Jeep Launches Pre-Orders for New Trim 'Renegade 1.3'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Jeep is set to begin pre-orders from the 9th for the 2022 Renegade 1.3 model equipped with a 1.3ℓ MultiAir gasoline engine.

Since its first launch in Korea in September 2015, the Jeep Renegade has consistently been loved by young customers and has maintained its position as the best-selling imported compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) for several years. Last year, it also secured a top position in its competitive segment by selling a total of 2,708 units, a 46.1% increase compared to the previous year.

The newly introduced Renegade departs from the previous 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine and is now equipped with a 1.3-liter MultiAir gasoline engine. The 1.3-liter MultiAir gasoline engine delivers a maximum of 175 horsepower and a peak torque of 23.5 kgm. It produces maximum power and torque at relatively low RPMs.

The Renegade 1.3 offers consumers a variety of choices with a total of three trims. The official selling prices for the Renegade 1.3 are 41.9 million KRW for the Longitude 1.3 FWD, 45.4 million KRW for the Limited 1.3 FWD, and 48.4 million KRW for the Limited 1.3 AWD.

Jake Aumann, President of Stellantis Korea, said, “Over the years, the Renegade has expanded consumer choices by introducing edition models with unique concepts annually and applying new designs in facelifts, maintaining its status as the best-selling compact SUV for several years. In line with the eco-friendly trend, we will continue the legacy of the best-selling compact SUV with the 2022 Renegade, which features a downsized engine and improved efficiency.”

Meanwhile, Jeep plans to appeal more attractively to women and the MZ generation by collaborating with influencers from various categories, producing lifestyle concept content, and partnering with popular brands for the 2022 Renegade.
