Underneath, the next Renegade will use the new STLA Small platform that will serve as the replacement for the CMP/e-CMP architecture the Avenger sits on. It will be introduced in 2026 by the next Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 208; we know this platform can accommodate both hybrid and electric powertrains, with EVs able to offer more than 300 miles of range.

What will the new Jeep Renegade look like?

We’ve not seen any prototypes or teaser images of the new Renegade yet, but our exclusive image shows what the new Renegade could look like. This being a Jeep, it will be a butch and boxy SUV with a seven-slot grille, squared-off wheelarches, very short overhangs and plenty of chunky cladding as you can see in our exclusive image. 

Like the current model, the new Renegade won’t be designed to go rock crawling through Utah’s Moab desert, but off-road ability is still important for a Jeep. Short overhangs not only help to maximise interior space, but give SUVs better approach and departure angles when tackling rugged terrain. Similarly, higher-than-average ground clearance will help deliver a lofty driving position, but also benefit wading depth and the car’s ability to tackle any obstacles.

In recent years, Jeep has made some big leaps forward when it comes to interior design, quality and technology, and we expect to see this trend continue with the next-generation Renegade. We suspect it will have a similar interior to the latest Compass, meaning it’ll include big clear dual displays, lots of chunky physical controls and materials picked for their durability. The new Renegade won’t be the most luxurious of small SUVs, but should suit the brand’s rugged image.

We expect the new Jeep Renegade will split the difference between the Avenger and Compass when it comes to pricing, too, so it should start at around £30,000.
