2022 Jeep Renegade fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 Jeep Renegade at 24–27 MPG combined; the 1.3L 4-cylinder turbo (FWD) is the most efficient and the 1.3L 4-cylinder turbo (AWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Read for lake-effect country

What counts on a 2022 Jeep Renegade from Michigan to Tennessee

None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2022 Jeep Renegade lines that matter for a Bowling Green winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.

Tire choices for squall and thaw

Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from 215/65R16 on 16-inch wheels to 235/45R19 on 19-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.

The oil grade on a January morning

Factory oil: SAE 0W-30, 4.8 qt per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. The 0W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.

Battery checks before the cold

The schedule includes a battery inspection at each oil change, with the terminals cleaned and tightened as required. Do it before the first cold snap: corrosion at the terminals adds resistance exactly when a frozen engine needs the most current from the battery. A load test each fall is worth adding once the battery is a few winters old.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

The 2022 lineup includes front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.

Trailer duty in the schedule

Peak trailer rating this year: 2,000 lb, for one configuration in the towing chart. On Appalachian grades the descent is the harder half of the trip: drop to a lower gear so the engine holds speed, and save the brakes for stopping. The I-24 grade at Monteagle in Tennessee and the long climbs on the West Virginia Turnpike both punish a heavy trailer.

Clearance for frozen ruts and hollow roads

Listed ground clearance: 6.7 to 8.7 inches. Two places in this region test it. One is a snowbelt side street after a squall, where frozen ruts form before the plow comes back. The other is a gravel road up an Appalachian hollow, where a high crown and washouts can catch a low underbody. Knowing the figure helps you choose a line instead of guessing.

Accessory belt: the cold-climate figure

The accessory drive belt's maximum interval drops to 37,500 miles under heavy conditions, and cold climates are named among them. A Great Lakes winter qualifies, so plan around the shorter number.

Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2022 Renegade. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.

2022 Jeep Renegade questions

How much oil does the 2022 Jeep Renegade take?

With a filter change: 1.3L Turbo, 4.8 qt / 4.5 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2022 Jeep Renegade use?
