2021 Jeep Renegade Review Logan WV | Thornhill Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Drivers in Logan, McConnel, and Henlawson can read about the new Jeep with this comprehensive 2021 Jeep Renegade review from Thornhill Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

Renegade Performance

The Renegade comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 180 horsepower. If you want more power, you can opt for the available 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 177 horsepower. Both engines pair to a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, though you can add four-wheel drive.

The available powertrains deliver consistent power that’s plenty for passing and merging on the highway or driving around town. The Renegade is highly athletic and exhibits minimal body roll through turns. Due to its size and tight steering, the Renegade has high maneuverability around crowded parking lots and busy city streets. Off-road, the Renegade holds its own on gravel or mud-covered trails and around obstacles thanks to its 8.7 inches of ground clearance and skid plates.

Renegade Space and Comfort

The Renegade can accommodate up to five passengers in two rows of soft, supportive seats. Passengers enjoy ample headroom and legroom in both the front and rear seats, and the high driving position offers a commanding view of the road for driver confidence. While cloth upholstery comes standard, you can choose to upgrade the interior comfort and style with available leather upholstery, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel.

With all the seats up, the Renegade offers 18.5 cubic feet of cargo space. With the seats folded down, the maximum cargo capacity is 50.8 cubic feet of space for camping gear, sports equipment, or luggage. You’ll find numerous cubbies, pockets, and cupholders for passengers to stow keys, cell phones, or wallets.

Renegade Safety and Technology

The Renegade includes numerous safety features as standard equipment, such as a rearview camera and forward-collision warning, a feature that alerts you to possible frontal crashes and applies the brakes automatically. Lane-departure warning is also standard, which sends you an alert if you drift out of your lane on the highway. Several safety features are optional, including automatic high-beam headlights for low visibility situations and front and rear parking sensors.

The base model comes with a 7-inch touchscreen and Uconnect®, the highly intuitive infotainment system, that boasts a straightforward menu and inputs with physical buttons for basic functions. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® are standard, giving you the option to stream media, music, and more from your smartphone to the vehicle’s onboard system. Satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity are also included, but you can upgrade to an available 8.4-inch touchscreen, HD radio, navigation, and a nine-speaker sound system.
