All versions come with a new telematics unit and one year of free subscription service that allows owners to remotely lock, unlock, or start the Renegade with the Uconnect smartphone app. Several options, such as 19-inch wheels, the LED Lighting package, the Safety and Security package, and the Advanced Tech package, are now available on lower trim levels.

Pros
Lovable design, comfortable ride, capable off-roading with the Trailhawk.

Cons
Painfully slow, lousy fuel economy, limited storage.
