The 2017 Jeep Renegade: All the Jeep Versatility You Love at an Affordable Price
Introduced two years ago, the Jeep Renegade is very difficult to miss. Its dimensions are compact but it displays a rugged design that allows the small Jeep SUV to stand out in the subcompact SUV segment.

These models aim to offer impressive versatility combined with significant fuel economy while being affordable. The 2017 Jeep Renegade offers all this, but it adds off-road capabilities worthy of the Jeep brand.

2017 Jeep Renegade: The Robust Subcompact SUV

The 2017 Jeep Renegade is able to continuously offer you more. With its more than capable all-wheel drive system, it offers superior off-road capabilities compared to all its rivals. In addition, its engines are both powerful and fuel efficient, and its towing capacity is higher than other sub-compact SUVs in the market. In short, the 2017 Jeep Renegade offers everything you want from a small SUV, but with a little something more in terms of ruggedness.

Two engines are offered in the 2017 Jeep Renegade. The first is a four-cylinder 1.4-liter turbocharged engine developing 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This engine can be paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission. The second engine is a 2.4-liter MultiAir four-cylinder engine developing 180 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired exclusively with a 9-speed automatic transmission and is capable of towing up to 907 kilos or 2000 pounds, the best towing capacity in the segment.

Better yet, it is also one of the most fuel-efficient in the segment as well with an average fuel consumption rating of only 9.9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. Even with the most powerful engine, the fuel consumption rating can be as low as 11.2 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers when the Renegade is equipped with all-wheel drive.

Impressive Safety in the 2017 Jeep Renegade

The 2017 Jeep Renegade offers more than 65 safety technologies offered as standard or optional in its different versions. These include active safety systems such as an automatic braking collision detection system, a parking assist system that tells you if you are approaching an obstacle behind you, seven airbags that come standard, and several other technologies as well.
