Renegade Performance and Capability
The 2021 Jeep Renegade is equipped with a 180-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that mates to a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. You can upgrade to an available 1.3-liter turbo-four engine that produces 210 lb-ft of torque for more power and gets 24 city/32 highway MPG. Both engines are available with four-wheel drive as an option.
On the pavement, the Renegade handles well and offers high maneuverability and tight steering, which works well for either crowded parking lots or tight squeezes in the woods. Off-road, the 2021 Renegade has a lot of toughness and skates over loose gravel and uneven surfaces, thanks to the advanced traction control system. It also has high ground clearance and several skid plates for traversing obstacles. If you want to spend a lot of time on the trails, the Trailhawk is the best model in the lineup for off-road adventures.
Renegade Interior
The 2021 Jeep Renegade can seat five people in two rows of seats with soft, supportive bolstering and generous head- and legroom. Even tall adults can sit in the backseat of the Renegade on a long ride without feeling cramped, and the outward visibility gives the cabin an airy feel. Cloth upholstery is standard, but you can upgrade with leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats.
Behind the rear seats, the Renegade has 18.5 cubic feet of cargo space. With the seats folded down, you'll get 50.8 cubic feet of space for hauling large objects, camping gear, sports equipment, or a lot of luggage.
Renegade Safety and Technology

The Renegade comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen infotainment system or an optional 8.4-inch touch screen infotainment system, both of which use the highly intuitive Uconnect® interface. Widely regarded as one of the best on the market, the Uconnect® system has a user-friendly menu setup and simple inputs for easy operation. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone compatibility is standard, so you can seamlessly stream music and media from your phone on the go. Other available features include navigation and HD radio.
Several safety features are included for the Renegade, such as a rearview camera and Blind Spot Monitoring, which helps when changing lanes. You can also get available Active Braking, which applies the brakes to help limit the chance of a collision from happening. Parallel and Perpendicular Park and Exit Assist System and automatic High-Beam Headlamps are optional as well.
