a segment that many Jeep enthusiasts had been craving for quite some time.

In 2017, not much has changed for the Jeep Renegade. However, due to the model’s current popularity, it’s doubtful that Jeep would want things to change all the much.

With a palette of up to 10 different colors to choose from, Renegade drivers will have no trouble customizing the look of their personal Jeep vehicle. However, color schemes aren’t the only versatile part of the vehicle’s exterior.

Standard exterior features like a rear window defroster and daytime running lamps help make the 2017 Jeep Renegade ready to head down the road less traveled by. Available features like deep tint sunscreen glass simply make that journey a little more enjoyable.

2017 Jeep Renegade Performance

The Jeep Renegade comes standard with a 1.4-liter I4 MultiAir Turbo engine and a six-speed C635 manual transmission, which work together to produce 160 horsepower. However, for those who want just a little more performance from their Jeep, the available 2.4-liter I4 MultiAir engine comes paired with a nine-speed 948TE automatic transmission to deliver a 180 horsepower performance.

2017 Jeep Renegade Efficiency

The latest model of the Jeep Renegade reaches a standard fuel efficiency rating of 24/31 City/Highway mpg. Of course, models that come equipped with the more powerful 2.4-liter I4 MultiAir engine have to sacrifice some of that efficiency, settling instead for a 21/29 City/Highway mpg score.

When it comes to comfort and seating inside the latest Jeep Renegade, the cabin is loaded with many useful amenities, even on standard models. A height-adjustable rear cargo floor and rear 60/40 folding seats make finding room inside the Renegade for supplies a relatively simple task.

Of course, if drivers are looking for a technologically-advanced crossover, then they will have to choose from a higher trim level for the Renegade. Systems like Uconnect 5.0 with equipped touchscreen display only become available once drivers upgrade to the Renegade Latitude trim level.
