A smaller-sized and contemporary-looking subcompact crossover, the Renegade prides itself on its off-road prowess, paired with its ability to offer a taste of the open air. CarHub Automotive Group is proud to be a Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Fiat dealer, and we have certainly been feeling the #JeepLife vibes lately, with 2021 marking the 80th anniversary of the iconic automaker. We are excited to bring you the latest on the 2021 Jeep Renegade, which will suit every lifestyle from suburban commuter to country-lovin’ adventure junkie.

Are you looking for a practical, family-friendly vehicle? Never fear, as the Jeep Renegade suits the family next door just as much as it suits the car fanatic. The Renegade’s powerful 4x4 system includes the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 system (on the Trailhawk model) and Jeep Active Drive on the other trim levels. Meanwhile, the towing capacity of the Renegade is up to 2,000 lb, making it entirely possible for you to tow your camper van if you’re escaping for the weekend.

Interior and Exterior Design:
A quick peek at the Renegade interior will reveal that this practical ride offers Best-in-Class rear shoulder room and Best-In-Class 1st Row headroom, which means the headroom available on the Jeep Renegade is the best, when compared to similar vehicles.
There are also a number of sunroof and LED lighting options available for the Jeep Renegade. The Sun and Sound Group (which promises to bring you “more sunshine on the road- who can say no to that?) offers a dual-pane panoramic sunroof that comes with a power retractable front pane. This awesome sunroof can be extended all the way back to the rear seats of the vehicle, ensuring that your backseat passengers are enjoying the views. This also gives them less time for backseat driving- which is a major plus for you in the driver’s seat!
Meanwhile, the standard LED lighting offered on the Trailhawk Elite promises to light your way in style with premium bifunctional LED projector headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, LED cornering fog lamps and LED taillamps.
