Great value

There are nicer, more luxurious and comfortable small SUVs out there, but none for the value of the Renegade. I found it to be the best bang for the buck. Love how easy it is to drive and park. Also, the remote start has a really long range.

Four wheel drive

Like the four wheel drive, automatic start and keyless entry! Wish there was more space to put drinks. It rides rough like a jeep! I only had it 4 months so I can't really comment on reliability!

I call her Lilly!!

I am in LOVE with the Jeep! It was not the small SUV that I was after. But after the test drive I was thought okay this is a nice smooth ride...the they showed me how the whole roof of the Renegade comes off and I was SOLD!!

Fun Little SUV with real off road capabillty

Originally, I was buying this for my Son. But, now I don't want to give it up. I have owned many SUV's '99, '14 & '18 Durangos, Sequoia, Tahoe, Grand Cherokee, Pilot, CRV, and the Renegade is right up there with the best of these. While most "SUV's" have really become CUV's with low pofile's and seating position to get better gas mileage, Jeep stuck with an higher profile, seat position, and great visibility. I bought the Limited edition because I got a better deal with more options; otherwise, the Altitude package was what I set out to buy. I'm impressed that the Renegade performs exceptional off-road and seems to have some pretty low-gearing when in 4 lock mode. It has substantial ground clearance and a powerful little 4 cylinder. When compared to the CRV and RAV, the Renegade does have a few drawbacks: 2 row leg room is tight, lacks console and cargo space. But, in every other way, the Renegade is a Superior Vehicle. One quirky problem was that my A/C wasn't coming on. Turns out, it didn't have any Refrigerant, possibly from the Factory. Hopefully, not an undetectable slow leak.

Sexy, Cute from the city to the mountains.

This vehicle is more spacious than I expected for a subcompact. The trailhawk is loaded with features for improved visibility and a tight turning radius to make it a well-mannered, easily maneuverable in the city. Take it off road and you'll find it perfectly at home hauling a couple dogs for a romp in the hills. It's utilitarian styling says, "I'm at work, but I'd rather be in the mountains." It's not fast, but you don't feel short-changed in real world driving conditions. It has fantastic visibility and getting on the freeway is not a harrowing experience. It's comfortable and fun with an uncluttered, soft-touch dash, ample leg room, roof hight, and a responsive steering wheel that has a nice heft and good hand feel. Seating in the back is adequate, but not great for larger adults on longer trips with no reclining seat option. Way more fun than the Subaru crosstrek, higher quality interior than the Hyundai Kona; debuted in 2018, and the Chevy Trax is just a no. This is a vehicle that doesn't look like every other car on the road, and being a real Jeep, can take you anywhere you want to go.

This is the vehicle I have always wanted.

Where I live it has a lot of hills. This vehicle is the best in any kind of weather. I am raising two grandchildren and it is perfect and most of all very comfortable for all.
