Turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinders are standard equipment in every 2023 Jeep Renegade, but they are neither smooth nor speedy. The practical torque the engine produces at low RPMs, which helps the Renegade get moving quickly from a stop, is somewhat of a redeeming quality. It is linked to an all-wheel-drive system and an automated transmission with nine gears. The Renegade isn't built for speeding, but it can tow more than you'd imagine (up to 2000 pounds) and still hold its own. The Trailhawk, which is designed for off-roading, has a slightly stiffer ride than the other trim levels. The steering is responsive to the driver's inputs, and the car rolls less than one might anticipate given its Christmas tree-like design.
In conclusion, the basic turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine in the 2023 Jeep Renegade isn't the smoothest or the quickest, but it makes usable power at low RPMs, which aids in getting going from a stop. The Trailhawk model, designed for off-road use, has a somewhat stronger suspension, but despite its unusual boxy shape, it still provides a remarkably quick steering feel and low body roll.
