Jeep® Renegade North Star Edition Breaks Cover In Japan

Jeep® is giving its popular B-segment SUV a bold new personality in Japan with the launch of the Renegade North Star Edition. This limited-production model balances rugged Jeep attitude with premium outdoor-inspired style. Only 150 units will be available through Jeep dealerships across Japan, making this a rare treat for Renegade fans and collectors.

Based on the Renegade Altitude e-Hybrid, the North Star Edition builds on Jeep’s first mild-hybrid Renegade, which debuted earlier this year. Compact on the outside and spacious enough inside for weekend getaways, the Renegade remains a top pick for those needing real capability in tight urban environments. From narrow city streets to forest trails, the Renegade proves that size doesn’t dictate adventure.

Under the hood, the North Star Edition uses Jeep’s latest mild-hybrid setup, pairing a turbocharged 1.5-liter  gasoline engine with a 48-volt electric motor. The hybrid system not only boosts fuel efficiency but also sharpens acceleration when merging onto highways or tackling hills. Power is delivered smoothly and confidently, giving drivers the sense of capability Jeep owners expect.

Where this limited-run model really stands out is in its design and materials. Jeep Japan introduces a brand-new high-strength fabric seat, used for the first time in any Jeep vehicle. This ultra-durable material is said to be three times tougher than the fabric used in standard seats — the perfect match for adventurous lifestyles where wet gear, sandy clothes, and muddy paws are part of the routine. Green stitching and unique Jeep and North Star logos accent the interior, adding a fresh yet rugged vibe.

Inside, Jeep doesn’t hold back on giving buyers a genuine connection to nature. A dual-pane panoramic sunroof comes standard, flooding every seat with natural light and sky views — ideal for road trips, camping nights, or simply making the morning commute feel a little less boxed-in. A mix of black and green interior accents brings the exterior’s color theme indoors for a unified, premium feel.

Speaking of that exterior, the North Star Edition arrives in a new, deep Techno Green paint exclusive to this release. The moody green tone pops even more against a gloss black roof, darkened Jeep badging, and black 17-inch aluminum wheels. A bold hood decal featuring the “North Star” graphic and matching fender badges instantly signals that this Renegade is something special.

Despite the limited production, the Renegade North Star Edition doesn’t forget what makes a Jeep a Jeep — capability, confidence, and a spirit of adventure. The ride height and stance still allow drivers to navigate rougher terrain, while the strong unibody construction and engineering heritage ensure durability in daily life and beyond.

With an MSRP of 5,470,000 yen (about $36,000 USD, depending on currency rates), this Japan-exclusive edition delivers standout style and generous equipment for buyers who like their compact SUV to stay true to Jeep values. It’s an urban-ready machine with a genuine outdoor soul — something you don’t always find in this size class.

If the Renegade North Star Edition ever finds its way stateside, I think American Jeep fans would happily welcome a stylish compact hybrid that refuses to sacrifice capability.
