Built in Italy alongside the Fiat 500x, the 2018 Jeep Renegade is Jeep’s smallest vehicle.

Its Fiat-derived heritage and production location also make it the first Jeep to be produced completely outside North America.

The Renegade, while not able to tow in certain configurations, is offered with dedicated off-road packages and terrain-management options. Several packages are available that add a high degree of customization to the existing trim levels, notably a “MySky” roof panel system that allows the entire top of the vehicle to be opened into two large sunroofs for an open-air feel.
