Jeep® has expanded its Renegade and Compass range following the addition of two new special edition hybrid models. The new Renegade Upland Special Edition and Compass High-Altitude Special Edition will both be available to order in April 2023 with prices starting from £36,500 and £35,080 respectively.
Unique features
The Renegade Upland Special Edition cabin features bronze MetaKrome painted finishes on front speakers and air vent bezels, along with fully washable seats. On the Compass High-Altitude Special Edition, a bronze MetaKrome finish enhances the entire profile of the dashboard. On both models, exclusive black cloth bucket seats with bronze inserts and Techno-leather steering wheel complete the offer.
The Compass High Altitude Special Edition features unique black details and body-coloured bumpers with mudguards that enhance its shape, combined with the exclusive 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels. The interior is characterised by a set of cloth and vinyl seats with two-way powered lumbar adjustment, enriched by red stitching also running along the entire dashboard.
Based on the popular ‘Limited’ trim, the Jeep Renegade Upland and Compass High Altitude Special Editions feature cornering fog lamps and full LED headlights with auto-high beam and roof rails. Inside the Renegade’s cabin, a 7-inch TFT cluster display and Uconnect with an 8.4-inch touchscreen are included, while the Compass comes with a 10.25-inch TFT colour display and Uconnect with a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay can be paired with the system.
The Renegade Upland and Compass High-Altitude Special Editions are available in Alpine White, Black, and Colorado Red. The Upland is also available with adventurous Sting Gray and Shade Blue colours for a total of five exterior options. All options – except for the solid black - can be matched with a two-tone black roof, for an even more customisable look.
In terms of safety, both special editions are equipped with a full pack of safety and security features, including standard Forward Collision Warning, Active Lane Management System and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Driving performance
The new Renegade Upland Special Edition is offered in 240hp 4xe Plug-In Hybrid form, integrating two electric motors and an 11.4 kWh battery pack with a fuel-efficient 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine and six-speed automatic transmission. The increased torque generated by the electric propulsion system and the ability to adjust it with great precision ensures even greater four-wheel-drive capability on any terrain.
Simultaneously, the Renegade is ideal for everyday driving in the city as, in full-electric mode, it allows customers to travel with zero emissions with an average range of 31 miles. In addition, CO2 emissions are lower than 50g per km in hybrid mode.
Offered with the Jeep e-Hybrid engine, the Compass High Altitude Special Edition guarantees a versatile and relaxing hybrid driving experience and offers 130 hp and 240 Nm of peak torque, coupled with a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Eric Laforge, Head of Jeep Brand Europe, commented: “The Jeep Renegade and Compass models are two of the Jeep SUVs that best express the unique brand values of Freedom, Adventure, Passion, and Authenticity. Both Upland and High-Altitude Special Editions are fully equipped to handle both smooth roads and the rockiest off-road terrain and allow customers to ‘Go Anywhere and Do Anything’.”
