Interior and Cargo Space

With its rear seats upright, the Renegade offers 18.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Put the seats down and you increase that to 50.8 cubic feet, which is better than many subcompact SUVs. The Renegade can seat five people in its two rows. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, while the rear seats offer generous leg- and headroom for taller passengers.

Most SUVs in this class don't provide a commanding view of the road like the Renegade does. Outward visibility is excellent to the sides of the vehicle as well. While the Renegade's rear seats aren't as luxurious as the front ones, they're spacious enough for three kids or two adults to sit comfortably. The base model comes standard with manually adjustable front seats and cloth upholstery. You can upgrade to leather seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Infotainment, Bluetooth, and Navigation

The Jeep Renegade comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen, but there is an 8.4-inch one available. The displays are easy to reach and use with a straightforward menu structure.
The system is simple to use while driving, as it provides buttons and knobs for audio and climate controls. This vehicle comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can seamlessly operate your smartphone apps on the Renegade's screen.

Other standard infotainment features include a USB port, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and six speakers. The base model also receives remote keyless entry and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Available features include:
•    8.4-inch touch screen
•    Navigation
•    HD Radio
•    Nine speakers
•    One additional USB port
You can also upgrade to a 120-volt household-style power outlet, proximity keyless entry, and remote start if desired.

Engine and Performance

If you're in the market for a 2021 Jeep Renegade, you'll choose between two engines. These are a 180-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 177-hp 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder—both combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission. While all-wheel-drive is available, front-wheel-drive is standard.

The 2021 Jeep Renegade gets an average of 24 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway with its 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. Those trims with the standard engine receive 22/30 mpg city/highway. While the Renegade is a smaller SUV, it's super capable. It easily climbs over loose gravel and maintains its grip on forest trails thanks to an advanced traction control system. It can safely ride up and over obstacles with 8.7 inches of ground clearance.

Jeep Renegade Trim Levels

There are seven available trim levels of the 2021 Jeep Renegade. The trim levels include the Sport, Jeepster, Latitude, Upland, 80th Anniversary, Limited, and Trailhawk. For many customers, the Sport trim offers the right balance of tech and safety features. Which trim level will meet your needs? Let's break them down for you.
