2017 Jeep Renegade: Rugged and Family Friendly

Mt Airy Jeep



In its third model year, the 2017 Jeep Renegade fits itself into a rare niche of vehicle: rugged and tough, yet family friendly and full of fun. 

At Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram we like to cater to all our customers, especially those who look to venture off the beaten path. Those in Stuart, VA or Moravian Falls, NC know exactly what I mean. These are the drivers who need one vehicle that can do it all. One that can have fun on the weekends and haul the family around on the weekdays. If only there were such a vehicle…Oh wait, there is. Introducing the all-new 2017 Jeep Renegade. 

The 2017 Jeep Renegade may be the smallest Jeep crossover made by the company, but it still has plenty of room for you and your loved ones. How? Where it lacks in length it makes up with height and width. Once inside the 2017 Jeep Renegade it seems to be much larger than what it looks from the outside. Passengers can freely stretch and relax. And even taller passengers can ride or drive without feeling cramped. Behind the rear seat there is 18.5 cubic feet of storage space, and the back and passenger seats fold down, allowing for easy storage of longer items. Add its smooth ride and great gas mileage (24 mpg city and 31 mpg highway) make it a near- perfect family driver.

As far as performance goes, the turbocharged 1.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine does extremely well off-road. And because of its short stature and bulk on the sides it’s nearly impossible to get this thing stuck. A true off-roader’s dream vehicle. Plus, for those weekend trailblazers, the 2017 Renegade comes with the option of all-wheel-drive. This particular system uses all four wheels when engaged, unlike most other systems which engage all four wheels only when the vehicle begins to struggle.

So come and test drive the 2017 Jeep Renegade today and see why it’s our pick for the year’s rugged and family friendly vehicle.
