Love the look, but leaves a lot to be desired!

Ac vents only in the front. This does not work in Tx heat. My kids are sweating in the back and I’m freezing up front. This car does not come with a spare!!! I guess I’m not used to that not being a standard feature. Not even a donut? I got a flat within the first few months and had to get the vehicle towed because I didn’t have a spare! Low acceleration and hard shifting and already have an electrical short in my running lights.Also the carpeting in this car is the worst I’ve ever seen It’s like Velcro for dirt. Even using professional vacuums does not get it very clean and if you have a dog that ever rides in your car I’d advice having covers or you will never get the hair out!!!Over all not super happy to pay that much and already have this many problems. If I did it over I would not buy this vehicle.

Perfect for the city & some weekend off road fun

It’s cute, yet manly. Its based on the fiat 500x, yet its 4wd is all Jeep. It’s small, yet so much head room it’s a little ridiculous. If you live in a city like NYC, your see JKU, JLU, brand new Grand Cherokees, and surprisingly a plentiful amount of old Jeep liberty's rooming the streets of NYC. And if your in the market for a new SUV or your liberty is getting a little tired of the hustle and bustle. The Jeep Renegade is the perfect new city Jeep. With 24mpg combined, this little 2.4l with Apple CarPlay your get where you need to go, whether it’s the city or on the trail the renegade will do it all. As with all jeeps, there’s so many trim options that it gets a little confusing. But here’s a quick run down on trims to make it a little easier, if you want to go off road then go for the trailhawk. Plain and simple, not saying the other trims can’t, but with the trailhawk, you’re lifted, have a rock mode in your 4x4 menu, tow hooks, and skid plates to make the renegade deserve the trail rated emblem. Now, if your not gonna go on the trails often then you have plenty of other trims to go for. if you want the base model, that’s a sport, if you want something above the sport that’s a latitude which is the best bang for the buck trim. Altitude is the trim where the chrome is all black. Limited is the trim where most of the options are standard. All these trims can have the same options except the trailhawk which is a package all upon itself. All of these trims except the trailhawk of course can also come as 2wd but why would you buy a Jeep if it not a 4x4? That’s just weird.

This subcompact SUV is roomy enough for my family. It has the head room we need. The back seats are roomy also with plenty of head room. The cargo area has plenty of room for groceries for my family too.

Bought a 2019 and 2nd day the service engine light came on. So they let me pick out a different 2019 Renegade. The 2nd Renegade the same thing has happened. Then they "fixed" took it home and next day the light came back on. Then they "fixed" and service manager drove it home but the next morning on his way to work the light came on again! They are still refusing to refund the money at this point and are still trying to fix it! Been 4 weeks and still no car! Now we have a lawyer helping us. My 1st car payment is due now and I dont even have the damn thing!

2019 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk

Do not purchase this vehicle. I purchased a new 2019 Renegade Trailhawk in November 2019 and it has been at the dealership for repairs since December 2019. Simple parts like the AC condenser, radiators, etc. are not available (they are on back order), so even though the vehicle has less thank 2K miles on it, it cannot be repaired any time soon. I've only driven it on the highway and in town for regular errands. Jeep has said the condenser and radiator are not warranty items and therefore are not their issue. Earliest ETA for parts availability is January 23, 2020 (which changed from December 26, 2019 to January 2, 2020 to now January 23, 2020 and may change again) and the vehicle is not drive-able. I loved the Renegade when I bought it; now I'm just disappointed by the lack of service and parts. Do not buy the Renegade. Even the simplest of issues cannot be fixed in a timely fashion. Do some research and only purchase from manufacturers that are willing to service what they've sold!!
