Engine Specs and Performance Features

With the Renegade, you’ll have the power to customize your vehicle to fit your needs, which is why you get the choice between two engines and two transmissions.

Standard in this SUV you’ll find the 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine under the hood, which produces 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque capability.

If you’re looking for something with a bit more oomph to it, you can add the available 1.3L MultiAir® Turbo engine with direct injection, which delivers 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque capabilities. This engine also includes engine stop/start technology, which improves fuel-efficiency.

You can pair your engine with either the standard 6-speed manual transmission, or you can opt for the 9-speed automatic transmission.

Driver-Assistant Safety Features

The Renegade offers a variety of driver-assistant safety features designed to help keep you and everyone else on the road safe and secure. Here, we’ll dive into some of the ones you can expect to find.

• Available Adaptive Cruise Control

For those who are often driving on the highway, this feature will come in handy for you. It helps you maintain one set speed, and can automatically slow down and accelerate back up again depending on the flow of traffic.

• Available Blind Spot Monitoring

Merging is a breeze with this feature because it will monitor your blind spots, and then will alert you with audio and visual warnings if it senses a vehicle entering when you’re preparing to change lanes.

• Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist

This feature will help you stay securely in the center of your lane through warnings and corrective steering measurements when it senses you drifting.

• Available Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking

This feature helps you mitigate or avoid a collision by monitoring the vehicles traveling in front of you, and alerting you when it senses an oncoming accident. It can also help apply braking pressure.

• Standard ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera

You’ll find the ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera standard in every Renegade trim level. This camera displays an image of what’s going on in the rear, all right next to your Uconnect® touchscreen as soon as you shift into reverse.
