Jeep Renegade India- Features
Just like other compact SUVs in the market, we expect the Renegade to also offer a generous feature list. After all, buyers in the segment of compact SUVs put quite a lot of importance on the number of creature comforts that a particular model has to offer. Hence, this SUV is likely to come with LED projector headlamps, LED daytime running lights, rain sensing wipers, touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, keyless entry, push-button start-stop among other to name a few.

This means that as a standard, it will offer dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors and other safety features. In addition to this, range-topping models might even come with Electronic Stability Program, Traction Control, Hill Assist and Hill Descent control among other features.
- Dual Front Airbags
- Side and Curtain Airbags
- Anti-Lock Braking System
- Electronic Brake Force Distribution

Jeep Renegade India- 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 it to mild off-roading at best.
Jeep Renegade India- 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 set up 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.
