“The all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade expands the brand’s product portfolio and targets the rapidly expanding small SUV

Chrysler Group LLC. “Renegade symbolises the brand’s renowned American design, ingenuity and innovation, marking the
Jeep brand’s first entry into the small SUV segment in more than 100 markets around the globe.”
Best-in-class off-road capability thanks to two all-new 4x4 systems
Leveraging 4x4 technology from the all-new Jeep Cherokee, the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade offers two of the most
advanced and intelligent 4x4 systems in its class, all to deliver best-in-class off-road capability. Both systems can
provide up to 100 per cent of the engine’s available torque to the ground, through any wheel, for optimal grip.
- Jeep Active Drive – full-time 4x4 system
- Jeep Active Drive Low – class-exclusive full-time 4x4 system with 20:1 crawl ratio
Innovation is also at the forefront of any new Jeep vehicle, and the Renegade is the first small SUV to feature a
disconnecting rear axle and power take-off unit (PTU) – all to provide Jeep Renegade 4x4 models with enhanced fuel
economy. The system instantly engages when 4x4 traction is needed.
Both Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low 4x4 systems include the Jeep Selec-Terrain system, providing up to five
modes (Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud modes, plus exclusive Rock mode on the Trailhawk model) for the best four-wheel-drive
performance on- or off-road and in any weather condition.
Trail Rated: Renegade Trailhawk 4x4 model
For customers who demand the most off-road capability from their Jeep vehicles, the Renegade Trailhawk model delivers
best-in-class Trail Rated 4x4 capability with:
- Standard Jeep Active Drive Low (20:1 crawl ratio)
- Selec-Terrain system with exclusive Rock mode
- Increased ride height 20 mm (0.8 inches)
- Skid plates, and red front and rear tow hooks
- Unique fascias deliver 30.5 degree approach, 25.7 degree break-over and 34.3 degree departure angles

with 2.4-litre Tigershark engine, with the optional tow package
A global Jeep design for a rapidly growing global brand
From the start, the designers knew the Renegade would need to deliver best-in-class off-road capability with
city-sized proportions that exuded the brand’s rugged style while at the same time enhancing versatility, manoeuvrability
and style. Additionally designers were tasked to make an all-new SUV that would symbolise the brand’s renowned American
design and ingenuity, as it would mark the Jeep brand’s first entry into the small SUV segment in more than 100 markets
around the globe. Last, Renegade had to offer an open-air option.
The result is the all-new 2015 Renegade, a vehicle that features fresh new styling with rugged body forms and
aggressive proportions that enable best-in-class approach and departure angles purposely designed to deliver
best-in-class off-road capability. And for segment-exclusive panoramic views, two available My Sky open-air roof panel
systems conveniently stow to provide passengers open-air freedom with ease.
All-new interior exudes a rugged and energetic appearance
The all-new Jeep Renegade interior features a rugged and energetic appearance that builds upon Jeep’s legendary brand
heritage. Its precisely crafted detail, innovative and high-quality colour and material appointments, state-of-the-art
technology, and clever storage features draw inspiration from contemporary extreme sports gear and lifestyles.
The interior of the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade has a distinctive form language which Jeep designers have titled
“Tek-Tonic.” This new design theme is defined by the intersections of soft and tactile forms with rugged and functional
details. Major surfaces such as the sculpted soft-touch instrument panel are intersected with bold functional elements
like the passenger grab handle – indispensable for off-road adventures and borrowed from its big brother, the legendary
Jeep Wrangler. Unique “protective clamp fasteners,” anodised design accents and inspired colours are derived from extreme
sports equipment, while the newly familiar “X” shapes inspired by its roof and tail lamps add to Renegade’s Tek-Tonic
interior look. And to make sure all of the needed passenger gear fits, the Renegade is designed with an efficient and
flexible interior package that includes a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel and fold-forward
front-passenger seat.
My Sky
The all-new 2015 Renegade offers open-air freedom with two available My Sky open-air roof systems. With a manual
removable, or removable with premium power tilt/slide feature, the segment-exclusive My Sky roof-panel systems quickly
bring the outdoors inside. Designed for convenience, the honeycomb fibreglass polyurethane roof panels are lightweight
and stow neatly in the rear cargo area. For added design detail, both My Sky roof systems feature a debossed “X” stamped
into the roof that exude strength and play on the brand’s utilitarian history.
Best-in-class off-road capability with world-class on-road driving dynamics
Designed and engineered to first and foremost deliver Jeep 4x4 capability, the all-new 2015 Renegade is the first
small SUV from Chrysler Group to use the all-new “small-wide 4x4 architecture.”
With its fully independent suspension capable of up to 205 mm (8.1 inches) of wheel articulation and 220 mm (8.7
inches) of ground clearance (Trailhawk), Renegade raises the bar in the small SUV segment with best-in-class off-road
capability. Extensive use of advanced steels, composites and advanced computer-impact simulations enable the all-new 2015
Renegade’s architecture to deliver world-class torsional stiffness and Jeep brand’s durability required for Trail Rated
adventures.
The all-new Renegade is the first Jeep to integrate Koni’s frequency selective damping (FSD) front and rear strut
system. This damping system enables the Jeep Renegade to deliver world-class road-holding and handling characteristics.
Designed for global markets: 16 powertrain combinations
True to the Jeep brand, the all-new Renegade will offer customers in global markets off-road capability and fuel
efficiency. The Renegade will offer up to 16 strategic powertrain combinations – the most ever in a Jeep vehicle –
customised to markets around the world to meet a range of performance and efficiency needs. Powertrain options include:

World’s first small SUV with nine-speed automatic transmission
Like the new Jeep Cherokee, the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade has raised the bar — this time in the small SUV class —
with the first available nine-speed automatic transmission. When paired with either the 2.0-litre MultiJet II diesel
engine, or 2.4-litre MultiAir2 gas engine, the nine-speed transmission delivers numerous benefits customers will
appreciate, including aggressive launches, smooth power delivery at highway speeds and improved fuel efficiency versus a
six-speed automatic transmission.
Segment-exclusive technologies
The all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade offers technology features once found only in upper-segment vehicles, and makes them
attainable to customers in the growing small SUV segment – including award-winning Uconnect Access, Uconnect touchscreens
and the segment’s largest full-colour instrument cluster.
- Uconnect Access: Utilises embedded cellular technology to allow Jeep Renegade occupants to get directly in contact
with local emergency-service despatchers – all with the push of a button on the rear view mirror. Uconnect Access applies
the same logic to roadside assistance. One push of the “ASSIST” button summons help directly from Chrysler Group’s
roadside assistance provider, or the Vehicle Customer Care Centre. Further peace of mind comes from the system’s ability
to receive text messages, announce receipt of texts, identify senders and then “read” the messages aloud with
Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones. (Uconnect services will vary in different markets).
- Uconnect touchscreen radio systems: Award-winning in-vehicle hands-free communication, entertainment and available
navigation. Key features available on the Uconnect 5.0 and 6.5AN systems include a 5.0-inch or 6.5-inch touchscreen
display, Bluetooth connectivity, single or dual-turner, radio data system capability (RDS), digital audio broadcast
(DAB), HD Radio, digital media broadcasting (DMB), SiriusXM Radio, SiriusXM Travel Link, SiriusXM Travel Link, USB port
and auxiliary audio jack input. (Uconnect services will vary in different markets)
- Segment’s largest full-colour instrument cluster display: Filling the Jeep Renegade’s gauge cluster in front of the
driver is an optional 7-inch, full-colour, multiview display, featuring a reconfigurable function that enables drivers to
personalise information inside the instrument cluster. The information display is designed to visually communicate
information, using graphics and text, quickly and easily.
Renegade features up to 70 advanced safety and security features
Safety and security were at the forefront in the development of the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade, setting the stage for
up to 70 available safety and security features – including the availability of Forward Collision Warning-Plus and
LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus.
In addition, engineers added both active and passive safety and security features, including Blind-spot Monitoring;
Rear Cross Path detection; ParkView rear back-up camera with dynamic grid lines; electronic stability control (ESC) with
electronic roll mitigation and seven standard air bags.
Jeep brand’s global resources
The 2015 Renegade continues the Jeep brand’s dedication to the global marketplaces and demonstrates the depths of its
available resources with the Fiat Group. The final assembly location for the Renegade will be at Fiat's Melfi Assembly
Plant in Italy. This plant currently manufactures the Fiat Punto.
