Standard Renegade models come with front-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive available on Sport, Latitude and Limited trims. The vehicle is built in Melfi, Italy with the designation BU/520, alongside the related Fiat 500X Goiana, Brazil with the designation B1 (alongside Jeep Compass and Fiat Toro ) and in Guangzhou, China codenamed BQ. The Renegade is the first Jeep product to be produced exclusively outside of North America and is sold in the North American, European, Brazilian, South African, Australian, Japanese and Chinese markets. The Patriot was discontinued after model year 2017, but the second generation Compass was launched in early 2017. At one time it was believed that the Renegade would replace the Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
