Interior equipment helps to keep the passengers comfortable no matter what the exterior environment is. The Jeep Renegade offers its own touch of style to the well-established Jeep brand.

Under the Renegade's Hood

Starting things off for the 2017 Jeep Renegade is the turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine which is capable of generating 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. This engine is standard on the first two trim levels. The second option is the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that offers up 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. This engine is standard on the latter two trim levels but is available on the first two if more power is necessary. Selecting an engine also means selecting a transmission; the 1.4-liter engine comes with a six-speed manual transmission while the 2.4-liter engine is paired with a class-exclusive nine-speed automatic. Three of the four Renegade trim levels come standard with front-wheel drive but have all-wheel drive available to them. The Trailhawk is the only exception with a standard all-wheel-drive system. The Jeep Renegade brings a well-struck balance of fuel efficiency and best-in-class off-road capability to its segment. Both engines give the Renegade over 30 miles per gallon. The Trailhawk is specifically designed for off-road terrain and provides equipment to further optimize its performance in off-road environments. For example, if you're looking to ford water, the Jeep Renegade could get you across waters 19-inches deep. The Trailhawk also offers 8.7 inches of ground clearance and 8.1 inches of wheel articulation.
