As we’d expect from any “real” Jeep, the all-new Renegade was designed and engineered in the good old U.S. of A. But ssshhh, it’s actually built on a global Fiat platform, by Fiat, in Italy. I literally burst out laughing when a gentleman in a brand-new Jeep Cherokee pulled up beside me, rolled his window down and advised me that my Renegade is n

Sometimes in life you cannot just play it safe, sometimes you have to take a little gamble and hope that it pays off.  For example, you could send the guy that really doesn't like Jeeps to a Jeep event and hope that he doesn't embarrass your company at the event and come home with an article that spouts nothing good about an important vehicle for t

The 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk is a machine built to tackle terrain that’d leave a comparable Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V, or Chevrolet Traxx with a bashed-in oil pan, and an owner scouring eBay for replacement bumpers. It may look cute and playful, but it’s built to occupy nothing less than a top-of-class position when it comes to small-SUV capabil

As soon as Alfa Romeo released its EV CUV at the Geneva Motor Show earlier today, you just knew that others in the FCA family would be following suit and sure enough, a few hours later we were introduced to the Jeep e-volution powertrain, personified by PHEV versions of the Jeep Compass and Renegade. Jeep is claiming a 50 km range for both vehicl

The colour on the little Jeeplet you see before you is called Jungle Green. It’s a great-looking, non-metallic shade that seems most appropriate on a vehicle whose brand has a history of go-anywhere, do-anything ruggedness. If you’ve got to drive through a jungle, a Jeep is one of very few vehicles you’d want to do it in. The only jungle this t

I remember one of the earlier Renegades from which this latest Jeep product (it beat the new Cherokee to dealers by a year) gets its name; and it should be said that it’s nothing like this. I remember it as a wide-bodied, fat-tired version of the YJ Wrangler. There was a version before that, too, and it was also nothing like this. I found mys

Jeep has taken the wraps off of a refreshed Renegade at the Torino Motor Show. It seems like a strange place to reveal an update to Jeep's smallest model, but the Turin show is the home auto show for the Renegade, which is built in Melfi, Italy. The new model was shown in Turin's Valentino park, the country's first public garden and home to sever

Over the past decade the SUV and now CUV has both grown in size and popularity, but with the advent of higher fuel prices (until just recently) and environmental concerns consumers have been eyeing smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles. But these same consumers like the upright and high seating position of the CUV that offers them a better view

Jeep has recalled some compact Renegade crossovers sold as 2015 and 2016 models to fix factory-installed trailer hitches that could fall off the vehicle . Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), Jeep's parent company, says the optional hitches may not have been properly attached to the vehicle during installation and could consequently fall off. Natura

Jeep has just announced details for the newly refreshed Renegade. The company's smallest model gets some slight styling changes but a brand-new engine and gearbox on top trims. It's one of those unusual automotive trim quirks that sees the up-level engine actually offer less horsepower than the entry-level option, that one being the 2.4L four tha

Vehicle Type Compact crossover History/Description The Jeep Renegade first appeared for model year 2015, as the first model built on FCA’s “small-wide 4x4” architecture, intended to provide best-in-class off-road capability and solid on-road driveability. Geared towards the compact crossover shopper after above-average levels of off-road capa

We’re in tumultuous automotive times and carmakers whose lineups aren’t chock-full o’ SUVs are scrambling to stay afloat. Heck, even some brands with plenty of ’utes in their lineups are struggling right now (hang in there, Nissan). So, when your entire portfolio consists of small, mid-size, and large SUVs, plus the legendary Wrangler – and a new

The Wrangler is the quintessential Jeep, but of course it’s not the only one. I didn’t get the famous “Jeep Wave” from Wrangler owners in my Renegade , but since I had the Trailhawk version, I probably could have matched them most of the way on an off-road excursion. The Renegade got a makeover for 2019, and so changes for 2020 are mostly limite

It’s hard to think of a Jeep without conjuring images of a big, brawny SUV. That’s in stark contrast to the Jeep Renegade , which packs its rugged looks and surprising capability inside city-friendly dimensions. Much like the Jeep brand, the name of the Chevrolet Trailblazer might bring to mind a big and clunky SUV. Yet the familiar name was r
