  The Renegade is a Jeep it rides like a Jeep. It has very little frills but overall it’s cute and worth owning. Buy one and have fun!

  This crossover serves us well on and off the road. High-quality materials inside and out, and a nice handling/driving feel!

  A hidden gem! - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By J.R. - December 13 - 10:23 am

  I bought a 2017 desert hawk thinking that it would be great for snow and would at least hold strong residual value. Im blown away by how nice the car is. It tackles slick, hilly roads with no problem. It is exceptionally comfortable. It is loaded with modern technology. Its reliable and wows all of my friends. Dont believe everything you read, these are really top of the line in this price range.

  Jeep Renegade Worst Auto ever - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By St. Clair mellard - October 24 - 8:13 am

  The rare post from me: I’ve owned 20 plus cars and had at least that many rentals. The Jeep Renegade is by far, no question, hands down, the absolute worst vehicle. From mpg to comfort to transmission to clicky oil sounds when all gauges and dip stick say it’s full. It’s under powered which explains part of the mpg fiasco (I got better mileage in an F250). But the worst, pull your hair out it’s so frustrating, is the Radio/Nav. The console does this weird press the up arrow to go down in the menu - thought that was quirky during the test drive - but the Radio/Nav....If its not getting you lost, it’s playing music from some random station you didn’t pick. And it has this Love/hate relationship with my smart phone: it loves to place random calls when you plug in and hates when you would rather listen to radio while plugged in. Just stay away from this poorly designed, from top to bottom, inside and out, 2017 Trail Rated Jeep Renegade. This is the worst (add expletives) automobile in the universe

  Very surprised! Like a Miniature Wrangler - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By John S - June 10 - 1:39 am

  Handles great, acceleration is good, not a rocket but good. Not bad for a 4 banger. It feels tightly built, but comfortable and handles like a Wrangler 2 door somewhat. Lots of nice creature features. I love my little Renegade! It actually looks "beefy" next to my wifes patriot.

  Nice but buyer beware. - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By Deb - October 1 - 2:14 pm

  I have exactly what I want minus a/c didnt know I had to ask for it. It doesnt come with a spare tire. I have weird things happening with start up that Dealership would prefer to ignore and or do nothing about. It drives great. I like the 6 speed manual transmission. I havent had a chance to use 4x4 yet but will appreciate it this winter. The seats are comfortable and the room in back is good for cargo.

  RUN FROM THE TRAILHAWK - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By a. e. fin - August 21 - 10:15 am

  I owned my Trainlhawk three weeks before it went to the service department for the first time. The heated seats came on by themselves without a warning light. They re-programmed the car. Three days later the navigation system would not work, so they ordered a new one. One week later, while pulling up to a red light, the car would not accelerate when the light changed. The Jeep had died and all of the interior functions were still working and I did not feel the Jeep die. Fortunately in rush hour I was not hit from behind. The dealer has now had my Jeep 3 weeks, unable to find out why it died in traffic. Run from this vehicle. This is a systemic problem, with many complaints on the NHTSA website. Jeep corporate has no solution for this vehicles problems.

  The Renegade Trailhawk is fantastic. - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By John - June 1 - 4:27 pm

  I got a free loaner from my Jeep dealership because my 2016 Jeep Patriot manual transmission wasnt working right. Had 17,000 miles on the car when it went down. The air bag sensor had to be replaced as well. Patriot was fine before these issues. The dealer lent me a 2017 Renegade Trailhawk and I loved it. Anybody whod buy the Patriot with freedom drive 2 is crazy because you could buy the Renegade Trailhawk for the same money and get much better fuel economy. and a thoroughly modern vehicle with blind spot detectors, back up cameras etc. Let me compare the 2 vehicles. HP : Renegade has 180hp, the Patriot has 172 HP. The seating in the Renegade is way more comfortable than the Patriot. It contours your body nicely and big tall people feel great in the bucket seats. Huge headroom like the Patriot. Back seats have the same legroom as the patriot. Cargo space is a little less than in the Patriot. You get a full size spare in the Renegade Trailhawk, Patriot has a smaller spare . Instrument panel is 10 x better in the Renegade and looks really really rugged looking . The radio has a nice rugged look , The Patriot radio is very ordinary. I liked the look of the Renegade radio, but the small screen made the backup camera picture hard to see .I wish Jeep incorporated all the new Renegade stuff into the Patriot . The Patriot looks like a real Jeep, the Renegade looks KIA Soul like. Acceleration is fantastic in the Trailhawk version , but I wish it came with manual transmission. Its higher off the ground than the Patriot and has a better ride. The Patriot had more storage space. Id probably buy the Trailhawk if I had to decide again. I own land in upstate NY and visit during the winter. The Trailhawk would be great with its superior off roading and excellent gas mileage . I thought about buying the Patriot with the freedom drive 2 , but the gas mileage was horrendous . The Renegade is the Patriot with freedom drive 2 and it gets much better gas mileage. It all has the blindspot detector. If a car comes into your blindspot, the mirror will light up with a yellow dot telling you a car is in your blindspot. I love that feature. The AC and climate control are excellent and it was freezing in the car on a hot 90 degree day. I wish my Patriot had all this new stuff. But I dont really like the look of the car. Its not bad. I paid $18500 for my 4x 4 Patriot, the Trailhawk is $24000 on True Car. Very reasonable for a fuel efficient vehicle thats 10 x better off roading than anything Toyota, Honda , Hyundai has.

  This is a Jeep not a wannabee all wheel drive! - 2017 Jeep Renegade
  By over this hills - April 6 - 7:49 am

  This is my third New Jeep and I really like this little one. PROS, I like the skid plates for starters and on my recent road trip from the Colorado Rockies to Ocean Shores Washington I ran over a truckers short wood 4x4 for there truck beds on the freeway at 70 mph. And I could not do anything except hit it and the plates stopped any damage to my jeep, but a few miles down the road I seen at least 3 cars disabled from this large debris. Now I wanted the plates for off road but they had a bonus for everyday driving. The controls and well placed and it is easy to use. On my trip I drove over 12 hours each day and I was very comfortable. CONS, my large copilot dog that did knock my automatic transmission into manual mode many times before she understood that was not good, so it is a bit tight in the front seats if you have a large dog that hogs the front seat keep a eye on the tachometer! Oh and fishing poles that are 6 foot or larger must be centered and ran over the armrest. OTHER THOUGHTS, I bought this for its gas mileage and it is good for a very capable four wheel drive and for its size I feel there is no comparison, because it is a Jeep not a wannabee all wheel drive! There is a difference when you pull off that comfortable road.
