Promoted | Jeep Renegade 4xe Plug-in Hybrid: how it's electrifying off-road adventure

This electrically boosted performance allow for more precise and controlled off-roading, thanks to separately operated axles, the additional electric torque and a smooth six-speed automatic gearbox – while also delivering a powerful on-road 0-62mph dash of just 7.1 seconds.

Hill Descent Control gives you the confidence to tackle any gradient, while five different Selec-Terrain traction control settings on the range-topping Trailhawk trim let you easily pick the right power delivery for your chosen terrain.

A wade depth of up to 40cm and class-leading lean angles mean the Renegade 4xe Plug-in Hybrid will keep you moving across any terrain, while Powerloop four-wheel-drive technology uses a small engine-mounted electric motor to provide voltage to the system – even when the 11.4kWh lithium-ion on-board battery is low on charge. This means no matter how long you’re in the wilderness, the adventure can continue.

But four-wheel-drive isn’t just about off-roading. The on-demand Jeep Active Drive Low system gives confidence-inspiring grip in all conditions, on all road surfaces - making every journey safer, more comfortable and more fun. Plus, with a 1150kg towing capacity you can bring something extra along for the trip if needed.

Charging that’s easier and cheaper

Even with its immense off-roading capabilities, the Jeep Renegade 4xe Plug-in Hybrid is just at home on the road as it is off it – and it all starts with charging. At home, the six-metre-long Mode 2 cable has a domestic three-pin plug for charging up to 3kW, while home-installed wall units can charge at up to 7.4kW, giving you a full battery in just 1h40m.

Out on the open road, you can easily charge your Renegade 4xe at any public charge point with a Mode 3 cable. The My Uconnect Mobile App and My easy Charge card help you find your nearest available charge point and make paying for recharging even easier.

More efficient and refined on-road

The Renegade 4xe offers three different driving modes to give you the best blend of efficiency or performance. In Electric mode, the 11.4kWh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 26 miles (WLTP combined) of refined, all-electric zero-tailpipe emissions driving. As most drivers only travel between 20-30 miles a day, this means the Renegade 4xe can handle most trips on electric power only – thus saving you money with cheap overnight charging at home and exemption from congestion zone charges.

When travelling further afield, e-Save mode preserves charge in the battery by purely using the petrol engine, while the Battery Charge function actively recharges the battery up to 80% – meaning you can go further, more efficiently. eCoasting technology further boosts range by recovering lost electricity while travelling downhill. This energy is fed back into the battery for later deployment.

Hybrid mode combines the petrol engine with the electric motor to deliver strong performance and great refinement – all the while emitting CO2 emissions below 50 g/Km and achieving up to 135mpg (WLTP combined), saving you money on both tax and fuel.

Brilliantly versatile SUV practicality

With plenty of space for five, 330 litres of versatile luggage space and oodles of in-car tech and safety features, the Jeep Renegade 4xe Plug-in Hybrid isn’t just a capable off-roader and an efficient cruiser – it’s everything you need from an adventurous SUV.

With an abundance of personalisation features ranging from paint to wing mirror covers, and decals to grilles, the Renegade 4xe will certainly turn heads. In the back, cleverly packaged underfloor batteries mean the boot space is identical to that in the standard Renegade, and is accompanied by clever features like luggage netting, a cargo bag and premium floor mats that ensure the Renegade is ready to tackle any family trip or off-road excursion.

In the cabin, robust high-quality materials make for a stylish interior, while ergonomic seating and versatile luggage compartments ensure that long journeys are a breeze.

Up front, the driver is greeted by a crisp 7-inch digital instrument screen, boasting a customisable interface with all the driving information you need. Alongside sits a striking 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment display featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the ultimate smartphone integration. Jeep Uconnect Services add further connectivity features, letting you communicate with your Renegade 4xe remotely with your smartphone – everything from vehicle status to wi-fi hot spotting can be controlled.

Finally, safety. Over 60 safety features – such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Lane Departure Warning Plus – help you to keep you and your occupants safe on the road.
