Used Jeep Renegade gains prominence in Japan as a robust and affordable alternative starting at 1.5 million yen
The current automotive scenario shows great interest in North American vehicles, but the pre-owned segment from US brands offers attractive options. Analyzing Jeep, an iconic brand associated with American culture since the post-war period, the used Renegade model market presents itself as a promising alternative for the streets of Japan, especially for those looking for the brand’s robust essence in a more compact and accessible format.
Although the most powerful configurations with 4×4 drive are rarer, it is possible to find them on the market for around 2.5 million yen. The Jeep Renegade, in its current generation (presented in 2015), uses the same structural base as the Fiat 500X. Predominantly sold with front-wheel drive (FF), the model also has editions equipped with four-wheel drive (4WD).
Launched in 2015, the current Jeep Renegade was built on the same platform that serves as the basis for the Fiat 500X. Most vehicles have front-wheel drive (FF), but there is the option of purchasing a variant with an all-wheel drive system (4WD).
The Renegade marked Jeep’s debut in the compact SUV segment in 2015. Initially, engines included a 1.4L turbo for front-wheel drive versions and a 2.4L aspirated for 4×4 configurations. From September 2019, the engine offering was unified with a 1.3L turbo, and later the model received innovations with plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid versions.
Evaluating the purchase of a used Jeep Renegade: what to look for?
For those looking for the latest version with front-wheel drive and a 1.3L turbo engine, the total investment is close to 2.1 million yen. If the preference is for an all-wheel drive model, despite the lower supply, it is possible to find examples for around 2.5 million yen.
Those looking for an option with an even more attractive price can look for previous versions, equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, available at 1.5 million yen.
