if you've had your eye on the jeep renegade trailhawk, but your budget's a little tight and you don't really plan on off-roading that much, jeep has a new solution: the 2023 renegade upland. it gives you most of the trailhawk's looks without paying for all the off-road extras. the upland is basically a latitude with an appearance package, and it's a modest upcharge of $595 over that basic trim for a starting price of $32,185. it adds the front and rear bumpers from the trailhawk, as well as 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires and windshield wiper de-icers. the different front fascia also includes cornering fog lights. inside, the upland gets unique cloth with a topographical map pattern. keep in mind, though, that if you're still wanting to do plenty of off-roading, you'll still want to go with the trailhawk, which starts at $1,355 more than the upland. the reason is that it includes a number of very useful upgrades for the task. it has a bit more ground clearance, a full-size spare tire, a full complement of skid plates, a rock mode, hill descent control, and a shorter final drive ratio enabling an extra low first gear for crawling over obstacles. one other note: jeep has also introduced the solar yellow exterior paint shown at top. it's available on any renegade trim as a $495 option. both the upland and the exterior color are now available to order from jeep dealers.
