Jeep Renegade Review, For Sale, Colours, Models & Specs in Australia

FROM
$16,610

The Jeep Renegade was launched locally with much fanfare in late 2015, but has since failed to light up the light SUV segment that it competes in against the likes of the Mazda CX-3.

The snub-nosed four-door is the first Jeep to ever be built outside of the United States – it’s based on a Fiat 500X chassis and is built in Italy – and is available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, with a choice of manual or automatic transmission depending on grade.

The line-up was set to be refreshed in the second half of 2017 to try and improve its sales figures. Current prices range from $16,610 for the Renegade Sport to $29,700 for the Renegade Trailhawk.

Jeep Renegade FAQs

What's a fuel efficient SUV on the market?

I don’t believe that what you want is out there, and can only reiterate past advice, buy a Patrol/Pajero/Prado/LandCruiser.

Battery life in Jeep Renegade

You've done well in getting eleven years from a battery; they often give up much earlier than that. No doubt checking the electrolyte and keeping it topped up would have helped to keep the battery going for longer. The insulation blanket would also help to keep it at a more consistent temperature and make it more effective, particularly at low temperatures. It's also important to understand when replacing a battery that you buy one that has the power your car needs, simply buying a cheap battery might mean another visit to the battery store in quick order when it proves unable to do the job.

Ask Smithy Xtra Jeep Renegade

The guys at Impco tell us that the older air valve system worked very well on the Renegade up to the 2003 model year, which suggests there is no underlying reason gas won’t work on the Renegade. They don’t have a certified system for post 2003 models, but they would be prepared to work with you to develop a system and certify it on your car. If you would like more info on how to go about that phone John Coggins on 03 8788 1000.
