2023 Jeep Renegade

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Renegade.

Transmission Automatic 9-spd

The 2023 Jeep Renegade is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and EPA fuel economy ratings of 23 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. Its reliability profile is notably quiet for the nameplate, with only 20 owner complaints recorded—forward collision avoidance the most frequently cited area, and two recalls attached to the model year. That 20-complaint total represents the lowest figure across the 2015–2023 reporting span, a sharp contrast to the 559 complaints logged in 2017 and a signal that the 2023 model year marks the Renegade's most settled point in recent memory.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Jeep Renegade shows the lowest complaint count (20) across the nine‑year span, continuing a sharp decline that began in 2019 after a peak of 559 complaints in 2017. Recalls have also tapered, falling from four in 2015 and 2019 to just two in 2023, matching the low‑recall levels of the recent years (2020‑2022). Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) follow the same downward trajectory, dropping from 402 in 2015 to 151 in 2023, indicating fewer reported service‑related issues. The few remaining complaints in 2023 cluster around Forward Collision Avoidance and Electrical System functions, with no crash or fire complaints recorded. This trend suggests that the 2023 model benefits from the generation’s overall improvement in reliability, making it a comparatively strong year to purchase.
