Used 2022 Jeep Renegade Islander for sale 

Apart from the minute safety changes, the 2022 Renegade would be a carry forward from the previous model as the exterior design saw a facelift recently with a revised bumper, new LED lights, and a slightly bigger grille. In terms of dimensions maybe this year the Renegade will be longer than the previous model. The 2022 model year will offer the same number of trims. For the hardcore off-roading enthusiasts there will be the top-of-the-line Trailhawk like usual. This trim shall start from about $30,000 this time but apart from the off-road upgrades, it would not offer much.

If you want the most premium experience then we suggest you go for the Latitude trim as it offers features such as dual-zone climate control and upgraded interior materials. The Sun and Sound package will add the Kenwood audio system, panoramic sunroof just like the case with the 2021 Renegade. With the Convenience package, you will continue to get the heated front seats, power-adjustable driver's seat, and a 115-volt power outlet. You can upgrade it with an all-wheel-drive system for just $1500 extra. This makes it quite a balanced package in terms of features as well as price.

2022 Jeep Renegade Trims and Configurations>>

The 2022 Jeep Renegade will carry the same 2.4L naturally aspirated inline -4 engine which gives out a moderate 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, which considering the capabilities of this particular Jeep is an outright joke. Moreover, the engine has not also been refreshed for ages now and does not satisfy the buyers with its performance figures. That Is the reason why buyers only consider the Jeep Renegade to be a goofy off-roader and not a city vehicle.

The transmission for the 2022 model remains the same worthy 9-speed automatic that sends all of the power to the front wheels, although in the case of the higher to all the wheels too. With everything remaining the same the 2,000 lbs towing capacity of the Renegade is also left unchanged.

As nothing in terms of engine configuration is changing hence the handling would be the same as the current 2021 MY vehicle and the performance as well. Although the rumors of a hybrid vehicle may enhance some torque values, although that is the case when it is actually a fact, till then we would only expect it to be at least better in terms of the performance figures from the present vehicle.

The MPG figures also remain the same with no change in the engine options and dimensions of the vehicle. The Jeep Renegade is a proper off-roader that was never a fuel-efficient car in the first place. With its standard 2.4L engine the MPG figures are 22/30/25 in city/highway/combined criteria respectively and only reduces if one chooses the AWD option to 21/29/24 in city/highway/combined respectively which is the worst when compared to its rivals. It will continue to offer the same 12.7 gallons capacity gas tank, which also is one of the smallest.

Jeep with the same MPG figures will not be liked by many but the ones expecting great MPG figures will have their eye on the hybrid models which may give Renegade an efficient stance in the segment if it offers it.

Interiors of the new 2022 Jeep Renegade will continue to be having a simple and minimalistic look to it and have no considerable changes made to it. Although the quality of materials and driver display design is good but cannot compete with most of its rivals. The headroom and legroom in the front and rear cabin is generous but in the rear cabin, three people can have a tough time.

The ergonomics inside will also remain the same as the present 2021 Renegade. The soft-touch materials feel nice and have decent comfort, especially in the front seats. Adding to it comes the panoramic sunroof which enhances the feel in the cabin and will continue to do so in 2022 as well. Thus, the interior of the Renegade shall remain geared towards ruggedness rather than a premium feel.

As nothing inside the interior is changing, hence the segment leader, the Ford Escape continues to have the best interior space inside. The Honda HR-V offers the most space on the inside while the Renegade feels the most cramped, while the Mazda CX-3 offers the most premium cabin.

Its design is only understood and loved by a certain class of people.

The Ford Escape delivers better performance as well as cargo space than the Renegade. Due to its bigger footprint, it also offers a much more roomy cabin. Along with that it also offers a fuss-free infotainment system that runs on Ford’s Sync-3 Software. Its feature list has been made keeping in mind an average American family.

The 2022 Jeep Renegade shall still remain our compact SUV recommendation if you are looking for a compact yet capable off-roading vehicle. Also, if you live in a snowfall-prone area, the Renegade can offer you more peace of mind than a regular SUV would. However, its cabin still remains a sore point of the package that it offers. It fails to feel premium on the inside even while costing much more than its rivals. Thus, if off-roading is a requirement and you want to explore the unbeaten path, the Jeep Renegade will suit your lifestyle. But if you are looking for a family-oriented SUV, there are better options available.
