Fiat Group Automobiles UK has revealed pricing for the all-new Jeep Renegade small SUV.

Prices will start at £16,995 for the basic front-wheel drive 1.6-litre eTorq Evo 108bhp Sport rising to £27,995 for the top-end 2.0-litre MJet 167bhp 4WD Auto Low Trailhawk model.

The brand’s first model to be built in Italy will be available in four different trim levels – Sport, Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk – equipped with a range of turbo-diesel and petrol engines and available in four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive configurations.

The 4x4 models incorporate a rear axle disconnect that switches between two- and four-wheel-drive for reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn’t needed.

Head of brand at Jeep UK Damien Dally said: “We have all been eagerly awaiting Renegade – here at Jeep, our customers, dealers and the media – and its arrival is now just a few weeks away.”

“It’s exactly what the Jeep brand needs now and certainly, we have seen a huge interest in this exciting new car. Jeep is the original ‘Go Anywhere, Do Anything’ brand, and we are confident that we can offer great cars at exceptional value to keep Renegade at the front of all prospective buyers’ minds.”

A special ‘Opening Edition’, limited to just 200 units will also be available at launch in alpine white or omaha orange, both incorporating a black painted roof and with a unique interior and 18-inch wheels.

Order books will open on January 6 next year, ahead of its arrival mid-February.
