2021 Jeep Renegade Review

2021 Jeep Renegade: Double the Driving Power

Whether you’re cruising along Indiana State Road 144, or adventuring through Badlands Off-Road Park, it’s imperative your vehicle is equipped with the components needed to succeed.

Luckily, that’s just what you’ll find under the hood of the Jeep Renegade. With two available engines to choose from, this SUV will flourish under a myriad of road conditions. Standard on the Renegade’s Sport and Limited trims is the 2.4L Tigershark®, an engine which produces 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Plus, it’s equipped with MultiAir® technology and a nine-speed transmission for an impressive combination of power and efficiency.

The Renegade’s higher trim levels, such as the Limited and Trailhawk®, feature Jeep’s 1.3L four-cylinder direct injection turbo engine, netting 210 lb-ft of torque and 177 horsepower. This beast is quite fuel-efficient, too, with an EPA-estimated 24 city and 32 highway MPG.

2021 Jeep Renegade: Overcome Any Obstacle

If backroads driving is your definition of a good time, we recommend taking a look at the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk®. This trim was specifically designed for off-roading, and it even wears the Trail Rated® badge to prove it. What is the Trail Rated® badge, exactly? Well, it’s a symbol of honor earned to Jeep vehicles who passed a series of grueling tests.

These tests help determine the Renegade’s capability, and consist of the following:

• Traction
• Water fording
• Maneuverability
• Articulation
• Ground clearance

When your vehicle is armed with the Trail Rated® badge, you’ll have the confidence to tackle whatever elements come your way. Such as small ponds or creeks, which, due to a higher air intake, sealed electrical connections, and moisture resistant openings will be no match for this Jeep Trailhawk®. Rocks and other small debris won’t stand in your way, either, considering the Renegade’s 8.7 inches of available ground clearance.

2021 Jeep Renegade: Where Form & Function Merge

Regardless of the 2021 Renegade’s aforementioned qualities, no vehicle is complete without an invigorating interior cabin. Good thing, then, that this compact SUV features one of most relaxing and intelligent interiors in the game. Let’s check it out, shall we?

It all begins at the helm, where captains will feel relaxed, recharged, and ready to go atop the optional 8-way directional controlled driver’s seat. When the mornings are crisp, this seat—as well as the co-captain’s chair, can be equipped with available heating functionality. For hot summer afternoons, optional dual zone front air conditioning keeps everyone nice and cool.

Don’t forget, though, that this Jeep is more than a place of comfort. It’s also a place to stay connected, safe, and entertained. Easily access your mobile applications, send, and receive text messages, and jam out to your favorite playlists through standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
