From 2020 onwards there were only three petrol options on offer: a 1.0 T3, a 1.3 Turbo 4xe 240 plug-in hybrid and a 1.5 T4 e-torque hybrid.
Entry-level Sport has air-con, a 5.0in touchscreen infotainment system. Upgrade to Longitude for heated door mirrors, cruise control, and rear parking sensors. Limited models add, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and steering wheel, front parking sensors, leather upholstery, sat-nav and a 6.5in touchscreen infotainment display. There is also the inclusion of forward collision warning mitigation and lane departure warning. A larger 8.4in infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity was added as part of the 2018 facelift.
Range-topping Trailhawk gets numerous off-road features, including hill descent control, reinforced underbody protection plates, and rear privacy glass.
Post-2020, trims were tweaked to include Limited, Night Eagle II, S, Trailhawk and Upland.
On the road, the Renegade is a mixed bag. The petrol car feels a bit weedy, while the 2.0 diesel is unpleasantly noisy. The 1.6 is a little smoother and performance is adequate if not spectacular. Alas, the steering is a little vague and inconsistently weighted, while the body leans right over in bends. Grip levels are moderate but respectable, while the handling, if distinctly agricultural in feel, is at least safe and secure. The ride, too, is rather old-fashioned, although it never threatens to get too out of control, while refinement is definitely from the old school, with plenty of road and wind noise.
