Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page Send by Email

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.
