Those who prefer an automatic transmission will enjoy the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine, rated at a respectable 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft. With its nine-speed transmission, the 2.4-liter Renegade returns a lovely 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive and 21 city, 29 highway with all-wheel drive. All that power makes commuting easy.
