2027 Jeep Renegade Preview.

After an 8 year run, the cute little Jeep Renegade disappeared from our land in 2023. And it seems an all-new one is on its way for 2027.

Just a few days ago, Stellantis unveiled its plans for the future. And Jeep will be getting most of its US investment money. Which will include a new “non-EV” powertrain for the Recon. And other news as well, including future hybrid models and updated platforms for several North American vehicles. Apparently, a quick image of a new small Jeep model was also shown to the press during the presentation. The image above shows what the next-generation Renegade could look like. (It is not the actual image shown by Stellantis)

A rather strange move since Jeep has been offering the small Avenger in Europe for a few years now. It came out as an EV and is now available in other powertrains as well. But the Avenger is already about 5 inches smaller than the old Renegade. Which is rather strange, since the Renegade would normally be slotted under the Avenger in Jeep’s growing lineup of compact SUVs.

The car shown at the investor days also looks a bit like the new 2026 Jeep Compass, which is not sold in the US yet, but is expected here next year. However, the Compass is longer than both the Avenger and the Renegade. It also appears more upscale and expensive than either smaller model. And, we have already seen the new Compass…

The one image quickly shown by Stellantis could also show a new US-only model, since we’re not getting the Avenger. Maybe it is also that $25,000 Jeep EV Carlos Tavares had promised us a couple of years ago. Now available as a Hybrid. Or who knows what, really. Stellantis could still surprise everyone with a completely new strategy for smaller Jeeps in North America.

Either way, a new small and blocky cute Jeep is on its way…
