The “Jeepster” Will Return For The 2021 Model Year:

Special Edition Renegade Returns...

The Jeep® brand reintroduced the “Jeepster” nameplate for the 2020 model year on the compact Jeep Renegade Sport. The special edition model paid homage to the original Jeepster which was produced from 1948 to 1950 and was developed to fill in a gap in the brand’s lineup left open from the passenger car segment. About 20,000 of the original Jeepster vehicles were made. Then in 1966, the brand introduced the C-101 Jeepster Commando, that vehicle held the Jeepster nameplate until 1972. Since then, two concepts have carried the Jeepster name, one a 1998 concept vehicle and one showcased at the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari.

Despite the Jeep brand trying to simplify its lineup offerings for the 2021 model year, the Renegade Jeepster will return for the new model year. The Renegade Jeepster is based on the entry-level Renegade Sport model but adds a lot of creature comforts to the budget-friendly Renegade. The Jeepster package includes the following…
