2017 Jeep Renegade Sport 4x4

I have only owned the vehicle for a few days, so reliability is really unknown at this point. My Renegade replaces a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The 2012 Jeep Patriot was flawlessly reliable for five years.

Mrs.Linda

The jeep rides great. It handles very well. Not to mention it looks GOOD. It is the perfect size. It is easy on gas being a 4 cylinder. Who could ask for more from Jeep?

In Love with my new truck!

I have only had my Renegade for one week, and love it! Still a lot to learn, having just traded in a 16 year old Nissan, this is so high-tech! Fun to drive, comfortable!

most powerful four cylinder I have ever owned

Cannot believe it has a four cylinder engine, so much snap and power even on the hills, no lagging or hesitation, fun to drive

Fun Jeep to Own

This is my first Jeep purchase. I had liked the design of the Renegade since it was introduced and had been waiting for my old car to die before looking into them. I ended up liking the Trailhawk trim better than the others and opted for that one given it's more offraodability and extra ground clearance. It seems that the transmission issues are ironed out in the latest model and I have had zero problems with it. It actually is really fun to use in manual mode and responds perfectly to your needs. It is not going to win any drag races by any means. After a month of usage in the winter I am getting descent fuel economy. Right now averaging around 23 mpg. On a longer road trip I was getting 27. It seems to be getting better as I break it in and the weather gets warmer. The inside is very well laid out. Jumping from a 2004 vehicle this has everything I could ever need and comes standard on most models. The driver display is awesome and can be customized to show what you want from radio stations to the digital speedometer or trip computer. I have the bigger Uconnect display and navigation package which are great additions. Bluetooth functionality is great and can stream your music without issue. You can also hook up anything via USB cable and it will pick up those devices to play music from. For one of the smaller compact SUVs in this segment Jeep makes it feel very spacious in the inside. I love the viewing area in the front and with the added height of the Trailhawk you get much higher viewing angles. Coming from a sedan the rear seats are a little more spacious than what I had and am able to sit behind my own driver seat adjusted to my height. The rear cargo area is descent. Where it really is nice is when you fold down the seats to gain the whole back as cargo. Overall I love this Jeep. It is the most fun I have had driving a vehicle. It makes the everyday drives to work fun and exciting and I am always looking for more reason to drive this somewhere. I am looking forward to taking a long road trip this summer and to do some light off-roading in it.

I love everything about it.

I love my car so much! This is the first truck i've owned, and i'm never going back to sedans! It's efficient on gas and drives very smoothly.

Love it

Handles great with decent gas mileage for a jeep. Good size for us. Fits kid in the back with storage while still being able to fit in our garage.

Great Jeep

I have always owned a jeep and I love this new Renegade. It's sleek, rides nice and is still has lots of room and the cargo space is spacious for the size of the Jeep.
