Jeep is preparing a “green” crossover Renegade and several other new products

The American brand, which belongs to the auto giant Stellantis, intends to launch at least three new models on the market over the next few years.

The multi-brand concern Stellantis held a presentation for investors in its North American office. The discussion focused on the further development strategy of the Jeep brand, and during the meeting, plans were announced to launch new products of this brand on the market: several models will appear in the lineup by 2027 (inclusive). Recall that at the end of last month, Jeep presented the serial crossover Wagoneer S, which will appear at dealers in the States this coming fall.

Another new product should debut before the end of this year: its role will be played by the brutal Recon SUV, which will turn out to be an all-electric alternative to the Jeep Wrangler. This SUV debuted as a concept back in September 2022, and preliminary information about its “filling” appeared in November last year.

Jeep's other upcoming new model will be the next-generation Compass crossover. Note that the current SUV has been produced since 2016; last year it underwent a modest update, which should help the model last until 2026, and later it will be replaced by the third generation Compass.

Also on the list of new Jeep products is a certain mid-size crossover, the name of which is still unknown to the company are kept secret. The company noted that it will belong to the D-segment. In the brand hierarchy, it will be one step below the Grand Cherokee.

The company also spoke in more detail about the inexpensive all-electric crossover, which was announced at the end of last month. As it turns out, we are talking about the new generation Jeep Renegade, which will have “green filling”. According to Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, this new product will take the place of an entry-level electric vehicle. According to the plan, the Renegade EV will enter the market in 2027.

The company said that the “green” new product will remain called Renegade. By the way, most likely, the new generation will also have versions with internal combustion engines. The company has not yet provided details about the technology of the future SUV. It is possible that the Renegade EV will share the “filling” with the Citroen e-C3, which debuted in October last year (the Citroen brand also belongs to the auto giant).

Recall that the subcompact of the French brand, intended for Europe, is equipped with a single 113-horsepower electric motor located on the front axle, as well as a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with a capacity of 44 kWh. The range without recharging for this model is 320 km (when calculated using the WLTP cycle).

It is assumed that the starting price of the new Jeep Renegade with an all-electric “filling” will not exceed 25 thousand dollars (equivalent to approximately 2.23 million rubles). For comparison, for a Citroen e-C3 in Europe they ask for at least 23,300 euros (also about 2.23 million rubles).
