Next-gen Jeep Renegade To Be Unveiled in 2021 – India Bound

New Gen Jeep Renegade

American automaker, Jeep has started working on the second generation Renegade SUV, which is expected to be unveiled in 2021. The first generation model was launched in 2015, and received facelift in 2018. Previous media reports claim that the next-gen Jeep Renegade will also be launched in India; however, Jeep is yet to make an official announcement on the same.

The next-gen Jeep Renegade is most likely to retain the existing Small Wide 4×4 platform; however, engineers will modify the platform for the newer model. Fiat Chrysler Automobile will be aiming to achieve high level of localisation to price this model competitively. Upon its launch, the SUV will directly rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and the Renault Duster. The SUV could be priced somewhere between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 18 lakh.

The next-gen Jeep Renegade will be developed at the FCA’s Ranjangaon facility near Pune, and will also be exported to other right-hand-drive markets. It will also be the only model in its category to offer all-wheel-drive system. It is expected that the next Renegade will be offered with the de-tuned versions of the 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol and 2.0-litre diesel engines.. Transmission options are likely to include 6-speed manual and the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The next-gen Jeep Renegade will sit right between the brand’s upcoming sub-4 meter SUV and the Compass. The company is readying 2 new models for India – the sub-4 meter SUV based on Fiat Panda’s 4×4 platform and an all-new 7-seater SUV codenamed Low-D. While the 7-seater SUV will be launched in 2021, the sub-4 meter SUV will go on sale in late 2021 or early 2022. The upcoming Jeep compact SUV will be priced under Rs 10 lakh. It will rival the likes of the Ford EcoSport, Mahindra XUV300 and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
