The #JeepRenegade is the smallest #Jeep in the US lineup. Built off the same platform as the Fiat 500X,
the latest #Renegade has been refreshed for 2020 with a new design outside and a new turbo engine under the hood. - Авто та транспорт
the renegade is perfect for making an adventure to the mechanic...if it can make it there without breaking down
Pinhead
Exactly!! I had one for 2 years and it was the biggest POS I’ve ever owned! 20k miles on it before I finally traded it in for my Honda Ridgeline. Best decision I’ve made in a long time
When will people learn that Chrysler Fiat products don’t hold up well: never have. Do buyers just walk in and buy on emotions and not do a minute of research ? I can’t imagine.
😂😂😂
Transmission failures with the 9 speed automatic.... repeatedly
The purchase cost may not break the bank but the cost of repairs will.
My wife is on her 2nd Renegade. No problems with either. 4 years, so far.

Plenty of people have great reliability with the Renee. U don’t own, so you don’t talk.
Dwayne Young Then why is she on her second? How many miles did she put on the first one?
Eric Jr lease ? Dumb ass.
Eric Jr who cares . No one wants a car for 300,000 miles. Life changes , tech changes , interest changes. You won’t convince a Jeep renegade owner to buy anything but such because it’s in a segment of its own ! So just stop
It's not even a baby jeep.. it's only italian adoption
It's a Jeep. Trust me.
I have a 2015 with 50k. I worried about reliability but I've been driving it since December 2015 so I was obviously one of the first to purchase one, and almost 6 years later I've had no issues. I have the 1.4 Turbo Sport, with the manual transmission, which I think is the only way to go. Unfortunately they don't offer a manual any longer. All of the online reviews i watched back in 2015 bad mouthed the automatic, and I've driven manuals forever anyway, so glad I steered clear of that 9 speed. I do hate paying for the higher octane level of gas but this little turbo has lots of pep, and believe it or not I AVERAGE 30mpg. If I replaced it today, I doubt I would go with another Renegade, but so far it's been a great little vehicle.
Finally a review on something other than a Subaru or Lexus. Would like to see more reviews on new models, not just mildly refreshed vehicles that you have to squint to see the changes. Overall, I love your reviews.
I drive a 2019 for almost a year now. The limited with the 1.3 turbo engine. It is very economic. 1 litre = 16 km (37,6 MPG) No issues sofar, zero. I know a couple of other renegade owners via a forum i can not say that I hear a lot of issues sofar. I don't get all the negative reactions on this car, it must be trolls or something who never owned a car or bought a used one with malfunctions.
Have you ever rolled down just the back windows at about 40 miles per hour? Who needs bass speakers when that will blow your eardrums out.
@@CalvinHikes Why would you be rolling the windows down at 40 mph...
My fiancé talked me into getting a 2017. PILE OF CRAP. We lost a ton of money on it and ditched it after a year. Computer fried. Inner driver door handle snapped off. Hatch sounded like it would rattle itself to death after a few thousand miles. We got maybe 17 MPG average. And that 9 speed transmission isn’t fit for the junkyard it’ll eventually end up it.
I had a 2015 Limited. It was cheap when I bought it as I was trying to get out of a lease. MPG was horrific - I was filling every 3 days driving 45 min one way to work every day. The 9-speed transmission is a pile of hot garbage. Trading it in for a 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring was the best decision I made.
Have you kept up with your oil changes from the dealership?
I have a 2018 and I love it. Bought it new and haven’t had a single problem so far. Feels roomy and is fun to drive. Never had an issue with the 9spd either. So some do have a good experience...hopefully it stays that way.
I'd say if this thing was reliable, had a better engine and transmission, and a bit better interior quality, it'd sold amazing
Soooo basically everything?
@Dill ikr 😂
@@dill5597 Yes 😆😅 It at the very least has decent looks
*if this thing was not engineered and manufactured by FCA
vaultek exactly it takes a OWNER to say something. These Toyota fan boys don’t know shit about the renegade.
I can't understand the infinite hate that I'm reading in the comments! I live in europe and I have the european version of the Renegade Trailhawk... I didn't have A SINGLE TROUBLE! She is a robust car! Only because is build in Italy doesn't mean that is a crap! And one thing more: *I'M ITALIAN*, I'm feel very offended now.... Jeez! I'm tired about of this hate about our stuff!!!
In the US Italian cars have a very poor reputation, especially Fiats. I'm actually starting to wonder if the US gets all the lemon Renegades and everyone else gets "good" ones because it seems like non-American users have much more positive experiences and views on the Renegade than Americans.
I have the 2015 trail hawk 2.4 I get 29mpg and love it
Sofyan Bey? More like Sofyan BAE...seriously though, you're a good lookin' dude Sofyan ;) Great review!!
Sure is!
I like it, not quite a Wrangler but for someone like me that's fine since I wouldn't need something so hardcore to traverse the parking lots or the highways lol.
I can almost get a CX-5 Signature for the same price. That’s CRAZY
Had a 17 renegade. Had it for about 6months before trading it in lol. Bad mpg and a really small gas tank was super annoying. I was filling up every 4-5 days! And that’s around town in Florida! The 9 speed is so sluggish and jerks as well and that 2.4 engine is SO slow. A Prius is faster
These look cool on the road in Europe.
FYI this vehicle doesn't have a low range transfer case even on the trailhawk model. it has a taller final drive and the 4wd low button locks you into 1st gear.
My girlfriend is waiting for her white 2022 Jeep Renegade Altitude. We hope to take delivery of it this week.
Would love to hear their long term reliability, y'know...after it's warranty is out.
Read these comments plenty agree with me - they break down and it’s crazy to consider one.
🤔?? Um no. Has to be some shitty GM lovers (Gay men lovers)
I have a 2015 Jeep renegade trailhawk still going. Had to replace tires, battery, got the coolant fluid changed out. I change the oil every 3,000 miles. I want to buy a Chevy bolt now. I’m still trying to decide about the bolt. I wanna go full EV now.
Don't worry the trim pieces fall off well within the warranty lol
I work around used 15-16s a lot and they start to fall apart around 70-80k miles. I don’t know the history of them though, so maybe you’ll have better luck if you follow proper maintenance. I feel like the people buying these usually have bad credit and can’t get approved elsewhere so they end up with high payments and no money left for maintenance.
I have a 2018 Trailhawk as a daily driver and I have had zero issues, to everyone who has had one and had problems, do you take care of your vehicle?
The trailhawk is quite good off road.
The Renegade isn’t based on the 500x. They were developed at the same time. The basic platform and engines are European, but the suspension, steering, AWD, HVAC and UConnect on both are from Jeep developers.
And it was designed by American team, not by Italians, lol...Fiat never designs for American market, what sense that would make they have no experience in that... it shares platform pieces which or non-essential to focus of the vehicle, steering column AC boxes, things like that, to be completely honest it also shares wheelbase, in order to save on a platform sharing they need to do as much as they can, but off-road components suspension components steering entire electrical system is specific to Renegade
If only honda and subaru would use an engine like this in the hrv and crosstrek. A little turbo engine like this in the crosstrek would be awesomeb
Jeep - American Idol!
So true!
Idle lol
Made in Italy!
Sacatolas Moreira so are lamborghinis
Mechanic shop ready 🤩
Off-Road? More like heading to the dealers for many repairs incoming lols.
It can handle a camp site and that's about it
It’s called off road because it will be off road that is off the paved road sitting on the side broken down
Ive never had to head to a dealer except for scheduled oil changes in 8 years. I must be lucky.
Eric V you are.
@Jonathan Losito And Ford even worse than CM.
The declining sales is the spreading of the Jeep FCA horrendously unreliable reputation. This Italian built "Jeep" is a Jeep in name alone. It's fully an Italian built Fiat. Thanks for the upload!
I drove this car before, my only complaint (which is a big one) is it has no pickup. I remember having to completely put my foot down on the gas while on the highway to merge and switch lanes.
Great video again. Question when can we see again redline and Alex auto live video
Good looking but I'd prefer a Suxuki Jimmy
Yes, if someone would make their own version here it would sell like hot cakes.
I believe the transfer case low range setting is not a true low range, it just keeps the transmission in first gear.
can you review the fiat version the 2020 trekking plus or sport?
i have rented both of them for road trips before years ago, I think the 500x had a better less busy ride. I liked the look of the Fiat better (pre refresh).
This is made for non US markets to buy. More gas efficient and easy to park. No way I’d take this thing into a jungle or mountain range however. But During a heavy rain or light snow storm in and out ofManhattan, Berlin, Tokyo or Milan? Sure ok.
@Planet Earth and yet they've sold hundreds of thousands of these in the US. Haters gonna hate
Front looks somewhat like a Jimny.
*Laughs in Scotty Kilmer*
It may not break the bank but it will break!
A heavily Jeepifyed FIAT 500X.
Never wanted a "Jeep" that bad to buy this
very good looking design though....
In the U.K the limited and the Track hawk come with a 2.0 litre diesel engine which gets around 40-45mpg with the 9 speed auto. This is the only review that has said the 9 speed box is poor...
I need the name of that song that plays at the beginning, is for swing purposes
Amazing, I don't see one positive, or even neutral, comment towards this car. So I might as well add my two cents. This is the car you buy when you are turned down at the Nissan dealership
My 2018 trailhawk feels the same it holds the gear when I step on it like it’s a cvt and it does not start from first gear it starts from second gear and never goes in to 9th gear
If this was a bit bigger and better engine it would be good.
I love seeing other people mention Scotty on other car videos lol.
Their needs to be a 2nd gen of the renegade
If they where Smart ( instead of cheap ) they will make it plug-in hybrid , or just hybrid to get better Milage
many years back a neighbor bought a fiat 500x....transmission broke in 2 months
Many years back? They came out in 2016... I've had 2 500x's, both have been perfect. First was a 2016 Easy which I drove across the country and put 60,000 miles in 2 years, my current one is a 2018 Trekking Urbana which I've also taken cross country. Yes, the ZF 9 speed leaves a lot to be desired, but do regular maintenance and it will treat you well.
My dad bought one new in 2016 and it has 76k miles so far. 2.4L 9 speed. No problems. The transmission isnt the best, it searches for gears too long and can be a bit jerky but has been solid so far. Being a car enthusiast I wasn't too happy with his choice but it's held up surprisingly well.
@@teej626 I bought a 2018 500x Urbana as well. Love it.
I owned a 2016 "Dawn of Justice" edition Renegade and I hated the transmission, bur the rest of it wasn't bad. After two years with the Renegade, I traded in in for a Subaru Crosstrek.
1.3 liter engine... Yet NINE speeds.
That alone is a failure.
I mean, should it have more? With a weaker engine, the more speeds help you squeeze more out of it and youre gonna need it lol.
Seen afew people drive these. NEVER a male driver though, middle to older female
My mom drives one.. she's 42
Eh... friends drives one. Though it's one of his parents and he took us out for breakfast in it.
I know a 43 year old gay man who has an orange Renegade
Yes, I know a girl who has one. Definitely not a guys vehicle!
You have to be very insecure to care
Charli d Amelio driving this like 😎
Off road ready? Probably only the trail hawk model. Even then it’s not that far off the ground. A Honda Element could probably do the same
Well, actually, Honda has the best awd in their biggest vehicles sh-awd(ivtm4), but Renegade is the only in this small segment with center locker and crawl ratio...they lift them 2 inch, add bit bigger tires and crawl with them over small rocks. It's on YT if people would take second from senseless bashing and check it out
What? 8.7” gc, 4L, terrain mgmt, crawl ctrl...nothing is touching the Renegade in this segment for offroad ability.
Richard Favreau for real?
Would have liked more detail on the Kenwood audio, than just saying it sounded "aftermarkety".
That's what happens when the average Joe becomes an automotive journalist
You can tell pretty easily if a sound system is not OEM
Compared to a Nissan Rogue Sport, Honda H-RV, Chevy Trax, etc. this is actually pretty quick. It’s just a slow segment. But 35k sticker? 😬
You couldn't give me this vehicle.
That mpg is hilarious and it's criminal to call this a SUV 😂
Asking $60,000 for a fully loaded one is blasphemy
Is the Kona a suv ? HRV ?
People don’t give FCA enough credit for the strides they’ve made in reliability. Dodge has been rated in the top ten most reliable brands according to Consumer Reports, who are notoriously hard on Chrysler. They still have a way to go of course, but they are steadily improving.
Fix it again Tony
wow, did you think of that all by yourself?
@@teej626 yup
Hi im new to the channel you do great work on video if i ever get out of chevys that would be my choice i really like the looks of the renegade trailboss
Omg from one domestic to another? You like Chevy? Have you spent quality time driving the foreign manufacturers? Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Kia?
@@joshua9073 Not all foreign brands are good. I do like Hyundai, as I've owned 3. Honda, Toyota? Junk, and boring as anything. I've owned a Mazda, and right at 100k miles, the engine blew. I used to like Subaru, but until they fix the burning oil problem and get rid of that horrible CVT, I'll stay away.
@@joshua9073 Worst car I ever had was a Lexus ES300. Not all imports are good. My 99 Ford Explorer was great. I now have a JGC and not one problem in 3 year, granted it is on a MBZ platform and was designed when the parent company was MBZ. I love my JGC
I'd buy the dam thing if I could get a 6spd manual transmission.
Prior to 2019 you can
endless moneypit
Thanks Scotty Kilmer
😄😄😄
Richard Favreau large and heavy ? Mmmmm sounds like it’s going to RIDE AND DRIVE NICE! Where does the weight come from? Sound insulation? Which Toyota DOESNT have. Where does the weight come from? A Rigid platform with better welds and stampings because of it has to be able to lift wheels of the ground during off roading and not split the car in half ? Do research on why jeeps are heavy and German feeling before you talk shit. If you want a tenny tin can feeling car. Then Toyota is just for you.
@Richard Favreau this isn't a large car.
Have you been keeping up with your oil changes?
The headlight is stolen from 2018+ Wrangler, not bad though.
I tested one of these before the shutdown in my state and my opinion of this “renegade”. Oh my what can I say without needing to bleep? I had to bend down like Quasimodo to get into the cargo area. Front part felt ok. Overall I felt like I was riding in a refrigerator box on a wooden crawler. The Cherokee attitude I tested felt more firm in ride and more ease of maneuvering around a city bus in rush hour traffic. Calling this Jeep a renegade is like calling the Nissan calling their crossover a rogue and rogue sport. And yes I drive a rogue sport.
I don’t like to hate on jeep but this thing is truly a money pit waiting to fall apart.
Wrong; the first Sub Compact SUV was the Juke.
I have a 2021 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and I have no issues so far. It does what it suppose to do. I think this video and the comments are way too nit-picky. If you want a faster more refined vehicle then buy a sports car. My Trailhawk is very pleasing actually. Much better than my 2017 Jeep Compass Latitude that I had.

Scotty sucks
@@kristians2704 I agree, he never actually says anything good about anything other that Toyota/Lexus, I left him long ago
Saw a neighbor bought one and it kept sitting in his drive way. Asked him why weeks later and he said the transmission broke the first week and he's still waiting to get in for a fix due to limited dealer capacity...
I have a grand Cherokee, Cherokee, compass, Wrangler and a renegade. The renegade is in my top three
You have more money then brains then
Damn that’s a lot of depreciation for one household
Nick R than*
i bet you lease them all, i want to see you drive one for 10 years
@@nickr3441 or less brains than money
I test drove one of these back in the fall of 2019, looking to upgrade from my base model Kia Soul. Jesus Christ I don't see how anyone could buy one of these - the engine was extremely underwhelming and that 9spd is literally the worst transmission ever put in a car. The transmission was constantly shifting, always trying to find the right gear to be in regardless if I were modulating the throttle, braking, or drove 100% smooth & steady. I'd much rather drive a Nissan with that god awful Xtronic CVT than this, don't even think about buying this car.
My work had a Renegade in back in 2018 and the person that returned it was complaining it wasn't shifting right. Took it for a drive on the highway and the transmission was on its last legs. Car only had like 20k miles. Nissan's CVTs which is the same Subaru uses have come a long way since they first came out. Our 2012 Quest went 150k miles hauling heavy loads before trading it in and still ran like new. FCA is garbage and always has been.
I’m amazed they still use that transmission
I’m surprise it didn’t break down during your review
www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/members/jimlonz.11138/#latest-activity I’m surprised his didn’t break in 200,000 miles. How about do research and not on scotty kilmers UA-cam. Sheep.
Positives
-Brand recognition
-Off road capabilities
-Discounts
Negatives
-Small size for the price
-Low MPG
- Heavy weight
-Spotty reliability from model/brand
Vehicles to consider when looking at the Renegade
-Jeep Compass : Same off-road capabilities in a larger package from the same brand.
-Every well equipped compact CUV for under $35k.
-Almost every subcompact CUV that prioritizes on-road capabilities, interior space/quality, features, and MPG.
what, a serious comment in this chat full of manure?
A garbage bin with tire shine on it 🚮🗑️
Beautiful all new Fiat 500L.
Ummm...no. Not even in the same class genius.
That interior looks straight from 2007
No, that’s Infiniti, Nissan , Toyota , and Honda you’re speaking of.
*TikTok has entered the chat*
Soymilk will like it as long as he likes the touch screen infotainment system and if it has Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Nothing else matters.
It's only a Jeepifyed FIAT 500X
OK it's a trail hawk.
What happen to the plug in hybrid they was suppose to launch this summer 2020. Seems Chrysler keep failing.
They’re launching it in Europe first
Mariano italiano 😂😂
I know everything I need to know about Jeep, Fiat/Chrystler from Scotty.
I don't know how ZF could build such horrible 9spd transmission when the ZF 8 speed is a superb transmission. I wish they would make a front wheel drive version of the ZF 8spd.. Even the old 6 spd Chrysler transmission is better than this 9 spd.
It might also have something to do with how Jeep has programmed the transmission - maybe to compensate for the lack of power from the engine. I have driven the ZF 9 speed in a Jaguar E-pace and it was just fine. Of course it had a more powerful engine with 250 hp so that might have something to do with it. No need to shift as much.
Mr MMJ Acura also use the ZF 9 speed and they have had issues with this transmission as well, even though they have programmed it better, it still has lots of flaws.
The ZF 9 speed is an excellent transmission, the problem is this is a copy of that which FCA has a license to manufacture from ZF and is made in Michigan, it’s a total pos due to typical FCA cost cutting.
I watch too much Scotty Kilmer. I love your channel, but I won’t even test drive this vehicle.
Nothing can ever possess me to buy American, let alone FCA.
Dodge makes some cool cars
My sentiments exactly
It's Italian
Off road ready 🤣
Were talking about gravel trails to the campsite right?
No. He mentioned it 20 times bro. It’s called ground clearance, skid plates, lockers , 4x4, modes , electronics. Did u just click the video , hit pause before he even said his intro , wrote this comment, then clicked off the video?Just stop
Why would anyone in good consciousness get this SUV when it’s based on a Fiat which is obviously terrible in comparison to other brands for the same money?
I always ask myself that
Cause american believe that anything made by fiat is garbage, when they simply don’t know this brand. I wish they would have brought the diesel version with 170hp. If you take care of the cars, they will last. Probably is not a Toyota, but if you want something different they are a great option, better than a Chevy for sure
Piersandro Mannino in Europe the Renegade is one of the most reliable vehicle of its class. But the engines are different and often so are the transmission
That moment when you want to thumbs down the video not because of the reviewer, but the trashy car.
Based on some of these comments I would say Fiat stands for Fix It Again Tony
something is wrong with film speed
If someone test drives a Jeep Renegade and still buys one then I just don't understand people or cars and probably both.
EDIT: I thought it would be the only one thrashing this vehicle. Lol.
I have always like these but damn $30+K, no thanks. I would rather take the upcoming 2.5ltr crosstrek or base forester. They might not be as off road worthy but plenty capable in some basic dirt trails and such or for camping, etc. For snow, the subies do just fine as I have owned several and always took them out in bad storms and they were always fun and capable, even with the CVT's, which are not my preference but they do their job just fine in MOST situations. Subaru's prices are definitely more enticing, if you stay with premium or base models. Bells and whistles, eh, just more stuff to go wrong down the line.

Any thing made by Fiat will be cheap made , that how that company made there fortune 🔮, selling cheap made car , that in the 70s and 80s in Europe and other areas was cheap made & cost and will break fast ..
Italian doesnt always mean good
Outside of racing, does it ever mean good?
Sofyan looked bored and disappointed...
Don’t care how many times they re-design it it’s a pile of crap had the 2019 model and within six months the engine seized they said it was a oil leak and the car is now a lemon
