Love/ Comfortable, stylish, dependable, affordable

The Jeep Renegade is very comfortable to drive, the seats are able to pull forward and push back to make it a comfortable driving experience for any size/ height. The interior design is beautifully rugged. This will not be my last JEEP purchase, for sure.

First new car in almost 20 years.

This car exceeded my expectations. Was concerned about legroom and wasn't disappointed. Media center upgrade was a welcome surprise. Can easily take this on weekend trips without sacrificing comfort

She’s Gorgeous

I was a little hesitant on buying the car at first because I wasn’t the biggest fan of the look itself but it grew on me.. QUICK!! It’s such a comfortable drive, very spacious, and the factory speakers are better than I thought!!

Good car as long as you get the warranty

The Renegade meets all my needs, but has been at the dealer multiple times for things like the alarm going off while the car is in motion, and The radio screen would disappear. Thankfully each time the dealer was able to fix the issue.

Capable small SUV, but....

I enjoyed having this Renegade, but ultimately, the oil consumption and MPG just made it not worth the hassle. It's a very capable off road vehicle. MPG is barely better than what I used to get in my XJ. The culprit is the 9sp auto that is STILL not perfected even after all these years of the same issues in FCA vehicles. And the oil consumption? They switched to the super thin oil to squeeze out fuel efficiency....SO I get bad mile per gallon AND have to constantly monitor my oil levels? NO thanks. Bought it new, drove it 2 years, traded in for an older, more reliable vehicle.

Needs work.

I love my 2018 Renegade!!! It is fun, I drive it every day! And I work off road on the farm on the weekends. I completely customized it just like people do Wranglers. The issue I have it uses oil like no tomorrow and I have to add oil once a month! For a vehicle that only has 22k miles it should never use oil. I have my 2013 Toyota Camry, my 08 Honda Civic and my 1986 F250. Non of the use oil!!! Second if I take the 2018 renegade on the internet it over heats and the a/c turns off. I talked to service twice about this issue and they said Jeep said it is normal for the It to do so. Why did I pay 28k for a Jeep I can not drive with my family to FL with A/C? If I want a Jeep with no A/C I would have bought a old CJ for 4500 dollars!!!

Nice AWD car.

Since I bought in mid summer, I haven't had the chance to see how it performs in the snow. I've owned 3 other AWD vehicles in the past, so I'm anxious to see how it compares to the ones from my past. So far I'm pleased. My main criticism at this time is the lack of storage bins. For a car of this size there should've been more. Also, the most accessible storage bin in most cars is the console; this one is too far back.
