2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk review

[@pilgrim7779]

The best OTD price I could find for my 2016 fully loaded Trailhawk was $32,400. I had to drive several hundred miles to pick it up, but it has proved well worth it. And yes, they do come with heated leather seats, not just cloth as stated in this review. These are a serious off-road capable vehicle because of the short wheelbase and sharp turning capabilities. The only thing I can compare it to is the older Suzuki Samurais. The only problem I have really had is that small rocks/pebbles occasionally get stuck in my brake rotor shield, but I can usually get these out in less than one minute with my fingers. These are awesome. You get what you pay for.

[@bradh6185]

Do you still have the Renegade Trailhawk? How reliable has it been? Any oil consumption issues?

[@Jack-Surreal_Panes]

getting a 16 loaded trailhawk around 18,000. The Fiat dealer is adding their lifetime engine trans warranty as long as I own the Jeep.

[@jim6807]

I got mine for 21k used with 9k miles on it with a 7 year/100k mile warranty.... super sweet daily and very capable off road! I've taken mine through some really nasty mud and have climbed some pretty steep hills, it's actually pretty surprising for being completely bone stock.. as it will stay that way. Good vehicle for the wife as well 👍👍

[@bradh6185]

How is it holding up? Any oil consumption issues or other problems?

[@socalrenegal9409]

I have one. Black on black with the high package, power everything, sunroofs and leather. Its awesome for fire trails, camping/kayaking.

[@greggp1956]

The 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk SUV has a recurring power seat problem that prevents the use of the 8-way and lumbar functions. The problem causes the driver seat to freeze and lock into a position on the seat floor tracks. This could create a serious problem in the event of an emergency. The dealer service department is clueless on fixing the problem.

[@decnijfkris3706]

In the end Jeep has understood with the Renegade and the new Compass that there is a market for the brand amongst low profile buyers.

[@songbird372p7]

Completely what i was no looking for, but ran across my eye in lime green..! Loved it!😅2018 30k but only $15500!what do u think 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@gelstrong]

Sounds like a steal!!

[@losmazeman]

Good buy!

[@genius-no5sl]

This is badass period

[@jonhettrick7969]

The Jeep Renegade trailhawk is very capable off-road it just doesn't have a lot of ground clear.

[@jannis2072]

I think he meant to say 29000 not 39000

[@Tyrann86]

this is autotrader.ca he is right....it does cost a crazy amount here in Canada.

[@eric321ification]

Agreed. That is not the US list price. It is a bit of a niche product. I bought one and this review helped me decide. Thanks. PS. The manual shifting mode is really nice for quick acceleration.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I don't know!! I think he did said 39 grand!! :-0

[@Nate_HarietteYouTube_Adventure]

Not everyone uses real money lol

[@SameelJabir]

How’s your fuel consumption so far with JeepRenegade Like Km/L or Mpg ( Miles per Gallon)

[@shiftintohigh5564]

What is all that white stuff on the ground?

[@thorandmoljnir]

You need to do a comparison with this and the Crosstrek. I'm betting the Subie could go anywhere this jeep could for about $10000 less.

[@tungol00]

thorandmoljnir Oh absolutely, but if you're serious off road this will be better awd system wise.

[@kevindavis7198]

Why would anyone want a Subaru?

[@thorandmoljnir]

Better built, better durability, better fuel economy, better all wheel drive system, better looking, more dependable, safer...Why anyone would buy anything from FCA, with some of the worst dependability on the road, is beyond me.

[@kevindavis7198]

thorandmoljnir it's a very similar awd system Subarus r very plain looking and the quality is no better than the jeep

[@ArnetPhotography]

I believe he's talking about customer service, but my subaru lasted for a good 9 years with very little maintenance eventually, gasket issues, timing belt ect cropped up and the car got to expensive to repair, that being said I've heard of Jeeps being great for car people who know how to fix their own vehicle and mod it up but bad for everyone else, don't get me wrong I totally respect Jeep culture for that, but for me I want an AWD vehicle that just works and Subaru generally fills that Niche plus they have more space and are generally better for a short dude like myself. My Civic is in the shop(probably totaled) though from someone rear-ending it and I will say that the Renegade is becoming a very appealing 4x4 alternative vehicle for me. Living in New Mexico dirt roads, and even tough mountain passes in the Northern part of the state are pretty common and we do get snow. My Civic hated dirt roads esp after rains and snow became dangerous to drive on points, so AWD is a requirement period this time around.

Esse carro meus sonhos jeep renegade top meu deus uma benca

[@marcosarno2762]

No way anyone's paying 39k for a renegade. It's a nice jeep and I'm sure it's capable but not for that much

[@jannis2072]

He got the numbers wrong. It cost 26000 for the trailhawk.

[@jacobblack5414]

This is a Canadian site, these are Canadian prices.

[@momoney71o9]

Marco Sarno my ex is paying 44k for hers... Lol no 4wd or anything🤣

[@ListeningPoint]

He needs to specify that he is measuring the price in worthless Canadian Loons.

[@siriusjones956]

It's.ca. different currency! You need to check

[@BoopSnoot]

Canadough

[@centaurus1965a]

He is talking for his audience. It is you who need to check which currency he is talking about, maybe the fact that the video was published by autoTRADER Canada should give you a clue.

[@BoopSnoot]

[@jnordman86]

What is the difference between this and the Renegade latitude?

[@dennisr7452]

Latitude does not have skid plates, tow hooks, rock mode or low range. It appears low range just stays in first gear, but the gearing on the Trailhawk is different than the Latitude. The Trailhawk is a little higher than the Latitude because of stronger springs. The Trailhawk has a much better front bumper for clearance.

Like everyone else, very confused as to where he got his prices from, since he seems to be wrong by about $10k

[@sammax4245]

in Canada dollar is worth less then American dollar

[@autotrader_ca]

Like we said to those folks, this is a Canadian review on a Canadian website. These are the Canadian prices. I hope that helps clear up your confusion.

[@kingofmfinghearts8625]

Would have been nice with a 3.6, instead of the 2.4😂

[@BoopSnoot]

This year it gets a new 1.3T.

[@lizdestefano4905]

I want one soon badly but I have question does it matter which renegade I get? What is the difference between the others?

[@tommyhache945]

Trailhawk is the most offroad capable of them all with a low setting on the 4x4 and different bumper for better hill approch, red tow hooks and alot of fun😈😆

[@bjbinmke]

I decided to not buy a Renegade; the transmission lagged between 1st and 2nd gear. Very annoying.

[@glennsurgey6206]

Comparing with a wrangler really ??? if your comparing vehicles they need to be in the same size category so renegade is in compact crossover class it's like comparing a compact car with large family saloon like a BMW I have a renegade it's a great little jeep if you want a wrangler buy a wrangler don't buy a renegade then mone about it's not a wrangler these are 2 totally different vehicles for different types of people renegade is for the person who wants to use it everyday in comfort then head off in to the woods or down to the beach at a weekends but if you want to go rock crawling up mountains every weekend the wranglers for you.

[@RenatoMontandondeLima]

I have a Renegade Trailhawk, excellent car. Walks on almost all terrains. Lots of comfort. In the mud you need appropriate tires, those that come from the factory do not help. See mine in action: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKimhKRrq5djsNk

[@ammarahmed9540]

I cant believe it does not have leather seats

[@ccredmansvids]

It's an option that's fairly common, you're more likely to find one with leather seats then the beats audio like the one they tested.

[@andrewhowden5826]

Ah right,so no super bright lights.

[@skunkypuppy3445]

i bought a jeep renegade and kind of regret it. pros are its great in snow and i like how it looks, and gas mileage is about 32 mpg . cons are interior is poorly designed and small. the glove compartment is so tiny it cannot hold the owners manual. i kid you not. within a month of purchase a tire blew. and surprise it does not come with a spare tire, nor a jack, nor a lug nut wrench. nothing but a can of fix a flat. the blown tire was clearly defective but the company has refused to reimburse me for the new tire, despite the fact that VIP sent them the tire so they could see for themselves that it was a defective tire. also the wipers sit in this deep crevice below the hood. so any snow or freezing rain must be dug and chipped out of the crevive since warming the windshield will not affect this area at all. the headlights, even on bright are extremely dim, to the point that i dont feel safe driving it at night. and visability via side and back windows is totally nonexistant. if i had it to do over, i would not have bought this vehicle. the jeep "family" is dead. they now produce shit vehicles with no customer care.

[@pilgrim7779]

That's too bad. I think over time you'll appreciate that Tigershark engine which has proved to be tough as nails on mine. You can adjust your headlights and the wipers on mine are heated because I got the cold weather package (recommended for cold/snowy climates). I had a defective tire on mine as well, but they replaced ASAP free of charge because it was covered under warranty. Your 32 mpg is a little better than mine, but I usually drive around 75 mph.

[@vmgzombie]

I keep the owner's manual and a bunch of other junk in my glove box..what are you talking about?

[@ccredmansvids]

You get a full size (not a donut) tire on the trailhawk version like the one they tested. Probably about half the cars sold now have fix a flat crap now and not even space for a donut so this is actually somehow a improvement.

[@yanni2737]

!!Fake review alert!!

[@mrtitus62174]

@@vmgzombie he is trolling

[@kameronspencer4863]

The renegade is not a Jeep. It looks like a Kia Soul. They canned the Jeep look to keep up with modernization. Jeep should have stayed with the 80's-90's grand Cherokee look for their SUV's & just kept the wrangler. Jeeps are way too expensive now in accordance to their price.

Anibal Babilonia the cost was in Canadian money not USD. You can get a fully loaded Renegade Trail hawk for about $33,000

For the same price one can get a forester xt with way more power, the same off road capability, and way, way better build quality.
