I’ve watched several Jeep Renegade review videos and this is probably the best one yet. This lady does an excellent job in detailing the hybrid modes and I believe she is very honest about the Jeep’s pros and cons.
I got myself a 2018 jeep renegade limited 1.6 turbodiesel in September and its awesome, great mpg over 60 mpg easily and its quick enough an has plenty torque so overtakes are a breeze, comfiest seats ive had in any car an full leather an heated front seats an steering wheel too, i think its best motor I've had and it drives great, its cool, fun ,quirky and plenty room for mountain bike an camping gear in back with rear seats down,ive sat in the back seat behind my drivers seat an plenty leg and head room an im 5 feet 9, really can't praise this car enough, its got character an soul , love my jeep 😍 great review and pretty cool colour of renegade in video 👍🏴
I have a first generation renegade 2 L diesel remaps and I’m getting just under 40 miles with gallon around town. I don’t have a problem with his hand. I think you handle very well.
I've just spent a while driving a Renegade Trailhawk 4xe in Spain, and I liked it. It is very frugal in short journeys and super smooth with plenty of power when in hybrid mode, I wouldn't say it handles badly, though, it's not a car but it's miles better on road than a 4x4 fitted with KO2s or similar all terrain tyres, lastly the cargo space is lacking! It's a small car, but there's almost no space at all in the boot. I like it, but that tiny boot isba huge compromise.
I like the look of this Jeep Renegade, even if its a bit plasticy. It might not be the most practical. Bad on fuel, handling and realability, but Its a bit fun and quirky.
Hello fellow Tentboxer - I have a 2016 Trailhawk (diesel) and it is equally unrefined, but with a 9 speed box and armfuls of torque, it pulls so well, it feels like nothing will stop it, and with all terrain tyres (proper ones not the all-weather tyres shown here) it pretty much can go anywhere in the UK! Biggest issue with all Fiat built cars, they're not very special and are built to a price. So after 8 years, ours has started to develop problems; worn engine mounts, oil pressure regulator and the a/c compressor, all needing replacing.
It's far more economical than this suggests. It isn't sluggish with a flat battery as there is a buffer. Run it in hybrid to benefit from free electric miles. Don't buy it if you want a car experience, it's a Jeep so don't compare it to other vehicles.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. The Interior looks smarter now. The New 2023 Jeep Cherokee went on sale recently and I would like you to book It for a Video Review
Good review but one important information is missing i.e. it's price and comparison to older gasoline models. I was in the market for a new car recently. Got convinced to buy a jeep renegade but not this one. The price was ridiculous for very little additional benefit compared to gasoline engine. Bought a used one. And that is a substantial saving not peanuts on fuel prices difference.
I've had this car for over a year and so much here I don't agree with... to the point that I stopped the video early. Run it in hybrid mode as the dealer will have told you to do. I get 70 mpg that way, and that's driving mostly rural at 60 mph. Sat nav is fine, no need for android or apple nav. Lost the will to live after that. Edit... driving in Esave mode means that you are using petrol to drive the car AND charge the battery at the same time. So that only makes sense if you are driving into a low emmision zone when you will switch to electric mode, but not for everyday use.
Interesting choice of car. I think they are a funky looking car a bit different. A pity they Jeep are not more popular here in Ireland. They got a bad reputation for poor reliability here and have never shaken it off here.
Only 1 dealer in Ireland and that's in Belfast. Might explain their popularity elsewhere. Lots on the road near their dealership in south Belfast. Not heard of this 'bad reputation' you mention.
@@seanandhelen I was one also and nothing, but problems. It really depends on the years, models and engines/transmissions. For example, thee Grand Cherokee had serious transmission issues 2014-2017. They all had issues with the Diesels too. That said, the Renegade internal components are mostly Fiat as it was mostly designed by Fiat and built by Fiat.
I like the look and concept of it - but am put off by Jeep’s poor reputation for reliability and also as I suspect the Trailhawk version in particular would command a very high insurance premium?
JEEP is stuffed in Australia, burnt so many customers, would not be surprised to see it leave out shores ua-cam.com/video/5sVmoOZRypk/v-deo.html&start_radio=1

I think the 1.6 diesel is really the sweet spot for economy in the range. Pity there's no auto option, or 4wd.
The Renegade is the 4th best selling car in Italy and the best selling SUV in Italy.
Oh really? That’s interesting 🤔
@@AutoSocialUK They were mostly made in Italy. Maybe that could explain why they’re so popular there.
@@DaveDVideoMaker All the EU Renegades are made in Italy.

For a 4x4 it hasn't got bad handling what so ever, and the reliability is brilliant. As long as you look after it, it will look after you.

Nice honest review. I always appreciate that and so few car reviewers are really honest.
People are only quoting the range when in full electric mode. How long will it last when only driving rear wheels in electric?

Great auto Jeep all around … lovely ❤
Ma'am presentation is super .

Check your local dealers for ex-demo models. Low milage and the potential for good deals.
Hi your reviews always helpful and interesting to watch
Can you please review nissan juke hybrid and mpg test please thank you 😊
Hello!! I just missed out on the Juke Hybrid launch but I will get in contact and see when they’re able to send one out to me. Thank you for watching
@@AutoSocialUK thank you for replying. And looking forward to watch your next video thanks

It’s normal Fiat reliability.

@@afcgeo882Jeep owner for years. Zero issues. It’s all made up by haters. Great cars 👍🏻

Did you try one with regular tyres? That would improve ride and fuel economy
And without a tent box 😂😂
How does it fare for serious offroad activities? It's not available here in the USA yet, so I might wait for it.
Brilliant like the other trialhawk renegades that are in the US
Or even better.
I like the look and concept of it - but am put off by Jeep’s poor reputation for reliability and also as I suspect the Trailhawk version in particular would command a very high insurance premium?
We're is the electric charging points off road
I’m really surprised this runs out of electric and doesn’t go into regular hybrid mode like a similarly set up Toyota would.
They do reserve a little electric ⚡️
@@AutoSocialUK Does it charge off the engine and braking though? Toyotas charge up during motorway cruising rather well.
@@afcgeo882 Yes George, regen from braking goes to battery and excess from engine goes to the electric motor while driving to give 4x4.
Ok, Tish, serious question: who is the best batman? 😂
Sounds like jeep still does things the cheapest way, thanks for the review it was great 👍
Great review. Shame about the Jesus Sandals :)
Hahahah not many people like these, I love them! 😊
@@AutoSocialUK What are thooooooooooose:)
Come on, this does NOT compete with the Renegade, this is a sof lightweight SUV. BTW you are very cute, cheers

You should review Indian cars: Tata Punch, Mahindra Scorpio N and Maruti Suzuki Breza to get more views 😜
Tish will have to go to India to review them. I think she should review some cars not sold in the UK.
Good luck off-road in that. Add that it’s electric. Hell no.
Tom, 2 engines, petrol on the front axle and electric on the back. Very capable.
@@eddieaicken5687 I can see that working a treat. Again good luck
@@fugawiausthey actually do
A rather attractive woman driving a Jeep? This is already a good day after seeing such a thing.
Oh no it’s a Renegade
I didn’t mind it!
I love that bikini
The interior is all very Fiat which ruins it imo
