Jeep Renegade Trailhawk Spied Testing Its Facelift in the Arctic Circle
The compact Jeep Renegade is receiving its first facelift, and spy photographers have caught the Trailhawk variant testing in the Arctic Circle.
Based on the camouflage, expect to see the bumpers, grille, headlights, and tail lights getting updated as part of the makeover. Changes are also expected inside the cabin, with a larger infotainment screen in the center stack, and similar climate control dials that recently debuted on the 2019 Jeep Cherokee.
A previously leaked image (below) indicated the Renegade will receive a reworked front fascia, which makes the front-end look a bit angrier than the current version of the crossover.
It’s unlikely Jeep will give the Renegade any new powertrain options, but there’s the possibility that existing engines will get a slight boost in performance.
