What's New in the 2018 Jeep Renegade?
The interior has been revamped, creating a little more storage space and adding a rearview camera as standard, along with Bluetooth phone connectivity, voice control, remote keyless entry and two more speakers for the Sport trim's audio setup. A 5-inch touchscreen now comes with the basic infotainment system. The top three trims are eligible for an optional 8.4-in touchscreen. See the 2018 Jeep Renegade models for sale near you
Which Renegade is the Best?
A Latitude version provides enough, um, latitude to explore the options list more fully. This approach can work for most buyers. If this is meant to be a weekend plaything, the most basic Sport version could easily suffice. Those with more extreme desires and deeper pockets should consider the Trailhawk.

How Much Does a 2018 Jeep Renegade Cost?
The 2018 Jeep Renegade comes in Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk trim levels.
The Sport ($19,640) includes 16-in steel wheels, hill-start assist, dual fixed sunroofs, manual side mirrors, power locks and windows, manual front seats with height adjustment on the driver's side, keyless entry/ignition, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, a rearview camera, a 3.5-in thin-film-transistor (TFT) driver information display, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a 12-volt outlet in the cargo bay, a 5-in infotainment touchscreen and a 6-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input. Remarkably, air conditioning is an option, along with cruise control, a USB port and power-adjustable/heated side mirrors.
The Latitude ($24,540) has those last four items as standard and adds 16-in alloy wheels, fog lights, automatic head lamps, roof rails, body-color door handles, a folding front passenger seat, ambient LED cabin lighting, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 7-in touchscreen, Bluetooth, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration and a second USB port.
The Limited ($26,840) brings 18-in alloy wheels, a 7-in TFT driver information display, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, leather upholstery, rain-sensing wipers, a heated steering wheel, a self-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped gearshift knob, an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, a 115-volt outlet and 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats with a pass-through hatch (60/40 seats are standard on lower trims).
The Trailhawk ($28,040) has an enhanced all-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing, hill-descent control and a terrain-selection function with a Rock mode as standard. It also receives a slight suspension lift, skid plates, tow hooks, all-terrain tires (on 17-in alloy wheels) and sport cloth upholstery. It doesn't have some of the Limited's upgrades, however, such as the self-dimming mirror or leather upholstery.
Many standard features on higher trims are available on lesser models as options. Additional extras include two roof upgrades (manually removable or power retractable/removable), an 8.4-in touchscreen with navigation, a 9-speaker Beats audio system and Wi-Fi.
