吉普正在对自由侠进行改款，最近谍照记者拍到了该车进行测试的照片。虽然这些照片从多个角度显示了新车，但由于车身进行了重度伪装，因此掩盖了新车外观的变化。自由侠改款车的前端采用了新的前脸，但车身伪装掩盖了这些变化。这辆测试车并没有采用新的大灯，这表明该车为前大灯预留了空间。从先前曝光的图片看，自由侠改款车升级后采用双色内饰，格栅边缘更锐利。车尾的伪装很好的掩盖了升级部分。车尾的掀背尾门也进行了改款，不过尾灯组并没有变化。这次谍照记者还拍到了新车内装，新的中控台清晰可见，其中信息娱乐系统仅了改款。中控台显示屏尺寸更大，目测超过目前的6.5英寸，显示屏周围不再环绕各种按键，下面是一个旋钮。目前还不清楚新车动力系统变化，现行版搭载2.4升自然进气和1.4升四缸涡轮引擎，消费者可选择前轮或全轮驱动。预计该车将作为2019款车型于年内发布。
Jeep Renegade Spied With Refreshed Body, New Center Stack
The Jeep Renegade has a refresh on the way, and new spy shots let us see the little crossover on the road. These photos provide more views of the body than the recently leaked photos. Unfortunately, this one wears considerable camouflage that conceals the changes.
The refreshed Renegade's front end features a new fascia, but the body cladding here hides the precise changes. This test mule doesn't have the new headlights from the one in the previous leak, which suggests this vehicle has placeholder units. The leaked images showed the Renegade with updates like new two-tone trim and sharper edges for the grille openings.
Unfortunately, the camouflage at the back does an especially good job of concealing the updates. Taped panels on the rear suggest revise sculpting for the hatchback. The taillights are the same as the current model, though. These spy shots provide a much better view of the refreshed Renegade's cabin. Jeep engineers keep most of the interior concealed, but the new center stack is visible. The changes match what's on view in the recent leak, including a revised infotainment system. The screen appears bigger than the existing 6.5-inch display – the largest size currently available in the Renegade. Buttons no longer surround it, and there are dials underneath.
There are no details about any mechanical changes for the Renegade yet. The current model is available with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder and a 1.4-liter turbocharged four. Buyers can select between front- or all-wheel-drive layouts.
Look for the refreshed Renegade to premiere at an auto show at some point in 2018. Expect it to go on sale in time for the 2019 model year.
