Should I Buy the 2023 Jeep Renegade?
The Renegade drives well and has a quiet cabin filled with clever design details. For anyone serious about off-roading, the Trailhawk model is one of the most capable subcompact SUVs you can buy. However, we’ve found the Renegade’s nine-speed automatic transmission to be balky at times, and some of the SUV’s interior trim is low-grade.
