2017 Jeep Renegade Review

When it comes to crossover SUVs, the vehicle style can still trace its origins back to World War II and the Jeeps that G.I.s depended on to get them around in the most difficult conditions and terrain. Jeeps are still used in the military to this very day, and they have for decades been a go-to brand for civilians looking for high-performance vehicles that are fun to drive.

The Jeep Renegade is perhaps the epitome of styling and performance among subcompact crossovers and drivers in Lancaster, New Holland and Reading appreciate its performance, especially in those central Pennsylvania. Read a review of the 2017 Jeep Renegade, its features, options and performance, and test drive one today at New Holland CDJR.

2017 Jeep Renegade

The 2017 Jeep Renegade is really the full package when it comes to subcompact crossovers. It keeps a classic Jeep appearance, but combines it with lots of class and character. In driving, it features authoritative acceleration and agile turning and handling. The technology features deliver all you want and are easy and intuitive to use. Finally, the traction and off-roading in the Trailhawk trim can't be beat.

New this year are just a few tweaks to last year's model, including xenon headlights, keyless entry and ignition, and automatic high beams.
