The 2018 Jeep Renegade is a True Jeep

It may be the smallest Jeep, but the Renegade is a Jeep through and through. This model is a 4x4 Upland Sport, and with it comes an advanced 4WD system featuring selectable terrain modes for the snow, sand, and mud. It features convenience options like completely keyless 'comfort access' entry, a well finished interior, and pugnacious good looks all for just $26,000 as equipped. That's a lot of car for the money, especially considering the off-road chops it has compared to mostly front-wheel drive competitors.

I get mine Tuesday I’m so excited

[@gusmac6634]

how did it go? and is it a trailhawk?

[@tomjodis8670]

I purchased a 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk with less than 10,000 miles in mid-June. Just got back from my first extended road trip which included off-roading - I LOVE this car. I felt so comfortable putting almost 2,000 miles in 5 days. Handled off-roads like it was running on smooth asphalt. One drawback - it hates city driving - MPG sucks - but get it out on the highway and I pulled in over 30 MPG. It just loves to run.

[@joycereed4971]

We love our Solar Yellow Sport. Its extremely sure-footed in bad road conditions. Ice, snow, mud, you name it. It’s a freaking mountain goat...it’s going anywhere it wants. And the interior space is AMAZING! Only complaint is difficulty finding a model that has a factory tow hitch. Having one installed after market sucks because it hangs really low below the bumper. Makes hauling our kayak trailer a little tricky.

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Joyce Reed main reason I still don’t have a hitch. Looking into the bumper and hitch for factory for my 1.4t sport 4x4 6 speed

[@joycereed4971]

Eric Bostick since the bumper has to come off anyway to install an aftermarket hitch, might as well replace it. No extra work and the end result is much better.

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Joyce Reed just the added cost of the number kit along with the over double cost for the hitch and wiring

Alotta people in comment section are so mad and broke they can't afford the beast so they make excuses and bash the car lol Same people to question the price...

[@blade913]

Well...to be fair. The loaded out off road model, which is kinda what will make it contend with it's larger opponents, causes the price to jump $30k. And once you hit $30k, you start to look at the Jeep Wrangler, which is a far superior off road vehicle. Unless the argument isn't about 4x4 capability to price ratio, then who the hell cares lol. You buy what you like.

I paid 24k after financing/fees/taxes all of that. Tbh, I almost find it hard to believe you got it that cheap but these deals do happen! They are def sought after. Esp used with those low miles/good conditions. I love mine with all my heart! Had I paid straight cash, chances are it would have been about 19k or so but I had to finance. 3% interest in the loan though!!! Couldn’t be happier. Wonderful vehicle.

I have 105K miles on my 2016. It is very reliable and the 4WD system is unmatched by anything in it's class. Some components and switchgear are obviously built to a price point. Power is adequate, the engine is tuned more toward fuel economy. Overall a solid vehicle I would buy again. Pay no attention to the Fiat horror stories. The Renegade is proven with several years of strong sales and miles logged.
