The freedom and adventure connected to the Jeep brand is very accessible with the Jeep Renegade. The ruggedly charming compact crossover offers the SUV experience in a smaller, more affordable package. Value and Safety The Renegade is Jeep's smallest and least expensive model, offering a great entry point to the Jeep experience. Trim levels include the Sport (base model with a manual transmission), Upland, Latitude, Altitude, Trailhawk (best model for off-road adventures), and Limited. The Renegade earned four stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Safety features include abundant airbags (driver, front passenger, front and rear head, and front side), a rearview camera, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, front and rear disc brakes, brake assist, electronic stability control, daytime running lights, child safety locks, and traction control. more Style The Renegade simply looks like a Jeep — and that's the draw for many drivers. The exterior has the trademark Jeep look: the seven grille slots, round headlights, and abundant vertical angles that have represented the brand since its debut at the dawn of World War II. Even the inside screams "Jeep," with military-style oversized controls and a vertical dash. The Renegade's designers added playful extras, too: the tachometer is marked with a mud splash, and the display on the available parking assist shows the surrounding vehicles as 1940s Jeeps. Comfort and Convenience The driver's seat and front passenger seat are roomy, and rear passengers have abundant head and shoulder space, though designers tightened the rear leg room to save space. Cargo space reaches 50.8 cubic feet when you fold down the rear seats. Most models also let you fold down the front passenger seat for longer objects like ladders. You'll also find plenty of nooks and crannies for small items like your phone. Power features and a rearview camera are standard on all models. The following technology is also available: forward-collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, lane-departure warnings, parking assist, touch-screen infotainment system, Bluetooth, keyless ignition, dual-zone automatic temperature control, heated front seats and steering wheel, and a removable roof system. On-Road and Off-Road Performance With its compact size and tight turning radius, the Renegade suits urban and suburban living. It gets in and out of small spaces like garages and parallel parking spaces with ease. The 4x4 models have Jeep's all-weather system, Selec-Terrain. It starts with all four wheels engaged but decreases power to the rear wheels as you accelerate. Above 40 mph, the Renegade drives as a front-wheel-drive vehicle, maximizing your fuel economy. But if it senses slippage, it engages the rear wheels to improve your traction. Adventurous drivers can choose from the Renegade's various modes (Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud) that optimize the drivetrain according to your terrain. The Trailhawk trim level comes with a fifth mode (Rock) and hill descent control. Whether you're a city slicker, a suburban dweller, or a rugged off-roader, you'll find something to love about the Jeep Renegade. It's a fun and budget-friendly choice for drivers in the SUV market.

Considering a Jeep as your next new car purchase? If so, you'll love the rugged durability and premium off-road features that come packed in each vehicle from this manufacturer. While Jeeps are known for their adventuring prowess, they also come highly ranked in a category people don't expect — safety. Jeep does everything they can to make their vehicles as safe as possible, including adding a number of passive and active safety features. Before you buy your new Jeep, make sure it has the following safety features to keep yourself protected on the road. Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Path Detection (RCPD) Unless you have eyes in the back of your head, it's nearly impossible to see everything that's happening around your car. That's why the duo of Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection is so potent. The systems use radar-based sensors to detect vehicles around your Jeep. BSM catches cars in your blind spot while you're traveling down the highway, while RCPD lets you know if a car is behind you when backing up. more LaneSense Lane Departure Warning Even the best drivers sometimes swerve out of their lane unintentionally. Swerving can have disastrous consequences. The available LaneSense Lane Departure Warning system monitors the road and provides an audible alert when you start to drift. If you don't correct yourself, the Lane Keep Assist feature will steer you back on course. ParkView Rear Back Up Camera Parallel parking can be tough, especially when you're not used to it. That's why the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera is so helpful. It provides a video feed of the road behind your car with overlaid grid lines to help you back up perfectly into that tight spot. If you get too close to a car or obstacle behind you, you'll hear an audible warning chime. Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control is an advanced system that uses a plethora of sensors placed around your Jeep to detect when you're veering off the road. If this does happen, these sensors can correct over- or understeer to get you back on the correct path. Together with Electronic Roll Mitigation, this feature greatly reduces the chance of a rollover crash by keeping you in control of the wheel. Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking Even people with extremely fast reaction times might not be able to brake quick enough if the car in front of them unexpectedly stops. That's where the Forward Collision Warning system comes in. If it senses an obstacle in front of you that could cause an impact, it provides an audible alert. If you don't respond in time, it will automatically engage the brakes to prevent you from crashing. As you can see, Jeep has definitely taken a step into the future when it comes to safety technology. Not all of these features come standard on every model or trim level, so be sure to do your homework before making a purchase.
