Yeah, I liked the Renegade aesthetic a bit, and the idea of a fuel-efficient offroader. IIRC, the Renegade could tow up to 2000lb too, and the MySky roof could make it feel almost like a Wrangler. Is removing Renegade doors becoming popular? It's a shame that they tend to consume oil. I wasn't a fan of the FWD-based drivetrain, and the lack of a low-range.

We have two of these as company cars. For reference, at my job I often I have to go on construction worksites which obviously often times involve some light off-roading. Before this we had a FWD Ford Escape that got stuck a few times, and before that a Ford Focus that was a forced pavement princess. I asked my boss if he'd be willing to shop for something other than a Ford for the next car, he said yeah, I suggested Jeep because I think we should get something that sits high off the ground, is 4WD, can carry our equipment, and doesn't cost that much. After doing some car shopping, the Renegade fit the bill and that's what we got. So far it's been my favorite vehicle we've had yet. But apparently the one my coworker drives breaks a lot so my boss hasn't been as happy with it as the Fords were. And I spent the majority of 2020 in and out of the shop on mine due to a funky electrical issue that kept shutting the car down mid-trip. Otherwise I enjoy driving them, and I love the amenities. We're about to swap em out soon and my boss wants to go back to Ford. Fingers crossed for 4WD Mavericks, I already suggested it but... my boss might be skeptical with my suggestions after these Renegades. I told him they share a platform with the Escape, so maybe that'll help convince him.

Would have loved them to give it a truck bed to compete with the Mav as well as the "offroad" crossover truck. They are very popular in my area and i personally own one simply because they can drive into Pittsburgh and feel right at home, and still can handle land access roads to the old farms that are often rutted and muddy. Coil pack went on mine at about 50k and some of the plastic bits inside have broken. Engine is a bit rattly and the back seat is a little cramped for car seats. The torque vectoring system is pretty loud when its working and the standard rotors are worthless. They warped on a trip deeper into the Appalachian mountains when i had it loaded with gear. Some lf the paint on the inside of the hatch is peeling and I personally wish i had opted for the TH model instead of a latitude. Love the stupid little thing.

[@Michael-uc2pn]

At least in the south they had a reputation for being lemons, and for anyone who didn't need to go off road there were way better small SUV options for on road use. Not to mention the very polarizing looks. The compat SUV segment is dominated by SUVs that all look like some varient of a small Chevy blazer for a reason. I think in the end it fell into the "Why we can't have cool cars" hole because it was kind of a niche vehicle, and at its price point, would have to be selling in huge numbers to justify the investment in updating it. If they could sell tricked out ones for $50k they'd still be making them.

[@AHungryHunky]

@Michael-uc2pn Oh yeah, the price was a huge issue near the end, why would you buy a TH Rene when you could get a more capable 2 door sport wrangler that had about the same footprint for less?

It’s funny to see how little “car guys” actually know about cars. The Renegade, Compass, 500x and the Cherokee (2013-2023) were all mostly US-designed and engineered on a Fiat-Chrysler platform that debited originally on the Alfa Giulietta. The AWD systems, most engines, all transmissions, suspensions, steering, infotainment… all 100% Jeep designed. Fiat had decided to consolidate production for the Renegade with the 500x in Italy to save money and because they thought that most sales of these tiny CUVs would stay in Europe (they were right). Later on, they also produced it in Brazil and China. So while the Renegade was assembled in Italy alongside the 500x with which it shares A LOT of parts, under the skin, it is almost entirely Jeep, for better or worse. In fact, so is the 500x. In fact, the lead designers were Jeremy Glover and Ian Hedge (both were Jeep designers at the time, Ian is now with Mazda).

"It's just a fiat" and that's pretty great, modern fiats are tight and run great.

[@jorgelujan5055]

My parents bought one like 3 years ago and my mother was using it for work and one day there was a lot of smoke coming out of the hood we took it to the dealer and they said they didn't know what was wrong with it so they had to change out the motor. That was the stupidest car we've ever financed

[@thomasdavey1513]

Rear lights look like they're from a Duster 😂

[@arturoerodriguez]

Always thought it was cute. Looking for one to play with..like exactly the same colors you have. Didn't these come with removable tops the first years?

[@LeskyKusanagi]

It's regrettable to know that this car is very famous and widely bought here in Brazil and still for an absurd price...

[@impactoman]

Bruce Wayne drove one of these in the movie. Show the batmobile some respect. XD

[@traviskingston4743]

As many problems as they have, they really are fun little rigs. I’ve owned mine since 2018 and slowly built it into a trail rig with a winch, steel bumper and a quick disconnect front sway bar. They’re not really built to be modified but the places it’s been able to go have genuinely shocked me, and overall it’s held up surprisingly well after a lot of intense off roading. It’s also small and nimble enough to fit down ATV trails. I love the 1960s Italian bread van crossed with Jeep shape of it and all the silly Easter eggs. They’re a lot of fun, albeit a bit demanding.

At the very first appearance of him, he walked like a zombie, watch it again 😂

I can’t stand people saying “uhhh… that’s a Fiat” Every modern car is based off a modular platform, which isn’t proprietary to one brand. In particular, the Renegade was designed and developed by FCA US on a “Small US Wide 4x4” platform, last iteration of the FGA Small developed by Fiat Group in collaboration with Opel No need to shame one brand or another. Audi does it, Porsche does it, BMW does it, Mercedes does it It’s worth saying that Fiat itself pioneered the concept of modular platform with the original Tipo

My used 2015 renegade had 3 major problems within my 1 year of owning it. 2 clutches and a shift linkage and yes I knew how to drive a manual properly. My wife’s 2018 has been good except for burning a shitload of oil which is a known issue. I had the 1.4T and hers is the 2.4. I loved the look of it and the interior I just couldn’t be left stranded on the side of the road for a 3rd time. I bought it at 62,000 miles and traded it at 78,000.

[@garrettbentz9525]

This car doesn’t have the best powertrain, smoothest transmission, best put-together interior, best predicted reliability, or best driving dynamics, but it has character which isn’t something you can say about most crossovers on the road. It can also outperform most Subarus in light off roading duties. It’s also an excellent vehicle for someone who is over 6-feet tall. I’ve owned my 2021 Trailhawk for about a year now and couldn’t be happier.

[@lahaluke]

It was the best rental car in every lot… 4x4, easy to park, and could fit luggage

[@diavoloucraino]

Let's combine American build quality with Italian reliability! What could possibly go wrong?!

[@isaac198428]

*The Nissan Cube of ‘Jeeps’. Congrats Stellantis* … For doing what the Pontiac Aztek couldn’t manage to do.

[@richard1493]

The Renegade is an American car that’s perfect for the foreign market, not for the domestic market. Loathed in the states and loved overseas.

[@jefferybohlscheid1916]

Fiat is a very large and dependable manufacturer.

[@ToroMateo]

Unpopular opinion but Fiats have always been awesome. I've never driven a car as fun as the 500 Abarth

[@Loyard777]

Dude you give me Doug Demuro vibes lol

[@iancouper3644]

One of the most unreliable cars on the market. Well done.

[@don2deliver]

I drive one, it is great in urban driving. Never gets hurt jumping an unseen curb. The rear hatch area is wide enough for large objects. Had to have the A/C compressor and a radiator replaced under warranty. And I replaced the low speed radiator fan resistor for less than the warranty deductable. This one has the Chrysler 2.4 that has been refined over the years. I would avoid the Fiat turbo engine. It gets only 26.5 mpg which is common for any awd. However it isn't as hard on tires as many awd vehicles tend to be.

[@Lucy-LosAngeles]

The legend himself drove it in the beginning of Batman vs Superman, if I correctly remember.

[@Chubbydippin]

Pointing out the badging and red coloring around the speaker is a great indicator of what us American consumers are so foolishly concerned and obsessed with in vehicles. Who cares about the engine and how long it will last. Who cares about the transmission and how long it will last. As long as we have badging, easter eggs, banana car play, 72 USB ports and a touch screen tablet mounted on the dash we'll buy it. What we buy in this country plays a big part in the garbage that continues to be built for us.

[@TyagiAutomotive]

You need to take Mahindra Thar 4x4 which is around 20,000 USD and it’s super off roader in this price range.

[@s3renity274]

It looks cool, but mechanically it’s garbage.

[@MaximoPvP]

this car is so popular in brazil it’s crazyyy you actually see it everywhere you go, from 2015 to today models 😭😭

[@RoastFlea61]

My mom would be keeping her leased renegade if it hadn’t already spent 7 months out of a 3 year lease at the dealer for electrical issues. Speaker issues, park sensor issues, needed a body harness swap for some reason, Electric sunroof issues, blind post monitor alert issues, window switches not working. Oh and sometimes it just doesn’t recognize the car keys. Steaming POS we will never consider another one. I know some people have had great luck, but the thing has had so many issues and we’ve only put 12k miles on it.

[@mjflit]

Reviewers complain about cheap interiors then complain they cant understand why people aren't buying the $60k crossover they thought was best when they were paid to drive it... These and the Patriots got a lot of crap for being cheap inside but not a single person who ever bought or owned one EVER complained about the cheap interior as their biggest gripe. Usually it was CVT failure.

[@everaldogualberto8733]

Here in Brazil it is called the Jeep Renegade, models older than 2022 used the 1.3 turbo engine equipped in some versions of the Fiat Toro and the Jeep Compass, they had expensive chronic defects, nowadays for these 3 cars the defect has been corrected..the price is not! 1 dollar=Around R$5 (Reais) 🔛🔝Version)Fiat Toro 1.3 turbo 2019:around R$101.000 🔛🔝Version)Jeep Compass 1.3 turbo 2019: around R$110.000 🔛🔝Version)Jeep Renegade 1.3 turbo 2019: R$95.000 2024 0KM updates Brazil Fiat toro(🔛🔝 version): R$175.000 Jeep compass(🔛🔝 Version): R$275.00p Jeep Renegade(🔛🔝 Version): R$165.000

[@kumudukulasekara6684]

Appropriate to associate McDonald's with a 4wd.

[@yungprototype]

“It looks great” ? That’s subjective

[@mf9780]

I had one. Finally traded for a Camry. Plastic, underpowered, and somewhat ugly. It never gave me issues, and it was a decent little 4x4.

[@tfatalt176]

I absolutely loved mine. Had one identical to that. Took it through parts of the Mojave desert on regular highway tires, I drove right around suburbans, f-150s and broncos that were stuck. And because it's so small it would be futile to try and help them so I just kept riding

[@bigamigo4863]

My buddy's wife has one of these and to be honest.....its pretty capable offroad. Just don't tell her...they love this thing 5 years and going

[@KidJaeProductions]

It’s a crime to like this “Jeep” and I’m definitely breaking the law. Idk why I like it, but for some reason I do.
