About the Jeep Renegade BU
The Jeep Renegade BU received a significant facelift in 2018, introducing the 'FireFly' T3 three-cylinder engine to the European market. While it retains the iconic seven-slot grille and boxy silhouette inspired by the original Willys MB, this trim is built on the FCA Small Wide 4x4 platform shared with the Fiat 500X. The Longitude trim serves as a popular mid-range choice, offering a balance of modern tech like the 8.4-inch Uconnect system with Jeep's signature chunky aesthetic. It is primarily a road-focused crossover, though its short overhangs provide better approach angles than many segment rivals.
