Since its debut in 2014, the Jeep Renegade has captivated global audiences as the brand’s first small SUV manufactured outside of the United States. Renowned for its rugged charm and robust performance, the Renegade has achieved remarkable success with nearly two million units sold worldwide. In Italy, it leads the pack among plug-in hybrid (PHEV) B-SUVs, powered by the innovative 4xe technology.

The 2024 Jeep Renegade continues to push boundaries with its upgraded features, including an advanced 10.1-inch infotainment system and a 10.25-inch TFT digital cluster. These enhancements not only elevate the driving experience but also underscore Jeep’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with its legendary off-road capability.

Introduced alongside the Renegade in 2020, the Jeep Compass swiftly cemented its status as a best-seller in Italy’s competitive C-SUV market. Combining stylish design, impressive performance, and exceptional comfort, the 2024 Compass introduces advanced e-HYBRID hybrid technology and Level 2 Autonomous Driving capabilities. This forward-thinking approach ensures optimal efficiency and sustainable performance without compromising Jeep’s renowned capability.

Advancements in e-HYBRID Technology – 

Both the 2024 Renegade and Compass models feature state-of-the-art e-HYBRID powertrains, seamlessly integrating electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engines. This intelligent system adapts dynamically to driving conditions, offering silent electric propulsion for urban settings, efficient hybrid cruising for longer journeys, and robust combustion power for acceleration. With features like regenerative braking and a 48-volt battery pack, these SUVs not only reduce emissions but also enhance overall driving dynamics and efficiency.
