Jeep is planning to launch the facelifted
Renegade, the revised Cherokee towards the end of the year in Europe, before
the two new models be joined shortly after by the all-new Wrangler.
As for the updated Renegade, Jeep plans to give it a
redesigned front end that includes a new grille, new lighting signature and new
fog lights, as well as a new rear bumper along with refreshed taillights.
The new exterior styling is expected to draw inspiration
from the company’s latest models, including the Wrangler and the Cherokee. The
headlights are expected to be LED units that mimic the design of those in the
Wrangler while the new front bumper will have its fog lights repositioned.
The interior of the smallest Jeep available is
expected to remain pretty much unchanged, given that the company only recently
updated the Renegade’s cabin with new seat fabrics, bezel treatments, a pair of
new storage compartments and a revised Selec-Terrain shifter.
The updated 2019 Jeep Renegade is expected to offer
the company’s latest driver assistance systems, as well as smaller revisions to
its off-road arsenal. We still don’t know if Jeep plans to make any changes to
the Renegade’s engine range, which currently includes a turbocharged 160hp
1.4-liter and a bigger 180 hp 2.4-liter unit.
The facelifted Jeep Renegade is expected to break
cover towards the end of the year as a 2019MY, with sales to begin shortly
after.
