Jeep Renegade Specs
The Jeep Renegade fills the subcompact crossover segment of Jeep’s lineup, and it comes with many impressive capabilities. From its off-roading performance to everyday comfortable driving around Chicago, Skokie, Park Ridge, and Forest Park, it is a well-rounded SUV.
How does it measure up under the hood and in terms of towing, hauling, and cargo space? Let’s check out the Jeep Renegade specs, and then you can stop into Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram to test drive one for yourself.
Jeep Renegade Specs: Under the Hood
The base engine for the new Jeep Renegade is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that kicks out 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It runs through a 9-speed automatic transmission and has true four-wheel drive capability available as well. If you go with the Limited (luxury) trim level, you’ll get a 1.3-liter turbocharged inline four engine, which delivers 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. It also gets 8 inches of ground clearance.
If you opt for the Trailhawk trim level, which is geared towards off-roading, you’ll get a special version of the four-wheel drive which is geared for trailblazing and comes with special low-range gear settings. This level also comes with tow hooks in the front and back as well as underbody skid plates and hill descent control.
Towing and Cargo Capacity
The Renegade boasts a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, which provides more versatility when hauling cargo. It’s also plenty to take a small trailer on a road trip, or to pull along a small trailer when moving.
With all the seats up, it has 18.5 cubic feet of storage behind the back seats. When the seats (you get a split fold back seat) are down, this increases to a full 50.8 cubic feet of space, which is plenty to pack your luggage, sports equipment, or gear for your next road trip, event, or gig.
Passenger Space
The Renegade also offers plenty of room for passengers both up front and in the back. In the front seats you’ll get 41.2 inches of headroom, 55.9 inches of shoulder room, 41.2 inches of legroom, and 53.1 inches of hip space. In the back, you’ll have 40.5 inches of head space, 51.9 inches of hip room, 35.1 inches of legroom, and 55.1 inches of shoulder space. Overall, the Jeep Renegade can comfortably fit five passengers with 100 cubic feet of passenger volume inside its cabin.
