However, it's different in other ways, too, but these are mostly bad. It's rugged and has the off-roading chops to back up its appearance. Huh? Even the highly off-road-capable Trackhawk model maxes out at only $36,195.The Renegade doesn't look like it belongs among its competitors, which helps it stand out. We discovered a fully loaded Renegade High Altitude, which is the most expensive trim level, costs $36,410, while a fully loaded version of our tester’s less expensive Limited trim comes to $37,050. Jeep’s pricing structure for the Renegade is out of whack, though. Its as-tested price is remarkable considering there are two more trim levels above the Limited – the Trailhawk and the High Altitude – with even higher starting prices. That sum also includes a remarkably high $1,495 destination charge for such a small vehicle. Our tester went for $34,860 out the door. While the Renegade’s base price is a seemingly reasonable $22,275 for a front-wheel-drive Sport model, our Limited tester has a starting price of $26,645, which increases to $28,145 with all-wheel drive. Lastly, the Renegade can be used as a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot with the purchase of a cellular data plan.įCA has baked a premium into the Renegade’s price for being a Jeep, which it hopes people are willing to pay to live the brand’s lifestyle. The Limited trim also comes standard with heated seats and a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic temperature control, a 115-volt outlet, and Jeep’s aforementioned Selec-Terrain traction control system. Our tester also features an upgraded Beats audio system that sports nine speakers, a 12-channel amplifier, and separate subwoofer for an extra $695.

On the Limited model, a companion 7.0-inch information display between the analogue gauges also comes standard.Īs good as its factory infotainment system is, the Renegade also comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (wired, though not wireless). There’s nothing special about UConnect, really it combines a big screen (8.4 inches) with good graphics, an easy-to-navigate menu structure, and lightning-quick speed. That said, we like the Renegade’s innovative three-way rear cargo floor that can be configured high, low, or at a rearward angle.įCA vehicles generally score well in this category thanks to the automaker’s popular UConnect infotainment system, which this Renegade has as part of a $1,245 option package. Also, the Renegade’s rear seats don’t fold flat, but instead create an inconvenient rearward grade when folded forward. That max is well below some of the segment’s best, including the Kia Soul at 62.1 cubes and Honda HR-V at 55.9 cubic feet. The Renegade can hold 18.5 cubic feet of cargo with its rear seats upright and a maximum of 50.8 cubic feet when folded.
One would think such a utilitarian exterior would create an expansive cargo hold, but the opposite is true.
The upright and afar greenhouse lends an airy quality to the Renegade’s cabin that’s particularly welcome in these times when the square footage of glass in passenger vehicles seems to be shrinking.

The Renegade’s particularly lacking in this metric, ranking among the worst in the segment.īecause of the Renegade’s boxy design, its windows are far away from your head and shoulders when seated inside. Rear seat passengers enjoy the same headroom and upright position, but lack the generous legroom. The upright seating position itself makes longer hauls more comfortable, while the seats do a fair job with both cushioning and support. Here you have the most room for your legs and head, and the extra high roof allows for tall seats with high seat cushions. The best place to sit in the Renegade is up front.
