Jeep Renegade is a small SUV made in cooperation with Fiat. Underneath the Renegade shares a lot of components with the 500X. At first glance it’s hard to imagine what the boxy Jeep and sleek Fiat can have in common.

The name Renegade first appeared on a Jeep in the early 1970s. It was a trim level on the CJ - the Wrangler’s father. The Renegade returned in the mid 1990s for the YJ Wrangler trim. And then in the early naughties the KJ Cherokee or Liberty also had the Renegade trim.

After the Cherokee there was also the Renegade concept with a hybrid drivetrain (as of recent several Jeeps are available as PHEVs), and in 2014 we got this - the Jeep Renegade BU.

The test car is the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. It not only gets AWD, but also the better kind of AWD with simulated low range and rock crawl mode. The Trailhawk also has better off road angles than other Renegades. The approach, break-over and departure angles for the Trailhawk are 30, 34, and 24 degrees respectively, whereas the more city oriented models get about 20, 25 and 21 degrees.

The Trailhawk can wade in water up to 48 cm deep, although in the manual it says if there’s a current, it’s best to keep it down to 22 cm. The ground clearance is 21 cm.
