Jeep entered the Indian market in August 2016. Their initial model lineup included the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT. While the Compass, which was launched earlier this year, has finally made the brand more accessible to the masses, there is another interesting small SUV in Jeep’s arsenal that could make a lot of sense for our market. The product in question is the Renegade. Although Jeep had initially said they will not launch the Renegade in India, the SUV continues to undergo extensive testing on India roads. Now, reports have emerged claiming Jeep will bring the small SUV to India by the end of 2018. Here are some spy shots and other info on the Jeep Renegade India Price, Specifications and other details.

For India, Jeep could use the 1.6-litre MultiJet diesel to power the Renegade. This is the same engine that is found under the hood of the Maruti S-Cross. The 1.6 L Diesel is offered with the Jeep Renegade in the British market. A detuned version of the 1.4 L petrol that will power the Compass could also be on the cards. The Renegade has the Fiat 500L platform as its underpinnings. It gets disc brakes on all the wheels. However, much like the Jeep Compass, the 9-speed automatic transmission could be given a miss.

Jeep Renegade India – Rivals
The Renegade small SUV will rival upcoming SUVs such as the Kaptur, Kicks and the HR-V. Also, it can be viewed as a rival to current small SUVs such as the –
Jeep Renegade Exterior Design
The Renegade borrows plenty of design features from its siblings. It gets Jeep’s signature seven-slot front grille along with the squarish box-design. You also get circular headlights, boxed out wheel arches, squarish tail-lamps and prominent body cladding all around. There are modern design touches too, including the roof-rails, the glass-area on the sides and the rear.
The Jeep Renegade is not a full-fledged SUV, so do not expect it to go rock crawling or mud bogging or dune-bashing. It will get an AWD drive system which can detect road surfaces and adjust torque sent to all wheels for best grip in different situations, but the vehicle ride height restricts the Renegade to mild off-roading at best.
Jeep Renegade Interior Design
On the inside, you get a Uconnect infotainment system inside the car which gets a 5-inch or a 6.5-inch touchscreen display depending upon the region. The driver gets a 7-inch display unit which can be configured and the same will double up as an instrument cluster as well. You get a panoramic sunroof and the SUV will get a slew of customisation options as well for the accessories. How much of it makes it to the Indian market remains to be seen. We expect the India-spec model to get a more conventional analogue dial setup for the instrument console. Also, the panoramic sunroof might not make it to India. There is no 7 seater version, not even abroad. Much like the Compass, even the Renegade will offer 5 seats only.
