The infotainment screen looks a little larger than on the current Renegade. The Jeep Renegade has a refresh on the way, and new spy shots let us see the little crossover on the road. These photos provide more views of the body than the recently leaked photos . Unfortunately, this one wears considerable camouflage that conceals the changes. The refreshed Renegade's front end features a new fascia, but the body cladding here hides the precise changes. This test mule doesn't have the new headlights from the one in the previous leak, which suggests this vehicle has placeholder units. The leaked images showed the Renegade with updates like new two-tone trim and sharper edges for the grille openings. Unfortunately, the camouflage at the back does an especially good job of concealing the updates. Taped panels on the rear suggest revise sculpting for the hatchback. The taillights are the same as the current model, though. Revealed: 2019 Jeep Renegade For Europe Revealed … [Read more...] about Jeep Renegade Spied With Refreshed Body, New Center Stack
