Stellantis’ Jeep brand plans to reintroduce the Renegade nameplate by 2030 as it expands its European range to as many as six models.

Speaking at the Paris Motor Show, Jeep Brand Europe head Xavier Peugeot presented the roadmap and confirmed that the nameplate will return to underpin the brand’s volume alongside the smaller Avenger, Jeep’s first fully electric SUV.Top of FormBottom of Form

Jeep expects the expanded range to address around 90% of Europe’s SUV market.

The Renegade recorded more than 610,000 deliveries in Europe after its 2014 debut, while the Avenger has reached nearly 300,000 sales since launch in 2022.

Stellantis ended Renegade production at Melfi, Italy, in 2025, following more than ten years of activity. The model had already been discontinued in the US and Canada in 2023.

The future Renegade will sit alongside the Avenger and the Compass.

Jeep will also return to Europe’s D-SUV segment, beginning with the Recon and followed by another D-segment model due in 2028.

Jeep’s product pipeline will use a “multi-energy”, “multi-platform” approach rather than exclusively battery-electric drivetrains.

The company said the approach will retain powertrain choice across regions, and every European model will offer a four-wheel-drive variant.

Beyond 2030, Jeep intends to develop compact, electrified urban mobility solutions.

Xavier said: “We confirm our 2030 roadmap, based on capable, compact and electrified vehicles, inspired by Jeep’s iconic DNA, such as Renegade, still providing freedom to go wherever life takes our customers.”

Separately, Stellantis announced in August that the next-generation Jeep Cherokee will be the first US vehicle assembled on the STLA One platform.

Stellantis describes STLA One as a cornerstone of its FaSTLAne 2030 strategy, announced in May 2026.

FaSTLAne 2030 is the company’s latest strategic plan as it seeks a turnaround.

Stellantis says the €60bn ($67.17bn), five-year programme is intended to accelerate growth and profit.
