Top 10 Things To Know About The Jeep Renegade

Показать описание

There is a new Jeep on South African market and at first glance, it looks particularly interesting. It’s noticeably smaller than any other Jeep, and noticeably “cuter” – especially given the colour palette available, which seems to have been borrowed from the company that makes Skittles.

In this video, we’ve picked ten of things about the new Jeep Renegade that you need to know about, covering the engine, interior, build quality and a few little surprises that Jeep have built into the car as standard.
We’ll be using this space to go into detailed comparisons with this car’s rivals.

With the range starting at R340 990, the car is priced quite priced above a few of its key rivals, even overlapping bigger cars in the next segment, such as the Toyota Rav4, which starts at R311 000.

The car featured in the video is the 1.4 T Limited Launch Edition, which at the time of writing, features SatNav, leather upholstery and those rather nice 18 inch wheels included as freebies in the price of R375 990. We’ll use this car for comparisons below.

We’ve chosen the Mini Countryman and Subaru XV, as both cars are roughly equally sized and offer that rugged, I-might-actually-go-offroad feeling.

I have one and I love it. Good gas mileage and very comfortable. I've had mine for 3 years with no problems. The only thing I had to do on it was maintenance and the radiator fan but for owning it for three years can't complain. Never had an issue with it. Love it. Not bad for an affordable jeep. As long as you keep up with the services and take care of it. Love it. I'm surprised for such a small suv the room it has.

I just purchased a Renegade (2017) about a month ago. I was really ready not to like it as my husband picked it out - I have a back injury which can at times keep me on my back to relieve pressure. I wanted a Trailhawk with the sjid plates and everything needed to get out of Dodge if TSHTF (emergency). I wanted the V-8, the whole deal. I have to admit, my little 'rollerskate" Renegade does the job for now. I can drive for an hour or more and actually be able to get out of the car without streaming tears of pain. There were times in my Mazda when I literally could not get out for at least 15 mins. This car is soooo quiet that I once went into 7-11 and unknowingly left it running!!! Locked, thankfully. Right now, I love it. Wish there were more power getting onto highways, more storage space in back, but really, after 4 weeks, I love this car!

Perfect for someone my age. One of my friends recently went and got one. She did get the limited and I can't afford that, but I am gonna get a jeep renegade. I think it's perfect for people who want a smaller type of SUV but not too big of an SUV. I love the interior too.

The Renegade is starting to grow on me. I like the idea of a fun car for the wife to take to work and leave the full size suv home. The turbo should add a little oomph. Wish it had a little higher tow rating, 2500lbs would be perfect.

I love my Renegade and the challenge of finding the Easter Eggs

We have a 2015 Latitude with the 2.4 Multiair. They hit the nail on the head design wise (for those who have never owned one before but the decals are a bit much) and it has more room in the passenger compartment than you think. I'm 6'3" and 230lbs., room enough for me. It is overplumbed mechanic and electric wise. A simple check engine light can keep you from using the 4wd traction select feature and its bevy of electronics will run down a battery quicker than you think. We have not had some of the problems others have reported but the lack of a spare tire is sad. I've had Jeeps before (two Wagoneers, one Cherokee Chief and one J10 Gladiator) and even though this is new its more of a Jiip than a Jeep. With the 9 speed automatic you would think it could do better miles per gallon wise. Overall though the impression is favorable. A lot of similarities with the Fiat 500X.

I own one and here is my top 10 for a 2017 1=under powered 2=expensive oil/changes 3= front suspension cheaply done 4= engine very noisy 4= great driver 5= great visibility 6= small gas tank 7=tire size are affordable 8= good mileage on flat roads terrible on hills 9=great night lights 10= very small but roomy and stiff ride on 4wd models

I got mine the other day and I love it

Don't forget to mention that they do NOT include a spare tire, however, you do get a defective "inflator" kit that does not work. So, Jeep will leave you stranded to save themselves a couple of bucks by not including a spare tire and not mentioning that during the sale.
