Globally the Jeep Renegade was first launched in 2014; however, India will receive the facelifted Renegade that has recently been unveiled in Italy. The SUV comes with subtle design changes, which are in-line with new 2018 Jeep Wrangler unveiled in late 2017. It carried Jeep’s heritage touch while offering a futuristic appeal. The 2019 Jeep Renegade comes with new front fascia, featuring new and larger grille in matte grey finish, new LED projector headlamps, fenders mounted white indicators instead of orange units and sculpted bumper with a larger central airdam. The retro-styled headlamp unit seems shared with the new Wrangler, featuring circular LED daytime running lights. On the other hand, the fog lamp assembly with turn signals has been repositioned. The front bumper has also been revised with new plastic cladding that extends to the squared wheel arches.

On sides, the 2019 Jeep Renegade facelift gets revised outside rear view mirrors and it rides on large twin-spoke alloy wheels. What add more to its sporty appeal are wider fenders, sturdy roofline, and small and rude taillights. At the back, the SUV gets revised bumper with two individual mesh panels, a rear skid plate, brake light and a trapezoidal exhaust system. The vehicle also gets newly designed smoked X-shaped taillights with more detailed Red LED light. The SUV is based on compact 4×4 platform that also underpins the Compass and the sporty Fiat 500X crossover.

The cabin of the Renegade is as rugged and premium as its exterior. It gets good quality colour and material, state-of-the-art technology and clever storage features. Referred as “Tek-Tonic”, the SUV’s interior sports a new design theme defined by the intersections of soft and tactile forms with rugged and functional details. The newly familiar “X” shapes inspired by its roof and tail lamps further enhance its Tek-Tonic interior look. Major surfaces such as the sculpted soft-touch instrument panel is intersected with bold functional elements like the passenger grab handle. There is “protective clamp fasteners” layered design accents and inspired colours. The SUV comes with a flexible interior package that includes a removable, reversible and height adjustable cargo floor panel and fold-forward front-passenger seat.

The American automaker will introduce the Renegade with both petrol and diesel engine option. Like the global model, the India-spec model will share both the powertrain with the Compass. The SUV is expected to receive a detuned version of the 2.0-litre Multijet turbo diesel engine. The engine that powers the Compass is capable of producing 170bhp and 350Nm of torque. On the other side, the de-tuned version of this engine is likely to produce around 148bhp and 350Nm of torque.

This engine might be tuned to offer 138bhp and 200Nm on the Renegade.

Transmission options on offer could be a 6-speed MT, a 7-speed AT and a 9-speed AT, supported by 4X2 and 4X4 drivetrain system.
