CarHub · Jeep
The Renegade is Jeep's smallest SUV, a boxy subcompact with real off-road credentials in Trailhawk form and a distinctly American character despite being built in Italy.
Model profile
The Renegade (project BU) launched for the 2015 model year on the FCA Small Wide 4x4 platform, which it shares with the Fiat 500X. It received a facelift for the 2019 model year that updated the front and rear styling and, importantly, changed the turbocharged engine line-up.
Powertrain and equipment
The US Renegade used several powertrains. At launch the base engine was the 1.4-litre MultiAir turbo four with around 160 hp, offered with a six-speed manual, an unusual and welcome choice in this class.
The Renegade is a five-door SUV only. US trims spanned Sport, Latitude, Limited and the off-road Trailhawk, with special editions layered in over the years.
Vehicle selection
Supply is good across the full 2015 to 2023 span.
The Renegade suits a buyer who wants a small, distinctive SUV with genuine off-road ability in Trailhawk trim, and who likes the idea of a Jeep that stands apart from the German crossover crowd.

Pre-purchase review
For the Jeep Renegade, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
Because the Renegade was sold in both markets, the mechanical basics are familiar, but the US cars differ in detail.
Typical work includes fitting a rear fog lamp, bringing the lighting into line with European requirements, and confirming the speedometer shows km/h. The odometer is documented during the inspection.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Whether a duty benefit may be available for the specific vehicle is assessed individually. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the case and provide non-binding support through the process.
The 2019-onward 1.3-litre turbo cars are generally the more refined choice. The 2.4 Tigershark is common but thirstier and prone to oil consumption; the early 1.4 turbo offered a manual gearbox.
In Trailhawk trim, yes. It gets Active Drive Low with low-range gearing, hill-descent control, extra ground clearance and skid protection, which is unusual in this class.
The early nine-speed automatic's shift quality and the 2.4-litre engine's oil consumption are the two issues raised most often, alongside minor electrical and infotainment quirks.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
No. American Renegades were petrol only. Diesel, mild-hybrid and plug-in versions were European-market offerings.
