2023 Jeep Renegade loses base Sport trim, provides a number of packages

The presto-change-o at Jeep continues because the automaker revamps lineups and choices to arrange for electrification. The 2023 Jeep Renegade jettisons the bottom Sport trim, robotically lifting the entry-level value by practically $5,000 if value differentials do not drastically change. Jeep is not sharing MSRPs for the 2023 fashions but, however the 2022 Renegade Sport prices $26,290 in FWD after the $1,595 vacation spot cost, $27,690 with 4WD. The 2022 Renegade Latitude runs $30,740 earlier than choices. The revision makes the Latitude the bottom Renegade, and signifies that there are not any extra front-wheel-drive trims. 

Motion on the packaging and choices pages does not appear like excellent news for consumers on the funds finish. There is a new Premium Group for the Latitude that the configurator says installs a six-way energy driver’s seat, four-way energy passenger’s seat, each heated, plus a heated steering wheel, robotically dimming rearview mirror, windshield wiper de-icer, roof rails, and cornering fog lamps.
