Good honest review. I actually owned very similar 2021 4xe S-version (240Hp) for 4 months now and I can agree with this review. The best part is that it does what it promises and does it in a fun and surprising way. It's a great feeling to not have to think about where you can go with your car. The Renegade performs well in snow as well. We've had a terrible icy snowy winter this year and steep inclines in 30+cm of untracked snow was no obstacle at all - even with the Mrs on the wheel! The worst issues that I've had so far are: android audio connectivity some times malfunctions which is really a bummer when you're listening to some audio streaming while driving, and secondly the rear window/parking camera gets dirty really easily due to the car's form factor in poor weather. With these two being pretty much the only drawbacks so far I'm really happy with the car. That being said when choosing an electric car the decision is not so simple since the correct choice will vary depending on personal driving habits. For my commuting the PHEV is really good fit - especially with these fuel prices!

I've had one for 21 months now. I really love it: it does the off-road thing and costs next to nothing for my daily commute. Interestingly, when I bought mine, Jeep were claiming a 32 mile range in electric mode. What I've found is that in Winter it's more like 20 miles, but in Summer I can get nearly 30 miles out of the batteries. That's chemistry for you.

Alternative PHEVs are thin on the ground at that price, more expensive and able to tow would be the Discovery Sport PHEV and Range Rover Evoque. Hopefully JLR might allow you a week or two in the New Land Rover Defender P400e PHEV if it ever comes to fruition.......... I gave up waiting for the one I ordered after 3 cancelations by LR and bought a diesel one..........

Don’t forget the Countryman PHEV. Yes, I know it’s not really an off roader but it is 4x4 ( sort of). But it’s probably similar to the Jeep in everything else. Real EV only range around 20 miles and combined mpg around 90. About the same boot space.Tbh it’s probably just as long and wide......... jack up the Countryman Phev by 18 inches and they’d be the same thing!

In my opinion, PHEV should have at least 75 km EV range, preferably more than 100 km. Norway have some registration tax benefits for PHEV. They need at least 50 km EV range for max benefits. This was suggested increased to 75 km for 2021 budget, but didn't stay to the final agreement. In general I am opposing hybrids, but especially none plugins. But I appreciate that pure EV, isn't a viable alternative for everyone, and a PHEV can be a better alternative to replace ICE, for some. With constantly increasing number of charging options, I believe PHEV will eventually be replaced by pure EV.

Great video. Someone who gets this particular 'family' - no doubt there will be the usual badge snobs - oh it's a Fiat comment - yawn. Did you miss the 'easter eggs' dotted around the car? You're right about the knobs (so you can wear gloves in winter) but there are volume controls etc behind the steering wheel - I use those mostly on my Jeep Compass. The Uconnect head unit is pretty quick as you showed. It can be changed by the user easily eg in winter I have heated steering wheel on the display - I'll change it for Tunein next week.

I’m sorry, bu I don’t buy the argument that PHEVs are a good alternative for those that can’t charge a BEV at home. PHEVs need a daily charge, so if you can’t charge a BEV at home you can’t charge a PHEV either. Otherwise they are nothing but heavy self-charging hybrids. But in any mode you drive them, they for most of us much better than the diesel or the non-hybrid petrol version, and they even have some advantages to a BEV. And that orange, is great 😜

An SUV doesn't have to have 4x4, I don't know where people get that idea from. Sports. Utility. Vehicle. Now, it's arguable that Sports shouldn't be in the name given the asthmatic performance of most of these vehicles, but my wive loves her 2wd SUV for it's high seating position and ease of manoeuvring. 4wd has nothing to do with it. What do you suggest we all call a 2wd SUV, if it's identical to a 4wd version of the same vehicle?

From what I understand, the electric drives the rear axle/wheels, the petrol engine drives the front wheels. So in full electric, you have a rear drive only vehicle, and in full gas mode, you have a front wheel drive. In 4x4 you are running in combined mode of gas and electric, which is how the torque is increased for off roading. Cheers

Where you driving the nuts off it and if driven sedately do you think 26 to 30 miles possible. What ratio of electric to petrol miles did you do to obtain the 88mpg. How deep was the spare wheel well , would there be room for an lpg tank. with a flat battery what do you think think the mpg would be.

It’s noisy compared to the quiet EV mode and the gearbox is as thick as they usually are but driven sedately it wouldn’t bother me. It’s definitely not quiet when the engine is running but not intrusive. I wouldn’t expect smooth and refined from a Jeep though, nor expect it. EV mode is fine, just not ‘zippy’.

I have the petrol only Jeep Compass. The only time it revs is if the engines very cold but it settles down after about a mile. Mines the 9speed ZF auto - I can't say it's ever missed a beat but then again these are not sports cars. It's surprisingly good at motorway speeds and you sit up nice and high. You should take one for a test drive and you might be surprised as I was. I was not keen on the manual box particularly with the stop/start but that can always be turn off.

Thanks both. You two are a decent team. Being kind, as requested, but entirely subjective the car loses out on these points: 1) It's boring SUV. Time for more decent BEV estate cars. 2) It's a Frankencar. Nobody will want them in a few years' time. 3) It has two motive power systems which can fail. 4) You pay for purchase, maintenance and repair of both power systems. 5) You have to endure the roar and stench of tortured dinosaurs every time you accelerate hard. On the plus side: 1) It's useful for people who don't feel brave enough/haven't the charging infrastructure to go full BEV. 2) It looks like fun. 3) It can genuinely handle off-road conditions (or the average U.K. urban road these days). So on balance: ⅜ = 37.5% But it's only my assessment. 😁👍 Seriously now: It has its place, and it's well made, but it has a very limited future, as a vehicle type, in some major world markets. Fuel prices, taxes and legislation will kill probably them off within a decade. So these could be something of a last gasp for fossil-fuelled cars..

So it charges at 6.6kwh but only has Type2 so no Rapid charging. So if you wanted to drive on full electric on your 50 mile journey your gonna be sitting for 1.75 hrs from empty to full for your ‘20’ miles range? Does it have a ptc heater or still use the 1.3l Petrol engine water heating system which means it’s always running when you need heat in winter.

Boot release mechanisms often fail and random software glitches declaring a problem with the electromechanical handbrake.

@@Baldy444 I’ve driven both renegade (diesel auto and manual models) plus a hybrid outlander. Tbh the outlander is impressive on the road, it handles well and acceleration is rapid, not tried the renegade hybrid yet though. I agree the renegade isn’t the most attractive car but then again I wouldn’t want an outlander, same shape as everything else these days! I prefer old school boxy jeeps, wranglers, cherokees etc, but I’m seriously considering the hybrid renegade, because let’s be honest - your outlander’s off road ability probably can’t touch a trailhawk....
