Expert 2020 Jeep Renegade review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article

What Is the 2020 Jeep Renegade?

The Jeep Renegade is a subcompact SUV with seating for five people. It comes standard with a 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. A 177-hp, turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder is also available. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are offered, and competitors include the Chevrolet Trax, Honda HR-V and Hyundai Kona.

What’s New on the 2020 Jeep Renegade?

A Kenwood premium stereo is now available for all trim levels but the Sport.

What Features in the 2020 Jeep Renegade Are Most Important?

Standard convenience features include cruise control, heated side mirrors and air conditioning. Available features include a panoramic moonroof, leather-trimmed seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, and navigation. Available active safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist and automatic high-beam headlights. For anyone who’s serious about off-roading, the Trailhawk is one of the most capable subcompact SUVs you can buy.

2020 Jeep Renegade Vs. 2020 Chevrolet Trax: How Do They Compare?

The Renegade and Trax have a lot in common besides their city-friendly proportions. The Trax offers the higher seating position and available all-wheel drive many SUV shoppers want, but it doesn’t go as far as the Renegade does in Trailhawk form. If we’re being honest, however, not many subcompact SUV owners are venturing deep into the woods. The Chevy’s four-cylinder engine is weak, but the Trax does offer a lot of standard tech features.

Should I Buy the 2020 Jeep Renegade?

The Renegade drives well and features a quiet cabin filled with clever design details. As we’ve pointed out, the Trailhawk has excellent off-road credentials. We’ve found the nine-speed automatic transmission to be balky at times, so a test drive consisting of city, suburban and highway driving is recommended before purchasing.

    Owning my 2020 Jeep Renegade Limited has been an absolute

    Owning my 2020 Jeep Renegade Limited has been an absolute joy. This SUV strikes the perfect balance between style, comfort, and capability. From the moment I got behind the wheel, I was impressed by its smooth ride, responsive handling, and surprisingly spacious interior. The premium features—like the leather-trimmed seats, intuitive Uconnect infotainment system, and advanced safety technology—make every drive comfortable and convenient. Whether I’m commuting in the city or taking a weekend getaway, the Renegade Limited handles it all with ease. What really stands out is its versatility. The 4x4 capability gives me confidence in any weather condition, and the fuel efficiency is great for an SUV of its size. Plus, the unique design turns heads wherever I go—Jeep really nailed the balance between rugged and modern. If you're looking for a compact SUV that delivers reliability, technology, and a sense of adventure, the 2020 Jeep Renegade Limited is a fantastic choice. I couldn’t be happier with mine!

    Worst Car I've Ever Owned

    I've had nothing but problems. I'm at 55,000 miles and it completely died. The first year was spent fighting the start/stop system not functioning correctly. Regardless of your opinion on S/S, the system should work as designed. Because it constantly showed S/S not ready: battery charging, I believe I was having parasitic drain on my main battery. Then, my app started popping messages about powertrain issues. I moved away from the dealership where I bought it, and the nearby dealership was unable to find any issue. I no longer get ANY messages through the app; it seems like the solution was to turn off notifications... Recently, I'm getting an overheat warning within 10 mn of vehicle start up in 30 deg MN weather, after gas ups, on acceleration onto highways. Before I can even pull off the highway, it returns to normal temp. Once, this was accompanied by catastrophic check engine light, start/stop system warning, and significant misfires. Took to dealer, they flashed the PCM. Two days after picking up, same story with the overheating. After a week of random overheats (with continuous fluid top-offs), it refused to restart. All this in 55,000 miles. My first Jeep. Worst car experience. Won't buy another Jeep.

    Comfortable ride, I enjoy the driving experience. Although not the greatest gas mileage, it is fun to drive. I am waiting to drive it in the snow.

    Best car I have owned

    My favorite vehicle I have owned and I am 62! I have Latitude trim with the Winter warmth package. Have owned for almost a year now and still love it and issues. Actually I wasn’t very impressed with the base sound system so upgraded that at car toys which was well worth it for me. Other than love it it . Averaging 29 mpg mixed.
