2023 Jeep Renegade Review

The 2023 Jeep Renegade is a versatile subcompact SUV. It doesn't offer near the off-road capability of its much more famous Jeep sibling, the Wrangler, but it does outclass many of its competitors when the pavement ends and the dirt starts. The Trailhawk trim, in particular, comes with a raised suspension and all-terrain tires to help you more successfully rumble over ruts and rocks.

This baby Jeep, though, is starting to show its age. The Renegade is in its first generation, introduced in 2015, and while we like its easy-to-use technology features, it's probably about time for a full redesign. Overall, we like the Renegade but also suggest taking a look at other highly rated competitors such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Mazda CX-30 and Volkswagen Taos. Subaru's Crosstrek is another solid option and rivals the Renegade for all-terrain capability. Check out our test team's Expert Rating for the full rundown of the Renegade's hits and misses.

The 2023 Jeep Renegade is a subcompact SUV with seating for up to five passengers. It comes in three trim levels: Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk. A turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine (177 horsepower, 210 lb-ft of torque) and nine-speed transmission are standard on all trims. All-wheel drive comes standard on the Latitude and Limited, while the Trailhawk comes standard with a four-wheel-drive system.
