Unlike every other SUV out there that tries to take a street-friendly, economic, by-the-books approach to sports utility, the Renegade is a sweeping departure from typical expectations. The design borrows from the Jeep Wrangler and Cherokee but still offers an identity all its own. It's a vehicle that looks attractive to those who need a subcompact vehicle smaller than the Cherokee but also need something rugged like the Wrangler. The Renegade is the perfect compact SUV to fill the void, exuding sporty looks with both aggressive on-road and off-road capabilities.

Models like the Renegade Trailhawk add to these features and to the SUV’s capability with standard tools like Jeep’s Active Drive Low and Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, the latter of which finetunes the Renegade’s steering, suspension, throttle, etc. to optimize performance on various terrain.
Also, the first SUV in its class to offer a nine-speed automatic transmission, the Renegade delivers one of the most responsive experiences behind the wheel, whether you’re quickly accelerating, navigating rush-hour traffic, or ascending or descending a steep grade.
