Should You Buy a Used Jeep Renegade?
Thinking about a Jeep Renegade? It's an average bet for resale. The smartest pick is a 2019 (around $13,837) — it sits just past the steepest depreciation, so the first owner already absorbed the biggest loss. Favor the Sport trim for the best resale, and always pull a vehicle-history report before buying.
Pros
- Proven longevity — examples regularly list past 150,000 miles and still sell for around $8,594.
- The Sport trim holds its value best if resale matters to you.
What Affects Jeep Renegade Resale Value
The 2020-to-2019 transition is where the Renegade bleeds the most value, dropping 5.8% points in one year. That makes the 2019 Renegade a value sweet spot — the previous owner absorbs the worst of the drop, and you still get a relatively recent car.
Not all trims age alike — the Sport retains the most value (~46.8% depreciation) and the Justice Edition the least (~68.3%), a gap worth thousands when you resell.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best year to buy a used Jeep Renegade?
The 2019 Renegade is the value sweet spot: it sits just past the model's steepest one-year depreciation drop, so the first owner has already absorbed the biggest loss. Expect to pay around $13,837 for a typical example, and the Sport trim will hold its value best from there. As always, a well-maintained, accident-free example with average mileage for its age is worth paying a little more for than a cheap car with a questionable history. Whatever year you settle on, budget for a pre-purchase inspection — at a couple hundred dollars, it's the cheapest insurance against an expensive surprise down the road.
Which Jeep Renegade trim holds its value best?
The Sport retains the most value, depreciating about 46.8% on average across model years in our data. Trim choice can swing resale by thousands of dollars over a few years, because desirable trims stay in demand on the used market while stripped-down or niche trims sell at a discount. It's also worth comparing the trim premium new versus used — a pricier trim sometimes depreciates enough to become the smarter used buy. If you expect to resell, the Sport is the safer bet; if you're keeping the car long-term, buy the trim with the features you actually want and worry less about resale.
Methodology
Depreciation is computed from 1,194 real used-car listings. Each listing's asking price is normalized to a standard 12,000 miles per year for the vehicle's age, adjusted by a 5% asking-to-sale estimate, and compared against the original base MSRP for that VIN's trim. Headline 1/3/5-year figures reflect a smoothed retention curve fitted across all model years (the typical trajectory); individual years in the table above can run above or below it with market conditions.
