Fuel Economy of Jeep Renegade
A variety of fuel economies are present on the Renegade. Your choice of drivetrain as well as engine will result in different numbers.Â
On front-wheel drive models with the base engine, the Renegade will achieve up to an EPA-estimated 22 city/30 highway MPG. That highway mileage will be especially useful as you seek out sites that may be further from home.
For 4-wheel drive configurations, you will see up to an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG for the base engine. So, you'll still enjoy similar MPG numbers, with the added benefit of 4-wheel drive.
The available engine found in the higher trim levels can achieve up to an EPA-estimated 23 city/29 highway MPG in a 4-wheel drive model. The highest trim level, Trailhawk, achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/27 highway, with the same engine and 4-wheel drive configuration.
Performance of Jeep Renegade
 On the 2.4-liter base engine, the horsepower of the Jeep Renegade reaches up to 180 HP. It will also be able to provide up to 175 lb-ft of torque.
For added power, you can upgrade to the available 1.3-liter turbo engine that delivers up to 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. Choosing this engine allows you to tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped and offers an available Class III hitch.
The two highest trim levels come standard with the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. With Auto, Snow, Sport, and Sand/Mud settings, you will feel more prepared when going to different locations. Rock Mode can be found on the Trailhawk trim for bumpier rides.
How to Save Fuel When Driving
To save fuel while you're driving, you can consider a variety of options. Slowing down when possible will help you conserve fuel. It will also prevent you from having to accelerate or brake in a quick manner, which is yet another way to save.Â
When you're planning a big trip, like camping, you're obviously going to need to bring a lot more cargo than usual. You may tow it, carry it on the roof, or store it within the interior. However, you should be aware that this extra weight above, behind, or inside your vehicle can lower your SUV's fuel efficiency. Once you get home, you can move your gear back to its usual storage places before you resume your daily drives.
Yet another good practice to consider is performing scheduled maintenance on your vehicle. An engine working at optimal levels, combined with tires that have enough air, will equal a more efficient vehicle.
