Historically, small SUVs aren’t known for their off-road performance. Along comes the 2022 Jeep Renegade, and it redefines the class with its incredible range of capabilities. The Jeep Renegade falls into the compact crossover SUV category, but it still offers a very adaptable interior as well as some of the most advanced technology in the automotive industry. For the 2022 model year, Jeep has made a few subtle changes, but they have largely carried over the same features and options from 2021. Independent online reviews have praised the 2022 Renegade for all of the off-road potential offered by the Trailhawk model, sharp handling around corners and its wide range of user-friendly technology.
McKinstry Chrysler customers interested in what the various available Jeep platforms have to offer should also take a look at the 2021 Jeep Compass or the 2021 Jeep Gladiator.

Available LED Lighting
Every 2022 Jeep Renegade has a great set of lights to illuminate dark roads. However, the top-of-the-line Trackhawk® Elite model takes things up a level. Each Trackhawk® Elite model comes with bifunctional LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lamps, LED fog lamps, and LED taillamps.
Sun & Sound Package
Every Jeep vehicle is built to take its passengers where they want to go and fully experience the environment.

Performance & Capability
Renegade Engine Specs
Every 2022 Jeep Renegade will have the same engine under the hood. Jeep has found a way to balance efficiency and capability with the turbocharged 1.3-liter, inline four-cylinder engine. It will make 177 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque.
Towing Capacity
In keeping with the theme of the small 2022 Renegade offering outsized performance, the Jeep can actually post one of the best towing capacities in its class. Renegade models with four-wheel-drive can tow up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs.).
Fuel Economy
Most owners of the 2022 Jeep Renegade will spend the bulk of their time driving on the road, without towing anything. The naturally efficient engine can post 9.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.4 L/100 km on the highway with its 4×2 drivetrain. Buyers opting for a model with four-wheel drive can expect to see 10.2 L/100 km in the city and 8.1 L/100 km on the highway.

Technology
Customizable Information Display
Being one of the most technologically advanced vehicles in its class means that 2022 Renegade drivers will have a lot of different systems to monitor. The driver information display in the center gauge cluster can be customized to show drivers the information they need.
Connectivity Technology
Each 2022 Renegade is equipped with a version of the Uconnect infotainment system. An 8.4-inch touchscreen is standard on all Renegade models. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard equipment. Some of the optional infotainment features include 3-D navigation and access to SiriusXM services.

Safety
Active Safety Systems
Jeep has made more than 70 safety and security features standard or available for the 2022 Renegade. The menu of available active safety systems will vary depending on which of the vehicle’s trims a buyer chooses to take home.
Blind-Spot Monitoring
Each 2022 Jeep Renegade is equipped with blind-spot monitoring. The system will let drivers know when other vehicles are approaching an area where they might be hard to see. Rear Cross Path Detection will let drivers know there is an obstruction behind them when the Renegade is in reverse.
Lane Departure Warning
Drifting out of your lane of traffic can be extraordinarily dangerous. Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist is standard on all 2022 Jeep Renegade models. The system works by measuring the vehicle’s distance between the lane boundaries marked on the road. If the system senses a problem, the driver will get audio and visual alerts, as well as tactile feedback warnings through the steering wheel.
Changes from the 2021 Renegade
One of the biggest changes that were made to the 2022 Jeep Renegade comes with the vehicle’s engine menu. The 2.4-litre powerplant has been discontinued for the 2022 model year. Additionally, McKinstry Chrysler customers will find fewer trim grades available than in previous years. There are still plenty of options available for shoppers to find exactly what they want to take home.
