Jeep Renegade Performance Overview

Jeep’s smallest crossover in this data set spans 2015 to 2019, with 13 verified tests charting a compact, gasoline-only performance profile. Across those model years, the Renegade paired naturally aspirated and turbocharged four-cylinder power with the Tigershark name appearing in the range, and output running from 160 to 180 hp. The quickest recorded launch came early: the 2015 Latitude hit 0-60 mph in 8.6 seconds, establishing the model’s best figure in the available tests, while the 2015 Sport delivered the quickest quarter-mile at 16.4 seconds at 83 mph.

From there, the Renegade’s results stayed tightly clustered rather than stepping through distinct performance eras. Mid-range trims such as the 2015 Limited reached 60 mph in 8.8 seconds, showing little separation from the quickest version, while later off-road-focused variants traded acceleration for equipment and calibration. By 2017, the Deserthawk Trail Rated recorded 10.3 seconds to 60 mph, the slowest figure in the sample. Overall, the Renegade’s independently tested record from 2015 through 2019 centers on accessible sub-10-second acceleration, a 9.07-second average 0-60, and quarter-mile performance averaging 16.96 seconds at 80.9 mph.

How we verify Jeep Renegade performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Jeep Renegade trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
