Jeep Renegade

Jeep Renegade: which version to buy

If you are choosing a Jeep Renegade, start with one fact: the catalogue lists one generation (SUV 5-doors) in three production windows — 1 generation (2014-03-01 to 2019-01-31, 14 versions, 12 shown), 1 generation, restyling (2018-06-01 to 2023-08-31, 18 versions, 12 shown), and 1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2022-02-01, no stop date, 2 versions).

If you are choosing a Jeep Renegade, start with one fact: the catalogue lists one generation (SUV 5-doors) in three production windows — 1 generation (2014-03-01 to 2019-01-31, 14 versions, 12 shown), 1 generation, restyling (2018-06-01 to 2023-08-31, 18 versions, 12 shown), and 1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2022-02-01, no stop date, 2 versions). The buy is not “which generation number” but which powertrain and drive. For a light city car, the restyling 1.0 MT (120 hp, 1320 kg, mixed 6 l/100 km) or the original 1.6 MT Gasoline 110 hp is the lightest-duty pair. For the shortest 0–100 km/h in this file, pick original 1.4 MT 160 hp FWD (8.3 s) or restyling 1.3 AT 180 hp AWD (8.5 s). For ground clearance, 2.4 AT at 220 mm beats the restyling 1.3 AT 150 hp FWD at 131 mm by 89 mm. For litres per 100 km, original 1.6 MT Diesel 120 hp is the measured low at mixed 4.6. Restyling 2 is only two 180 hp 1.3 Automatic cars on 92, with fuel use and CO2 not measured.

Generations: what actually changed for a buyer

1 generation (2014–2019) is the widest used-car net: three 1.4 MT calibrations (140, 160 FWD, 160 AWD), two 1.6 MT (Gasoline 110 and Diesel 120), three 2.4 AT (175 AWD, 184 AWD, 184 FWD), 1.4 AT 150 hp FWD, and three 1956 cm³ diesels. Peak gasoline horsepower here is 184; peak diesel is 170. The 110 hp 1.6 MT is the only 5-speed Manual and the only naturally aspirated small Gasoline in the whole model.

1 generation, restyling (2018–2023) overlaps the first window by about 19 months. It drops the 110 hp 1.6 MT Gasoline, both 160 hp 1.4 MT, the 150 hp 1.4 AT, and the 184 hp 2.4 AT. It adds 1.0 MT, two 1.3 AT (150 FWD and 180 AWD), 1.4 DSG, 1.4 AT 170 AWD, 1.6 DSG Diesel, and keeps 2.4 AT 175, 1.4 MT 140, 1.6 MT Diesel 120, 2.0 MT 140, and two 2.0 AT (140 and 170). Same SUV 5-doors body. Specific power rises: restyling 1.3 AT 180 hp is 180 / 1.332 ≈ 135 hp per litre; original 1.6 MT 110 hp is 110 / 1.598 ≈ 69 hp per litre.

1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2022) is a two-version cut: 1.3 Turbo 4WD AT 180 hp AWD 9-speed Automatic, and 1.3 Turbo AT 180 hp FWD 6-speed Automatic. Displacement 1332 cm³, Turbo, Inline 4, Direct injection (direct), 270 Nm at 1850 rpm, kerb 1430 kg, clearance 153 mm, tank 48 l, fuel 92. 0–100 is 8.5 s and top speed 201 km/h on the 4WD car; both figures are not measured on FWD 1.3 Turbo AT. City / highway / mixed and CO2 are not measured on either. Wheel sizes are not measured. Eco class is not measured.

Engine options and specs

Same name, different cars: always read horsepower next to the label.

Injection where measured: Distributed injection (multi-point) on the 1.4 / 1.6 Gasoline / 2.4 cars; Direct injection (direct) on 1.0 MT and all 1.3. Diesel injection is not measured. Compression on restyling diesels is 16.5; on 1.3 and 1.0 it is 10.5; on 1.4 DSG 9.5; on original 1.4 MT 160 FWD 11 and 160 AWD 9.8. Several 1.4 / 1.6 Gasoline compressions are not measured.

Horsepower span of the model: 110 (1.6 MT Gasoline) to 184 (2.4 AT). Torque span: 152 Nm (that same 1.6 MT) to 350 Nm (every 2.0 Diesel).

Performance, mpg, and what extra output actually buys

Shortest 0–100: original 1.4 MT 160 hp FWD, 8.3 s. Restyling 1.3 AT 180 hp and restyling 2 1.3 Turbo 4WD AT are 8.5 s. Original 2.4 AT 184 AWD is 8.7 s. Restyling 1.4 AT 170 AWD is 8.8 s. Both 2.0 AT 170 hp cars are 8.9 s. Slowest measured: original 1.6 MT 110 hp, 11.8 s. Restyling 1.0 MT is 11.2 s. Original 1.4 MT 160 AWD, original 1.4 AT 150, original 2.4 AT 184 FWD, and restyling 2 1.3 Turbo AT FWD: 0–100 not measured.

Same badge, different sprint: restyling 1.4 MT 140 hp is 10.9 s; original 1.4 MT 140 hp is 9.3 s (1.6 s quicker at the same 140 hp, 1395 kg, and 230 Nm). Restyling 1.4 DSG 140 hp Turbo does 9.5 s — 1.4 s quicker than restyling 1.4 MT Compressor at the same power, and 15 kg lighter (1380 vs 1395). Restyling 2.0 MT 140 hp AWD is 9.5 s; restyling 2.0 AT 140 hp is 10.2 s (0.7 s slower for Automatic). Original 2.0 AT 140 is 10.0 s.

Top speed: original 2.0 AT 170 hp 201 km/h and restyling 1.3 AT 180 / restyling 2 1.3 Turbo 4WD AT 201 km/h. Restyling 1.4 AT 170 and restyling 1.3 AT 150 and restyling 2.0 AT 170 share 196. Original 1.4 MT 140: 194. Original 2.0 AT 140: 187. Restyling 1.0 MT: 185. Original 2.4 AT 175: 185; restyling 2.4 AT 175: 180 (5 km/h less at the same 175 hp). Original 1.6 MT 110: 170. Top speed not measured on original 2.4 AT 184 AWD, original 2.4 AT 184 FWD, both original 1.4 MT 160, original 1.4 AT 150, and restyling 2 1.3 Turbo AT.

Fuel (l/100 km) and CO2. Lowest mixed: original 1.6 MT Diesel 4.6 (city 5.5 / highway 4.0, CO2 120, Euro 5). Restyling 1.6 MT Diesel mixed 4.9 (city 5.8 / highway 4.2, CO2 129, Euro 6) — 0.3 more mixed and +9 g/km versus the pre-restyle diesel Manual. Restyling 1.6 DSG mixed also 4.9 but city 5.3 / highway 4.5, CO2 131. Original 2.0 MT mixed 5.1 (city 6.0 / highway 4.6, CO2 134). Original 2.0 AT 140 mixed 5.6; original 2.0 AT 170 mixed 5.9. Restyling 2.0 MT mixed 5.8 (city 7.4 / highway 4.9, CO2 154) — 0.7 worse mixed than original 2.0 MT. Restyling both 2.0 AT city/highway/mixed not measured (CO2 167 on 140 hp, 173 on 170 hp).

Gasoline mixed: restyling 1.4 DSG 5.9; restyling 1.4 MT and 1.0 MT 6.0; restyling 1.3 AT 150 6.1; original 1.6 MT 110 5.9; restyling 1.4 AT 170 6.9; restyling 1.3 AT 180 7.3; original 1.4 MT 160 AWD 8.7; both 2.4 AT 175 9.4 (city 10.7 / highway 7.6, CO2 155). Mixed not measured on original 1.4 MT 160 FWD, both original 2.4 AT 184, original 1.4 AT, restyling 2 both 1.3.

Tank is 48 l on every version. Range arithmetic on measured mixed: original 1.6 MT Diesel 48 / 4.6 ≈ 10.4 hundred km of mixed figure; 2.4 AT 175 48 / 9.4 ≈ 5.1 hundred km.

Weight per horsepower (kerb / hp), where kerb is measured. Lightest load: restyling 1.3 AT 180 hp 1430 / 180 ≈ 7.9 kg/hp (same 1430 kg on restyling 2 both 180 hp cars). Restyling 1.4 AT 170: 1470 / 170 ≈ 8.6. Restyling 1.3 AT 150: 1320 / 150 ≈ 8.8. Original 1.4 MT 160 AWD: 1444 / 160 ≈ 9.0. Restyling 2.4 AT 175: 1650 / 175 ≈ 9.4.

Dimensions, clearance, and which body height you actually get

All versions are SUV 5-doors. Front and rear suspension: Independent, spring. Front brakes Ventilated disc, rear Disc. Engine position Front, transverse.

Ground clearance is the real splitter. Highest: 2.4 AT (175 restyling and original, and both original 184) at 220 mm. Restyling 2.0 AT 170: 210. Restyling 1.4 DSG: 200. Original 1.4 MT 160 both drives: 200. Restyling 1.4 AT 170, restyling 2.0 AT 140, restyling 2.0 MT, original 2.0 MT, original 2.0 AT 140, original 1.4 AT: 198. Many FWD 1.4 / 1.0 / 1.6: 175. Restyling 1.3 AT 180 and both restyling 2 1.3: 153. Lowest: restyling 1.3 AT 150 hp FWD at 131 mm — 89 mm below 2.4 AT. Buying restyling 1.3 AT 150 for “SUV height” is the wrong row: it is the lowest clearance in the file.

Kerb mass. Lightest measured: restyling 1.0 MT and restyling 1.3 AT 150 at 1320 kg. Restyling 1.4 DSG 1380; original 1.6 MT 110: 1390; both 1.4 MT 140: 1395; restyling 1.3 AT 180 and restyling 1.6 diesels and restyling 2 1.3: 1430; original 1.4 MT 160 AWD: 1444; restyling 1.4 AT 170: 1470; original 2.0 MT: 1505; restyling 2.0 140: 1540; original 2.0 AT 140: 1605; original 2.0 AT 170: 1610; both 2.4 AT 175: 1650; restyling 2.0 AT 170: 1660 (heaviest measured). Gross: original 2.0 AT 140 and 170 2080 kg; original 2.0 MT 2010; restyling 1.4 AT 170 1930; original 1.6 MT Diesel 1905; restyling 1.4 MT 140 and original 1.4 MT 140 1865; original 1.6 MT 110 1860. Gross not measured on most restyling rows and on restyling 2.

Wheels where listed: 215/65 R16, 215/60 R17, often 225/55 R18; several AWD also 215/65 R17. Not measured on 1.4 DSG, 2.4 AT 175, original 160/184 1.4/2.4, restyling 2.

Which version to choose

City, FWD, lowest mass: restyling 1.0 MT — 999 cm³, 3 Inline, Turbo, 120 hp, 190 Nm, Manual 6, mixed 6.0, 1320 kg, 175 mm. Versus original 1.6 MT 110 hp: 1.0 MT has +10 hp, −70 kg, 0–100 11.2 vs 11.8, top 185 vs 170, but mixed 6.0 vs 5.9 and a 3-cylinder Turbo instead of naturally aspirated 4.

Cheapest-running measured diesel: original 1.6 MT 120 hp Diesel — mixed 4.6, CO2 120, Euro 5, 1465 kg, 175 mm, 10.2 s, 178 km/h. Restyling 1.6 MT Diesel is the Euro 6 twin: same 10.2 s and 178 km/h, mixed 4.9, 1430 kg (−35 kg), CO2 129. Restyling 1.6 DSG matches mixed 4.9 with Robotic 6 if you do not want a clutch.

AWD diesel with numbers filled in: original 2.0 AT 170 hp — 8.9 s, 201 km/h, mixed 5.9, city 7.0, highway 5.2, CO2 155, 1610 kg, 210 mm, gross 2080. Restyling 2.0 AT 170 hp is the same 8.9 s but top 196, clearance still 210, kerb 1660 (+50 kg), mixed not measured, CO2 173. If you want Manual AWD diesel: original 2.0 MT (9.5 s, mixed 5.1, 1505 kg, 198 mm) beats restyling 2.0 MT on mixed (5.1 vs 5.8) and mass (1505 vs 1540).

AWD gasoline with height: 2.4 AT 175 hp, 220 mm, 9.8 s, mixed 9.4, 1650 kg — same in original and restyling except restyling top speed 180 vs original 185. Original 2.4 AT 184 hp AWD is +9 hp and 8.7 s, but top speed, consumption, CO2, and kerb are not measured. Original 2.4 AT 184 FWD is the only FWD 2.4; 0–100, top, consumption, CO2, kerb not measured, clearance still 220.

Strongest small Gasoline after 2018: restyling 1.3 AT 180 hp AWD — 1332 cm³, 180 hp, 270 Nm, 8.5 s, 201 km/h, mixed 7.3, CO2 167, 1430 kg, 153 mm. Restyling 2 1.3 Turbo 4WD AT is the same 180/270/8.5/201/1430/153 on 9-speed Automatic but fuel 92 and mpg/CO2 not measured. Restyling 2 1.3 Turbo AT is the FWD 6-speed twin: same 180 hp and 1430 kg, 0–100 and top not measured. Do not confuse with restyling 1.3 AT 150 hp FWD: same 1332 and 270 Nm, but 150 hp, 6-speed, 9.4 s, 196 km/h, mixed 6.1, 1320 kg, and 131 mm.

1.4 family: original 1.4 MT 140 (9.3 s, 194 km/h) is the quicker 140 than restyling 1.4 MT (10.9 s, 181). Restyling 1.4 DSG 140 Turbo is the 9.5 s / 200 mm / 1380 kg FWD Robotic alternative. Restyling 1.4 AT 170 AWD is the 8.8 s / 196 km/h / 198 mm / 1470 kg nine-speed. Original 1.4 MT 160 FWD is the catalogue’s fastest 0–100 (8.3 s) but consumption, CO2, kerb, top speed not measured. Original 1.4 MT 160 AWD trades that for 250 Nm, AWD, 200 mm, 1444 kg, mixed 8.7; 0–100 not measured. Original 1.4 AT 150 FWD: 275 Nm (highest 1.4 torque), 9 Automatic, 198 mm; 0–100, top, consumption not measured.

Reliability / problems. This file has no failure rates, engine-mount life, or review scores. What it does record: Euro 5 only on original 1.6 MT Diesel 120; Euro 6 on the rest where class is listed; eco class not measured on original 1.4 MT 160 AWD and on both restyling 2 cars. If you need a complete measured sheet (0–100, top, three consumptions, CO2, kerb, clearance, wheels), the densest rows are restyling 1.4 MT 140, restyling 1.4 AT 170, restyling 1.0 MT, restyling 1.3 AT 150 and 180, restyling 1.6 MT / 1.6 DSG, restyling 2.0 MT, original 1.6 MT 110, original 1.4 MT 140, original 1.6 MT Diesel, and original 2.0 MT / 2.0 AT 140 / 2.0 AT 170.

Practical shortlist. Daily FWD gasoline with full figures: restyling 1.3 AT 150 or 1.0 MT. Daily FWD diesel: original 1.6 MT 120 Diesel, or restyling 1.6 MT if you want Euro 6. AWD with height: 2.4 AT 175 (220 mm) or original 2.0 AT 170 (210 mm, 201 km/h, mixed 5.9). AWD with the best kg/hp after 2018: restyling 1.3 AT 180 or restyling 2 1.3 Turbo 4WD AT (both ~7.9 kg/hp) — accept 153 mm. Avoid treating restyling 2 1.3 Turbo AT as a known sprint/economy car: those cells are not measured.
