Jeep Renegade Returns 2026: Bigger, Better SUV

Jeep is developing an all-new, second-generation Renegade, scheduled for arrival between 2026 and 2027. This successor aims to invigorate the brand's small SUV offering, positioning itself between the Avenger and Compass. The new Renegade is designed to cater to consumers requiring greater space and utility than the Avenger provides, without venturing into full-size family car territory.

Expected to measure approximately 4.25 to 4.3 meters in length, the next Renegade will compete with vehicles like the Dacia Duster and Vauxhall Frontera. Insiders suggest it will offer increased rear-seat and boot space, appealing to young families or those with active lifestyles. While official styling details are scarce, it is anticipated to retain Jeep's signature boxy silhouette and seven-slot grille.

The interior is expected to mirror the quality and technology found in the Compass, emphasizing durability and user-friendliness with physical controls. Powertrain options will include a confirmed pure-electric version, strongly expected hybrid variants, and at least one 4x4 model to uphold Jeep's off-road reputation. Early indications suggest a potential starting price around £30,000 in the UK.
