While designing 2015 Jeep Renegade, designers faced a tough challenge in trying to combine standard robust look of other Jeep vehicles with cute Italian rounded small car exterior. They were totally up to their task and the crossover vehicle they made will definitely enter the exterior design text books. All the essential features of Jeep design are incorporated in small, but functional Fiat 500L chassis, which offers much lighter weight, and therefore higher fuel efficiency.

Interior of new Jeep Renegade

2015 Jeep Renegade interior also has superb design. Black tones are dominant, with red contrast stitching and upholstery and door trim made out of quality materials. There is enough leg and head space in front and back seats. Seats are relatively comfortable and there is plenty of cargo space, although everyone thought this is might be a flaw of this weird crossover. 12,7 cubic feet of cargo area, plus additional 18 cubic feet if the back bench is folded is more then enough cargo space, even for families going on vacation. One of the best features of Renegade’s interior is its My Sky roof made out of removable fiberglass panels, that make this vehicle almost like convertible in hot summer months. From hi tech Renegade has two touchscreen displays, one is 6,5 inches and it is placed on the dashboard and the other is a seven inch TFT display on instrument cluster.
