After owning many cars over the years ( almost every type you can imagine: Porsche, Alfa 156gta, Bmw 7 series, Mercedes Glk, 2× Jeeps GC, even a Navigator) I aproach my 40's and wanted a new and practical car for me and my family under 30k € because in 2019 I just can't justify paying more for a decent car. The Renegade was at first very distant on my list, but as soon as I saw the facelift it became an viable option. After drivetesting various cars at dealers to compare things ( the new Renegade was the last drivetest) it instantly became apparent the Renegade was the best option, altough I was very skeptical about it. What is shocking is the solidness and quietness of this facelifted model, I honestly did not expected to drive this good. So I made my mind on the spot and bought the Limited 2wd with the 1.3 liter Turbo 150ps automatic. After 1 month of ownership and 2000kms I am absolutelly sure I bought the right car because:
1. It is very light (1300kg) and nimble for such a car, it almost feels as a hatchback. The steering is precise and fast enough
2. The chassis is very well built, very solid and stiff ( I couldn t hear a single creack or rattle, and I am paranoid about this) but the suspension is very well tuned- very compliant and not too rigid. I found it to be very comfortable on longer trips. Braking power is almost as good as my Alfa Gta!( no joke)
3. The visibility is absolutelly outstanding for ANY modern car ( only my Fiat 500 is better at this)
4. The sound insulation and quietness at high speed is unbelievable for such a boxy car, very quiet overall. Interestingly enough the CX of this car is 0.34 which is better than many sedans!
5. The 3cyl engine is actually good but the 4cyl 1.3 liter turbo is a peach. It is very refined, it pulls very good from just 1800rpm even in 6th gear. I am not a fan of engine downsizing but this little 1.3cc turbo works brilliantly in every situation and it is not overworked. It pulls almost like a diesel under 2200rpm but revs happily to 6000rpm with no dip in power curve. Very brilliant engine!
6. The dual clutch TCT gearbox works very good actually, I don t understand why all the testers moaned about it, it is a little slower than a PDK but is very well suited for the car: it is smooth and the start stop function is seamless.
7. Consumption: my average is 8 liters/100km mainly in town. First 300kms I got 10, 5l/100km average but it slowly improved day by day.
8. Practicality is very good
9. To sum up: The petrol Renegade was really a revelation for us : it looks almost like a character rather than a car, it is nimble and puts a smile on your face. Even my wife that considered the Renegade ugly and ridiculous now begs me to drive the car from time to time.

I owned a 2016 renegade latitude and loved it. just totaled it last week after someone ran a red light and hit me, but i’m getting the 2019 renegade to replace it. i just loved the car so much and couldn’t bear to part with it.
I will say this car kept me really safe in my accident. the car who ran the red turned in front of me and i hit them head-on going 45mph and escaped with just a few bruises and some sore muscles.

I bought a 2016 2WD model in the US based largely on the strength of your review of the 2015. I've been very pleased, particularly as at the time it was the lowest-cost vehicle I could find with active safety features like automatic braking and blind spot monitoring. Love love love your in-depth reviews, thanks Thomas!

Your german accent already gives you so much more credibility.

[gienol]

Thank you for the test. Great as always. Worth mentioning is that a great part of door sides are lined with soft material so hand is never in contact with hard plastic ( unless you drive with ‘cold elbow” :))

[johncollymore]

Great Review. Liked the panic handle description at 7:37. As always, your driving part and commentary Thomas, is excellent. And yes, feel we're with you on the drive, getting a very good impression of the car on the road. 18:52 agree, some customers, even rich ones, don't want to spend much money on a car. "Live on tape!", but too eager an alarm? I don't like frightening my passengers (or myself). Many thanks Thomas.

Baby Jeep, I have seen it in person looks quite good 🤔

[yanni]

If I was 25 it would probably be my 1st choice of vehicle (the 4×4 version).

Watching this review it cames to my mind that most car's channels prefer to show super cars: that's the easiest way to get lot of views and likes. You instead prefers to review a lot of different cars, even the affordable ones. For this reason your channel should be listed under "public service" section! 😃😃😃👍👍👍

I have a 2019 latitude renegade and I love it. I’m pretty much a city driver (with potholes! 😖) so it works very well for me. Have taken road trips with it and it’s comfy enough. Don’t go off-road at all but if I did I would get a trailhawk (or a Jeep Wrangler 4x4 all together). It’s a great looking subcompact SUV 👌🏻

My favorite presenter nice work Thomas

[gtjorge]

Another great review!!! Thanks Thomas...

[furiousgeorge]

Looks good. I'd never buy anything American made but it is one of the better looking small suvs out there....it has character

[Effonefiddygarage]

@Autogefühl You hit it on the head. Renegade isn't for wheeling Mont Blanc, but rather weekend camping and dirt road excursions.

[Da_StormtroopeR]

Really a nice color, I would prefer a automatic version with 4wd, from the aftersales market.😉

[jamesie-sfcq]

Great work as always. Glad you feel the vibes!

[younesten]

This is the best car in the world 🙌👍👏❤

[michelebicc]

Hi Thomas! Good review as always. I think that you can set "rear view camera delay" from the car options in the screen. In other FCA products you can do this.

Looking forward to the Autogefuel version!

[lukasschreiner]

Very good commentary, your reviews are very entertaining and informative.
