Jeep is bringing back the Renegade, confirming that a new generation of its smallest SUV will arrive by the decade’s end as part of an ambitious plan to expand its European lineup. The original model has been a key player for the American brand since 2014. Still, its successor will have to find its place in an increasingly crowded market where electrification is becoming harder to ignore.
Announced at the Paris Motor Show this week, the comeback is part of Jeep's broader strategy to offer up to six models in Europe by 2030. The automaker hasn't revealed when the next-generation Renegade will debut or provided technical details, but it has made clear that electrification will play a major role in its future.
