As part of the update, the 2.4L Sport was fitted with a six-speed manual transmission and the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine produced an additional 10 kW and 40 Nm. The Jeep KJ.II Cherokee could be identified by its squarer front end, higher-set and chromed grille (with driving lights), flatter bonnet, extended front wheel arches, redesigned bumpers, air intake and tail-lights. The Renegade was differentiated by its free-standing fog lights, body-coloured grille, tail-light guards, grey bumpers and wheel arches, extra skid plates and wider tyres. Inside, there were new fabrics, instrumentation graphics, repositioned power window switches and reshaped seats.
