The versatile 2017 Jeep Renegade is equipped for almost any adventure and any climate. The 2017 Jeep Renegade is made up of 70 percent high-strength steel and is capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds thanks to the 2.4 Tigershark MultiAir 2 engine. The towing capacity in the new Renegade gives adventure seekers the opportunity to haul anything from motorcycles to small boats. The Renegade offers a large amount of cargo space, as well as a height-adjustable rear cargo floor. The floor easily moves up and down to maximize storage. The My Sky open-air dual-panel roof opens to offer passengers an authentic open-air experience. Exterior elements, including heated mirrors, reduce fogging and the available wiper de-icer heats the windshield so the driver’s view remains unobstructed in all types of weather.
Every 2017 Jeep Renegade includes a unique Selec-Terrain traction control system with the option to select a traction setting best suitable for always-changing road conditions. Drivers can select from Auto, Snow, Sand, Rock, or Mud for the best traction and fuel-efficiency in any environment. A large gear selection featuring nine-speed automatic transmission works to provide smooth transitions between gears and optimal efficiency. With over 70 safety and security features available, the 2017 Jeep Renegade is sure to keep drivers safe wherever their journey takes them. Safety is enhanced through seven standard airbags in addition to an Enhanced Accident Response System which alerts emergency personnel in the case of an accident. Roadside Assistance Service and Vehicle Support is available with the Unconnect 9-1-1 Call button or the Assist button. The Groundbreaking LaneSense lane departure warning feature is available, designed to alert drivers when they move out of their lane without using their turn signal.
