2020 Jeep Renegade Limited - Watch Before You Buy!

[@TRDGE]

I don't care what people say about the Renegade, I like, wife loves it, and it's an overall great vehicle for both on concrete and on the trail. Great presentation! Can't wait for your take on the Bronco whenever it launches.

[@revmatchtv]

Thanks. My friend has a Renegade Trailhawk and loves it. Excited for the Bronco!

[@bogdanbosoi1483]

Very underrated car! I had mine for 26000kms ( 2019 Limited 1.3turbo) and it drove flawless. The 1.3 turbo engine has enough grunt for every situation, the brakes are instant, and the level of refinement ( lack of interior noise and total absence of vibration) is above many high end cars that I have driven. Also the wind noise above 140km/h on Renegades equipped with accoustic glass ( Limited) is on par with many luxury sedans. Great allround car with solid feel and very refined drive. The Led headlights are also outstanding in the dark, compared to most bixenons. The steering is very quick, precise and cleverly weighted. I can honestly say that the facelifted Renegade is a bargain .

[@Norbiehess]

Renegades have come a long way and the 2020 model is IT. A true Jeep. I just purchased mine couple of weeks back. Just like the one in the video (Top trim, AWD, All the packs) but in Blue. They are just amazing.

[@ianosborne4283]

Renegades are by far the most attractive suvs ever made

[@tedwalker1370]

A lot like a Kia Soul except able to get 4 wheel drive in the Renegade.

[@this_connor_guy]

Got a 2017 Renegade. Absolutely love mine. That selective 4 wheel drive is great for snowy winters, but small enough to have in the city. Perfect amount of space to lug around my music equipment. No complaints on my end. That park assist would surely come in handy though, haha!

[@revmatchtv]

Park assist is a very cool feature

[@elbowsout6301]

It's really great to see someone take a "Non-Trailhawk" off-road! I have a 2016 Renegade (Dawn of Justice Edition) and it's been great for the past 80,000 kms. Now that it's paid off I've been looking at new vehicles but honestly I might just put some money into modifying my little jeep instead, lift it up a couple inches maybe add some all terrain tires, skid plates, and rock sliders and just hit the trails.

[@revmatchtv]

It's a capable little vehicle!

[@georgeparker7838]

I bought one of these , a LTD, in 2019 and kept in for three years whilst it was under warranty. It was made in Spain which worried me a bit, howerver the only fault in three years was a faulty outside temperature sensor which kept telling me to beware of ice when it was mid summer. The sensor is under the wing mirror. They simply changed the whole mirror, under warranty. Apart from that is was superb. Never missed a beat. I live in rural Scotland, so we had a bit of dirty trail stuff. The 4WD was excellent. The heated seats and heated steering wheel were just right for the Highlands. I traded it for a Merc ML350 whch was a heap of junk. I should have stayed with the Jeep.

[@Jano1998]

If you think 8:54 is a tight spot, you don't want to see German parking spots 🤣. However, I love this car and the video. I really want to get a Renegade.

[@vishnu9264]

nah you should check out india, traffic moves as close as 1inch

[@luchaDor]

As much as I love Renegade reviews, you have a Huge error at 2:30. The Renegade Trailhawk does not have a Transfer Case & 4WD Low Range as a traditional 4X4 does...ie Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee. It has a 4Low 'simulator', (Jeep's words, not mine), which just locks the vehicle into 1st Gear (with a better gear ratio over non-Trailhawk variants 21.5:1 vs 20:1). Trailhawk has different front & rear bumpers for improved approach & departure angles, 'Rock' mode on the dial, skid plates and Falken Wildpeak HT's and yes, a slight lift over other models. Anyone looking for a Renengade should look to the 1.3L Turbo for improved performance and reliability. Thanks!

[@revmatchtv]

Thanks for the clarification

[@Toycoma]

You do not get a transfer case in thre trailhawk version. You get a lower gear ratio in the differentials. 4.33 in the trailhawk version vs the 3.73.

[@kidbreaker1500]

Im here today cuz me and the wife just bought this.we traded in our 2016 jeep patriot towards this.needed to see what she wanted

[@802Garage]

Holy wow, Eric! Huge step up in quality. Genuinely thought this was a different channel from frame 1. Then I recognized you. High level production for sure and your energy was great too. Can tell you were into making this great. I like the passenger dash oh shit handle. That's for hangin' on tight when the driver goes over jumps, hahaha. Despite the gauges being a bit simple and plasticky looking, I kinda dig them. Oh man that dead stop acceleration was AWFUL. You still made me more interested in this rig than I expected though. Great video!

[@revmatchtv]

Glad you enjoyed it! Trying to step up my review game! For the price and decent off-road and bad weather creds there some competition, but the Renegade is unique.

[@ChristineDuran-oz8oq]

You did a awesome video

[@NFPC06]

I'd caution anytime thinking of buying one. My 2.4L engine seized at 14,000 with a fresh dealership oil change. At 30,000 the transmission failed. The struts will bend super easy too. I have been in the Jeep service center more then 20 times. Also there is now a class action lawsuit for the 2.4L Tigershark engine because of oil warning failures and excess oil consumption. Jeep says 1 quart every 750 miles after 50,000 miles is "normal". Buyer beware.

[@social_lag]

I haven’t encountered this problem, and I’m at 23,000mi, whats your environment? That might’ve had play in it seizing

[@ckamp1103]

Got my 2019 Renegade Limited 4x4 for about a year and going to do my first off road course in a couple weeks with it. Very curious how it will perform!

[@linchester8464]

Great review. 36 grand is kinda steep. For the same price or cheaper you can get the Forester Limited or Touring spec which is the highest spec Forester bigger space all round. And it has all time AWD. The 2.5L Boxer engine wont suffer from turbo lag. But not many are a fan of the CVT. I daily drive the Crosstrek that has the CVT and it pretty smooth. Under normal driving the gearbox is very silent. Only under a dig will the gearbox strain. As well as the engine as i have the puny 1.6L version. There were 2 or 3 recalls for Subaru to replace some parts which i did send my car back to the dealer for the replacement. But no complains. Still missed my 2004 2.0XT Forester Turbo but have to kill it because the gearbox was shot and the replacement wasnt cheap.

[@revmatchtv]

At $36K it's fully loaded. That said, I've seen these at dealers for around $30K right now. The Forester is great.

[@802Garage]

Yeah this def isn't what I would pick for $36K, but I also don't think it's the worst option.

[@social_lag]

You can get pretty good deals on them, mine was 36k and I only paid 29k

[@AlexanderAddams]

The wrangler is actually smaller (2 door). Just the engine is smaller.

[@Brandon-to9vp]

I don't think tailhawk has a transfer case, it just locks in 1st gear, you can do the same with limited model, just put it in manual mode haha

[@jerroldshelton9367]

You're correct. The Renegade Trailhawk doesn't have a transfer case. What it does have is a fairly low first gear of 4.70:1 in combination with a 4.33:1 final drive ratio and that's how you get the 20:1 (21:1 in models later than mine, which have a slightly lower final drive gearing) "crawl ratio." The use of a hydraulic automatic, with a torque converter to give 2:1 torque multiplication off idle, helps mask this "crawl ratio" to a degree, as does the vehicle's relatively light (by modern standards) curb weight. In normal driving, the transmission on my Renegade Trailhawk starts off in second gear, which at 2.84:1 is more like the first gear in a traditional automatic transmission. Where I go, it's the gearing that prevents me from taking my Renegade Trailhawk everywhere I used to go in the TJ that I had. It's not the tiny tires, independent suspension all the way around, or lack of locking differentials. If the thing had a 40:1 low range, it would take me pretty much everywhere I want to go off pavement. Even 30:1 would work. I "sky" a lot of tires in the Renegade, but the brake-based torque vectoring works well enough to make this inconsequential and allows those in contact with the ground to keep the thing putzing along. From the factory, you get a 30 degree approach, 25.5 degree breakover, and 34 degree departure angle, and that's why the weenie little 27.5 inch tall tires work okay.

[@michaelsmith9308]

is that a gas locking exterior door?

[@Cleaning_Hero]

That’s a ridiculous price but I like they way they drive. A certified preowned version would be much more reasonable around 16k.

[@michaels999]

The sticker price on jeeps means nothing because they are always offering incentives I wish they would put the actual price on the window so that you don’t have to play the game

[@shamelessnjc]

That looks like a High Altitude Edition trim to me not a Limited. It’s actually a step up from the Limited and is also why everything is black inside, that’s part of the trim package.

[@revmatchtv]

It is the Limited. It’s a press car. It came with the factory sticker with all the options listed.

Some of the extream off roading isn't for the common person and this Jeep is just fine for the common person

Overall this car is ideal for our roads , performing excellent on both highways and "countryside" roads, you know what I mean , althought I suspect that the 4xe is more offroad capable than the one reviewed. @RevMatchTV , excellent review , keep up the good work.

As soon as Chrysler sells it to Toyota or Honda, then I'll buy one

[@chadhanson4369]

Chrysler got bought out by FCA with completely new engineers from Maserati and alpha Romeo now designing jeeps entire lineup. That’s why they drive nicer than a Honda or Toyota because they sell over 2.2 million of these jeep and dodge vehicles every year they can put quality materials in them on my condo selling a fourth of that and can’t afford as nice and materials I do think it’s unfair to compare people who take jeeps off-road to someone who drives a Honda on pavement and say the Honda last longer because if Honda was an off-road brand they would have a bad reputation because rock tears up metal

Is that on the turbo engine and which one did you drive? Thanks

[@EverettVinzant]

Conventional American thinking is bigger is better? No. I always looked at it as a ratio of size to capability. My Renegade TrailHawk is both shorter length than the Renegade you made the video on AND more capable. I was appalled to hear they only make the TrailHawk in a 1.4 Liter now... because you know what people were REALLY complaining about was it having TOO much power. Put a damned turbo on the 2.4 liter TrailHawk, offer it with a manual transmission, and that thing would sell like hotcakes... But, instead we have the crap FCA is trying to foist on us...

I had a couple of 2000 and 2004 GC 4.7 many years ago but in terms of build quality the actual GC and Wrangler are a complete joke.
