A technology improvement
The introduction of the new state-of-the-art Infotainment system is a revolutionary element by enhancing the driving experience in several remarkable ways. First and foremost, it’s significantly faster, boasting a processing power that is 5 times quicker in terms of MIPs (Million Instructions Per Second). This translates to instant touch feedback, faster route calculations, and remarkably swift voice responses, ensuring drivers to stay connected and informed without any frustrating delays.
The Infotainment system also offers a bigger and more immersive experience with FullHD larger displays. With an impressive +40% increase in display area, it caters to customers’ visual needs, thanks to the generous 10.1-inch radio screen and the even larger 10.25-inch cluster. Moreover, the FullHD higher resolution, boasting 1024 x 768 or 1920 x 1200 pixels depending on preferences, provides crystal-clear visuals that are both sharp and vivid.
What truly sets the infotainment system apart is its exceptional connectivity. Being 100% fully connected, it ensures drivers to always be in touch with the digital world around them. With 4G capability, customers have access to a wealth of online resources, and the system supports over-the-air updates, securing that the vehicle remains up to date with the latest features and improvements. This new infotainment system is not just a technological advancement, it’s a step ahead in the way drivers interact with their vehicle, offering speed, size, and connectivity that elevate the driving experience to a whole new level.
The Infotainment and safety features are nothing short of impressive, with the range boasting a new Radio with a spacious 10.1-inch display and a new Cluster with a 10.25-inch screen. In addition, the range offers a new Digital Camera, USB A+C Type connectivity, and Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Safety features include Forward Collision Warning, TBM, and Connected Services.
Connected services and designed to meet daily needs.
Thanks to this new Infotainment system, using connected services becomes simple and fluid. Once the Jeep app® is connected to the vehicle, the interactions between the information in the application and the infotainment system communicate and synchronize naturally. No need to have your car keys to open, close your doors or turn on your lights when it’s too dark. All you need to do is have your smartphone at hand and use the remote function of its application. If this technology is part of user habits, the same goes for the regular updating of the TomTom navigation map, which is now carried out “over the air”. These services change lives and provide technological advances that offer comfort and save time.
Voice commands can support the journey at the rhythm of on-board navigation and can help in finding the way, anticipating the weather during the journeys, knowing the location of the nearest car parks, or charging stations available.
With an increasingly connected world, Jeep is at the forefront by offering the Amazon Alexa voice assistant included in the new Renegade 2024.

Powertrains choice
The latest Jeep Renegade 2024 offers a choice between two hybrid powertrains: the e-Hybrid and the 4xe plug-in hybrid. The e-Hybrid powertrain seamlessly manages the propulsion system by automatically switching between full electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engines based on factors such as the 48V battery state of charge, real-time driving conditions, and other monitored parameters. The Jeep e-Hybrid excels in delivering full electric propulsion during launch, at low speeds, while cruising, and during parking maneuvers. This innovative solution is designed to automatically replenish the 48V battery by recovering energy during braking or deceleration, eliminating the need for external recharging while still offering electric vehicle (EV) propulsion capability.
On the other hand, the 4xe plug-in hybrid utilizes both electric and endothermic engines. The electric propulsion system generates increased torque, allowing for precise adjustments and enhancing four-wheel-drive capability on various terrains, making it suitable for challenging off-road adventures.
With the MY24 Renegade will introduce an optimized new calibration of the engine and battery, both on e-Hybrid and 4xe PHEV that, combined with the introduction of the new A+ class 18’’ tires, will improve fuel consumption and CO2 emissions up to 5% (pre-homologation figures).
