The Jeep Renegade is a genuinely smart piece of product design, distilling Jeep's brand values into a smaller package while leaning on the smartest technology the Fiat Group has to offer. This improved version gets revised petrol engine technology, slightly smarter looks and enhanced connectivity. But as before, if you eat squirrel, own a bowling ball and call your first cousin your spouse, chances are you're going to hate it. Otherwise, read on.
Background
Take a respected brand, a fresh and vibrant market segment and a willingness to do something different. Then create from that a product with uncompromising looks, real capability and clever design. The result you'd get certainly wouldn't be ordinary. It wouldn't please traditionalists. No, in automotive terms, what you'd get would be something like this, the Jeep Renegade.
At its original launch here in 2015, news that this Renegade was almost entirely based on Fiat's 500X had Jeep die-hards choking on their beer. These people needed to allow for the fact that much had been done with these underpinnings in creation of a tougher, more rugged and very different product. It's certainly one that's attracted widespread interest and now accounts for over 70% of Jeep's UK sales. It's achillies heel was previously an ancient couple of petrol engines, which have now thankfully been dumped as part of the changes made to this smarter, more sophisticated facelifted model.
Driving Experience
The key news with this improved Renegade lies with the changes made beneath the bonnet. The old-tech entry-level normally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol engine of the original model has been replaced by a much more efficient 120hp 1.0-litre unit. And the old inefficient 1.4-litre 134hp MultiAir petrol 1.4 makes way for a new 1.3-litre powerplant, available in 150 and 180hp guises. Ideally, you want to try and stretch to the 1.3 because the base 1.0-litre unit doesn't really have enough pulling power to shove the Renegade along with much conviction. The automatic gearbox that goes with the lower-powered version of the 1.3-litre engine isn't especially slick-changing; the uprated 9-speed auto 'box that goes with the 178hp 1.3 is better. As before, if you're looking at a diesel, there's a 120bhp 1.6-litre Mjet unit or a 2.0-litre Mjet option with either 140 or 170bhp. You'll need the 2.0-litre Mjet diesel if you want your car with 4WD.
The car's 4x4 system hasn't changed, incorporating a rear axle disconnect system that switches seamlessly between two and four-wheel-drive for reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn't needed, improving fuel efficiency in the process. But the Renegade is more at home on the highway, where refinement is surprisingly good, despite the relatively bluff aerodynamics.
Design and Build
The Renegade has always sold on its styling - and it still will. There are some subtle aesthetic tweaks with this revised model but the main changes lie with the adoption of LED technology for the headlamps and tail lights. As before, the squarical profile features lovely tight overhangs and some very cool detailing. What is particularly interesting is the way the design includes some very traditional Jeep design cues but isn't afraid to twist them a bit into something resolutely modern-looking. That aspect you will either love or hate.
Cover up the badges inside the car and, yes, you would probably think you were in a Fiat product, but if you've had a look at the latest Fiat range, that's no bad thing. Jeep says that the fascia's been updated but it's difficult to see many changes apart from the improved Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system, which on top variants features a big 8.4-inch monitor. This has clear menus, sharp graphics and useful shortcut buttons, plus it comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can use apps from your smartphone (such as Google Maps and Waze) while driving. As for practicality, well it's a bit pinched in the back, but then that comes with the territory when you've got this little length to play with.

I've had my Renegade Traihawk 2018 for almost a year now. No problems whatsoever! It still put a smile on my face every time I get in to drive it. And it has saved me from ordering a tow truck on a few occasions on snowy Swedish country roads.
Great to hear back from someone with experience with the Renegade Trailhawk 👍
Dear Jonas! Can you tell more experiences in the last one year? Any issues, problems?
After owning many cars ( including some luxury brands) over the years I became old and wanted a new and cheap " do it all in all wheather family mobile". It is incredible to me that people are always moaning about those practical "cheap" cars while the snobs don't even whisper about the huge problems their 60k plus euro cars have, like Mercedes, RRovers, Bmw, etc. In 2009 I bought a brand new RR Sport and sold it at a great loss in less than a year due to multiple problems from day one of ownership. I recently got a 2018 Renegade Limited 1.3 turbo 2wd, after drivetesting many other options in the price range. The facelifted Renegade surpassed my expectations: it is very refined, comfortable at higway speed ( I can for sure say it is more quiet at 130km/h than my Infinity Fx30), it has very good visibility, the ride is very good and surefooted and the brakes blew me away- almost on par with my Brembo equiped Alfa Gta. The new 1.3 turbo is a gem: there is literally no vibration, it is veery quiet, it has 270Nm at 1800rpm to pull 1320kg and is economical ( I average 8l/100km, 80% town driving, outside town 6l/km). And there is a sense of robustness given by the extremelly stiff structure of the chassis, I didn t experience the smallest creak or rattle. At 25k euros I paid for this car in my country, what more could I want. It is a very smart and practical car, very comfortable and frugal for the money. We love itm
Doge what are you mad a about bro?
Doge = whining idiot who doesn’t even own an automobile.
@Doge I've had a fiat for over 10 years worked fine. Who's laughing!?!
@Doge What dogs knows about cars except chasing them.
Light years ahead of any other Renegade review out there 👍
Had my Renegade for a year now, still loving it. Coming from other compact european cars, it feels big and solid when driving it. And tho I have the 2wd version, i regularly take it onto rocky, steep tractor paths that would have gotten my others cars into trouble. The excellent traction control and the high ground clearance make it pretty capable.
One of the best reviews I ever came across, detailed and well presented. 👌👌👍👍
Thanks for the feedback Samind 👍 good to see comments like this
Being an extremely picky selective buyer of goods, let alone cars, I admit, tested the Renegade and LOVED it....
That's great to hear, Charlotte! Will you be buying one?
@@rivervalegroup sadly not .. after having tested a Volvo XC40 that same day and having been driving an XC90 for years, I went for the XC40 which has this elegant classic look with that Ford Mustang grill front in my opinion ... although I must admit and say that anyone unable to afford a Volvo, but willing to drive a very decent and comfy as super cozy car inside and out, better no look further than a Renegade and ppl joking about it being ugly or a crazy Fiat, better test drive one first ...I tested a VW T-cross too, but that was anything but nice at all and still feel pain in my neck and shoulders from the stiffness of it
@@juli8vdberg562 Thanks for the feedback 👍 You made a great choice with the XC40, we hope you're enjoying it!
We have a 15 plate Renegade Limited special edition with the 1.4 turbo engine. It's been so good and only needed a set of front brake discs apart from yearly servicing. Not bad for 8 years old. We live in the remote Scottish Highlands so need ground clearance and ability to cope with lots of deep snow and road salt. It sailed through the last MOT and there is virtually no rust at all. So it is a brilliant car and we love it ! For a relatively small car , it's roomy inside and very capable. Not sure how it could be compared to a Nissan Joke ( oops sorry Juke ) totally different vehicles. !
The 2015 model was very capable, and still is, mine runs smoothly, no body or engine modifications, oil changes, transmission fluid changes, and tires are the main things I've needed, and that's normal. I can only imagine how the 2019's run in person.
Great to hear back from an owner Zach 👍
That’s what I say to everyone who doesn’t own one. It’s the most reliable car I’ve own for a long time (so much that I bought a 500x for my wife). I sold my 216d (which was a “lemon” regarding problems...) and bought a Renegade. It’s amazing. Ps: I’ve own many cars over the more then 30 years of driving experience...
@@VPB1970 which engine your renegade has?
Which engine you have?
@@alkhalilmohammed5578 its has the 1.6 diesel, that has been 100 percent reliable. No problem whatsoever.
I've had a '16, 1.6 diesel Longitude for the past 3 years. I have loved every minute of driving it and I can't wait for the refresh. I currently get around 55 MPG on the motorway and 43-ish MPG driving around London. My current average is 49.6 over 20,000 miles! I consider this very good. Yes it could do with a bigger boot (see Compass) but I prefer to have a car that is easy to park and very good economy!
I will probably go for the same 1.6 diesel again when I can renew, as it is very efficient. I might consider going for the Trailhawk but I have only really needed it for driving around the Swiss mountains and Italian Alps where the 2WD was barely getting me up the steep hills. But it did get me there!
Great to hear back from an owner 👍 thanks for the comment Roger
renegade is built in Italy
@@karimtemri1664 what do you mean by that? Why are you commenting on a post that is 2 years old?
Funny that you pointed out the Juke. I test drove a Juke in 2010 and wanted one for 10 years, then the Renegade won me over before I could make the purchase. I love the Renegade.
Great to hear that you're loving the Renegade, Brandt! Make sure to subscribe for more in-depth vehicle reviews - bit.ly/319ZKoT
Couple of corrections
1. The "4wd lock" only keeps it in 4wd mode. There are no locking differentials. It's all brake based traction control. The only CUV based Jeep with a locker is the Cherokee trailhawk.
2. There is no low range gear box in the trailhawk or any other trim. The lower crawl ratio comes from a lower diff gear (4.33:1 vs 3.55:1 in the other trims) and the 9spd auto. Put it in "low" and it keeps the transmission in 1st gear.
Miller - the Renegade has electronic traction control to distribute the torque in All wheel drive mode but also had locking differential giving instant torque to all four wheels. in lock mode. And they warn not to drive at high speed on dry tarmac because all the wheel go the same distance as the differentials are locked and cause not only the handling but also wear and tear on the gearbox. Locking isn the first gear is also a type of low range gearing. Check the trail hawk . It can go anywhere a Land cruiser can go.
@@lakshmandalpadado9066 the only jeep model on that architecture that offers any real locking diff is the Cherokee trailhawk. The diff on the renegade is not strong enough for that use. I've been round and round with Mopar since 2018 arguing about this.
@@lakshmandalpadado9066 not true...just look a some test with software, in many cases torque to the rear is 0% even with Lock. It only means "4WD is engaged", not a real lock. As for the "low" command, it only enables 1st gear, no low range at all. Cherokee Trailhawk has real low range and real rear differential lock, not the Renegade.
the best review of jeep renegade on you tube
I can't imagine a more detailed review. How did you get the time off from bomber command? Keep up the good and detailed reports based on facts and knowledge!
Hello. When first generation of Renegade was launched I was impressed. A proper SUV, with rough look, spacious interiour and very good off-road capability. But now, with 2WD for the most of the range and 4x4 traction only on 2 litre diesel engine, I changed my opinion. Because I want a Jeep with turbo petrol engine and 4x4. So if you want a proper Jeep Renegade you must buy one from the previous generation :) . Thank you for the video OSV!
Thanks for the comment sandoterm 👍
A very comprehensive review and One of the best.
Thanks for the feedback Lakshman 👍
What a fantastic review the best on UA-cam these guys brilliant
Many thanks for watching, John!
Great review. Always wondered what Eric Idle was doing these days.
Thanks for the detailed review. I'm really keen to get one soon.
One correction. The My Sky roof does not consist of glass panels but solid black panels. The front acts as a normal sunroof and the rear lifts slightly. Or, as you said, you can remove both the front and rear panels for an open roof. Panels store in a bag in the boot.

Got a 2019 limited deisel being delivered next week 👊😁👊
Great to hear! We hope you love your new Jeep 👍
This new one Looks better than the previous one
Very informative. My 2018 Renegade has had a few issues with reliability, but Jeep have been very helpful
Which engine you have?
Excellent review and very well presented.
Thanks for the good feedback Adrian 👍
So very different in options and upholstery than our “Yankee” Renegade line. I have a Deserthawk but the interior of his little blue Limited is gorgeous, the amber center of the tail lights and the mudslplat on the tachometer is nicer.
Excellent review of the car and well presented. Thank you
Interested to see how this compares to earlier model, we think it looks far cooler, thank you.
Indeed, a definite visual improvement 👍
Thanks for the great reviews, but please add time links for each section of the reviews in the description :)
Good production quality
The finest review presenter by a country mile, step aside BBC
That's high praise indeed, Richard! Thanks for watching 👍
@@rivervalegroup fully deserved, i was in prestige motor trade sales a fair few years, this is the business well done!
The differences between all countries, is amazingly diverse so it seems.
I ordered a standard 1.0 petrol sport, but it divers so much of everything I hear of it in these reviews.
Mine does come with the old 5" screen and steel rims, unlike what you said about the updated 'english'(?) versions.
Though it does have every safety-system there is for this model, unlike what you said.
I noticed these differences on every other preview aswell, fe. from Italian reviews and american ones.
I went for the sport, since it was just a replacement for my van, but I also love to make it my own, and by the mopar-possibilities, you can make it exactly like you want it. So i really didn't bother with a higher end version.
That said, i actually do hope they will make some cheaper 4x4-versions without all those bits and pieces you'll never need.
The Renegade made a great start and is a very unique model, making people smile and having fun with it, that's all that counts ;-)
Is the sport version that bad? Im buying one tomorrow
@@Knighttus to be fairly honest, it found it to be a great version of this model.
Regarding storage room, there should be a large storage if you lift the cushion on the passenger seat, in the limited that is.
I’m glad you like your Fiat 500
Suprised to see Horhsam on the sat nav!
Carro sensacional muito top 🔝🚙 demais show excelente custo benefício uns dos melhores suvs 🚙👏👍
Excellent review as always. However I will have to research the 6 speed DCT which is the only trim available in my country! I fear the reliability problems And heating because of our hot climate. Also, I am an old school guy who tend to keep the car for at least 10 -15 years which is a problem in nearly all recent model technology Grrrrrr
Thanks, it's such a shame tech features can be the downfall of newer vehicles these days
I don't care about colors. I don't care about 4x4. I don't care about power. I don't care about auto vs. manual. I don't care about wind noise. I don't care about rearside room. I don't care about boot practicality. I don't care about rims, metals, led lights, adaptive cruise control, extreme steering response, motor sound, or scratchy plastic surfaces.
What I DO care about is a roomy seating position for me as a "bigger guy" (1m85/130 kg/very wide shouldered, relatively long legs and arms) that doesn't make my shoulders rub against the side, doesn't press a hard plastic ridge into my legs, doesn't lock my left arm in between my body and the door, and doesn't make me sit like the hunchback of the Notre Dame by its "comfort seats" that require me to contort my back and neck in stress (cough, Mercedes CLA!). I don't need to be in a cocoon - i'm the kind of guy that removes the arm rests from any office chair.
And man, does the Renegade have me covered. I was sold the minute I stepped in, and only things like a moving van are better.
This is the best car in the world. I had it for two months as a borrower, and now years later I'm still longing for it back.

@@rivervalegroup Thanks. I'm looking for a new company lease car so I'll leave it to our lease guys to find good deals :) but yeah, thanks for your reviews. When it comes to thoroughness, clarity and immersion, no one can hold a candle to you. Autogefuhl comes close, but you rock. One thing I would like is if the reviews would go into left shoulder and torso room for big guys, because I cant hardly be the only one can I? :)
Horses for courses. Plenty of different types of cars for different types of people. Either lose weight - or buy a bigger car. Renegade is designed for slim and stylish people. Not for fat lumps.
@@lakshmandalpadado9066 I don't get your point. My whole point is that the Jeep Renegade is GREAT for me, *because* I am a "fat lump". (For european comparison, at least. I'm not American-style fat.) Which is why I ended my post with "This is the best car in the world. I had it for two months as a borrower, and now years later I'm still longing for it back." In the mean time, I've started driving one again, and it doesn't disappoint. It's absolutely great, *especially* in terms of comfort.
Thank you for the comprehensive review
Thanks Kostas 👍

I'm guessing Longitude is the European version of the Latitude trim we have here in the US. It's interesting hearing how different offerings are outside of the US such as we don't have a diesel model period and manual transmission versions are quite rare(though that's a trend across the entire auto industry in the US in general).
Great review. thanks
Most beautifull car ever
Wouldn't mind if it was: 3 door / convertible / off-road
If only they would make the trailhawk in petrol for the uk market
Love it. Mine was specced by Batman.

Renegade&500x are the best looking small SUV! Love them..
and You forgot to say what engine is in this car being tested
What a great review as usual your the very best at what you do…your thorough informative and honest as I believe this is going* to be my next vehicle…I’m impressed with it it’s well appointed….I’ve taken interest in the top model the fit and finish is excellent…it’s roomy enough but I think I’m going to want the full length panoramic roof I think it will add a certain ambience to what is already a well lit cabin…I’d like the 2.0 Diesel engine with great automatic gearbox wether or not that will still be available here when I’m ready to change I don’t know..we have a crazy government that seem to think electric vehicles is the way to go…I hope eventually that someone will wake up and realise they are not so green…so all I can say is well done Fiat…

The angle makes it look big. Inside the thing is tiny and the front seats don't feel normal.
Isn't this the model that does a rear wheelie when you brake hard?
The most capable small SUV? No, that’s the new Suzuki Jimny!
You are right 👍 we love the new Jimny!
Badly Canada and USA have only the fiat renegade....
Doesn't do us any good in the US. I would have definitely gone with the Jimny
It's better than the Jimny.
Jeep reliability mixed with Fiat reliability. What could go wrong?
EVERY DAMN THING LOL!
Everything is going wrong in my renegade
At least they have a very good 5 year warranty
Ahahahah
Have you owned one?
can you do a review on the trailhawk version pls?
Jeep is popular in Japan.
I love the Jeep brand. I have a 2018 Renegade. Sadly it’s had a few ‘issues’. Which is frustrating. I love the car so much, but my 2008 C class has been far more reliable
Which engine you have and what issues you had ?
@@alkhalilmohammed5578 I have the multiair. The engine has always been reliable. It’s other parts;
•the battery is a weak point.
• the paint can become contaminated very quickly (bird lime after 2hrs left hideous stains)
• the speakers blow from water ingress
However. Since these issues have been rectified. I’m back to loving the Jeep!
@@angrymuffinsb 2.4 petrol?

Has it ever seen a wind tunnel with that front. 🍃💨😁😭
It's not supposed to be aerodynamic. My wife's Renegade has the high clearance bumper with heavy duty tow hooks in it. That's what they should all have.
A crash test on this 2019 vehicle is lost...and very necesary !
Suzuki Jimny all-day. All the way.
Jimny is ok if you do off roading ,but as a road car,its very poor under powered
too small
Lol, it's like comparing oranges with cucumbers.
Why in the world would you compare a Jimny to this? Oh I get it. You’re the guy that thinks his priorities are what everyone prioritizes also.
Walter White yeah we know, you’ve commented it a thousand times
Love the comments! "Buy a jimny" oh wait you can't get them anymore and the ones you
Can get are 27k!!
looks like soul
Are you blind?
Not really, but oke
nice car,but would not trade in my tour de france 4x4 yeti for it :) imo the yeti was and is the best suv on the road
,but do like the looks of the Jeep
I completely agree. I own a Yeti these last 7 years. It is a truly capable and practical vehicle. I ve driven a renegade for about 7-8 days recently in the South of France. It is a good vehicle. Yes. But my yeti is simply clever and simply better. It’s just that the Renegade overall feels a bit more rugged and like something that one can beat much harder without feeling guilty. However, the true apples to apples comparison between these two cars needs to be made only by someone operating each of these in the same identical conditions, not like me, who operates the Yeti day to day in harsh daily conditions in India and has only driven the Renegade when on holiday in Europe.
Had a 17 plate yeti which was an absolute lemon in terms of problems, constantly going back to the garage. The worst was the clutch and biting point, nearly always cut out in 2nd gear and the garage claimed it was a characteristic of the car. Absolute bulljive. Got rid of it a few months ago.
Problem with the yeti is it looks properly hideous. May as well just throw in the towel and pick up the pipe and slippers if you buy a yeti.
is it the most capable FIAT 500?
Lol, “the large 2.0 diesel.” My co worker was telling me that the 7.3 diesel they have is so much better than the new 6.0 diesel. Murica!
Duster or Jimny
We love the new Jimny 👍
Renegade or 500x
sir some more info over steering adjustment
For this guy should have a Trabant, not a Jeep
I should be laughing at the fact that this thing carries the Jeep-badge. I should be running for the hills thinking about Fiat's current problems with reliability (just looked up some statistics and it ain't pretty for them). But for some reason, I really like the Renegade.... just as I liked the equally horribly named "Patriot" of the late 2000s.
Autosalón renegade
I prefer the Juke.
Weird way to spell "Joke".
I thought my 2007 Jeep cherokee 2.8 crd looks bad but at least it has proper 4 wheel drive with low gearing as well but this thing from Jeep is just horrible compered to the Fiat version that I quite like the look of I think if you are buying a Jeep new there are only two worth bothering with the Grand Cherokee or the Wrangler a proper four wheel drive not even Land Rover make one now.
Soon new cars will have bath and shower inside 😅...or what else...why need to make so complicated?
They are getting very advanced! What would be your top 5 must haves in a car?
I like the interior but the FWD version is a literal deathtrap, it really amazes me how Fiat-Crysler overlooked something like that.
Yeah only scored 5 stars on NCAP tests. 🤔🤔
@@FCisThePunisher the FWD version literally lifts it's tail when you slam the brakes at 100kph.
NCPA tests all aspects of safery before it awards its stars. If there was an issue it would have been taken into consideration.

Subaru xv
Such a comedy shape which is a great shame as it is a very capable car with bullet proof 5 year warranty.
Beutiful in the front very ugly in the back...
no, it isn't the most capable "SUV" .. - the most capable afordable 4x4 is Jimny.....and in the crossover-S.U.V("SUV") class is the Dacia Duster...very capable in soft offroad and very affordable(aprx. 20000 Euro full option 4x4 1,5 dci) - anyway Renegade it's a nice "jeep" but it's made by Fiat..it's not a pure jeep
I used to remember I was wow when it was first revealed years ago. Now it’s just a chic car that is as bad as The soul.
How so?
This Reviewer talks to much
Get to the point about the car review inside then drive
Pity it’s ugly
Jeep is supposed to be an American car brand so why the hell is Europe getting the 2019 renegade first? It should just be called a fiat if they're going to do this.
We already have it in the US
@@richardmiller1256 I haven't seen any at my local dealerships and I don't see any American UA-camrs doing a review on the 2019.
Fiat & Chrysler merged; that's why the merged company is called Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. That merger made sense- Fiat bringing it's small vehicle architecture/fuel efficient engines & expertise to the company; while Chrysler brings it's large vehicle architectures, and powerful V6/V8 engines & technology to the company. This merger truly is the "Merger of Equals" that DaimlerChrysler was SUPPOSED to be. Sharing across the entire company of designs & tech, not to mention Fiat & Chrysler designing new products/technology together. Sergio made no bones about the US side of the company (Chrysler) carrying the whole of FCA through the drawn out European recession. I look at it like this: without Fiat, Chrysler would have been no more. Yes, both Fiat & Chrysler pre-merger had much room for improvement in the overall quality department. FCA is making a serious effort to shed that image, and improve it's vehicles quality across the board. It all doesn't happen overnight- BUT the company is moving in the right direction. All new products have been significant improvements over previous models. FCA 's US market shares are continuing their climb upwards. If products like the new 2019 Ram 1500 are any indication of future FCA products & design- big things are in store for this company.
Jesus it's one ugly car. Glad i watched this I'll pass.
That's what were here for 👍
Looks a bit hairdressery
Jeeps are shitboxes
Wrong, is an ugly car to low for 4wd driving. The new Jimny is the one for a nice price.
oh Please, it's a crappy Fiat. And no, Real Jeeps are popular in Japan but this Fiat is not!
Yeah and Lamborghini and Porche are owned by crappy VW so you probably won’t want one of them either
Harry what would you recommend?
@Cam oh my my. A Chevy. Nah don't think so somehow. Junk.
A Fiat with a jeep badge on it. The only thing "Jeep" about a Jeep is the plastic name plate....and still a fiat Chrysler vehicle....junk.
