2020 Jeep Renegade | Family Review

Buy a Jeep Renegade

Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 2020 Jeep Renegade is one of them. The 2020 Renegade a subcompact 5-passenger SUV. In this review, we examine the 2020 Renegade’s positives and negatives as a family SUV.

Here’s our test car’s information explosion:

During our review of this 2020 Jeep Renegade we examined a range of practical details; passenger space, cargo space, infotainment, handling, steering, engine and transmission performance, overall refinement, and price. We also explored the 2020 Renegade’s seat comfort, how easy it is to install a child seat, and how easy it is for our daughter to climb aboard. How did it go? Watch and see. #MicahDrives

This is the best thing I found during quarantine

This is by far the best car review channel right now. You get the info while not having to suffer thru people trying to be (insert whatever adjective here). They’re/y’all are real and genuine, and it’s greatly appreciated. It’s nice to have real world/family observations.

As a Renegade Trailhawk owner of 2 years, I think you did a great review and you hit the nail on the head on one thing.... the transmission is ABYSMAL. It does crazy shifts all over the place, and at times hesitates so bad that it's dangerous. As a 9 speed you'd think it gets better gas mileage, but mine gets no where near the EPA estimates (other owners report wildly different mpg results). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Rene, but I also did my research before buying and knew what I was getting into. Also, sticker price on a Renegade is irrelevant... the MSRP is priced to be discounted. Sticker for my Trailhawk was $33.5 I left the dealership paying $24.6. Thanks for another fun review from you, the Mrs and the little one!

Where was the Innuendo Iguana when Evie said "I'd pay $200 for some fun!" when referring to the additional cost paint options. 🤣🤣

I just purchased a Renegade of my own back in mid June and I absolutely love it! The base package for the Sport trim is the most affordable with the 4X4, $24K. Not a lot of extra bells and whistles but totally okay without them.

You’re family is so cute. Like watching you’re channel. Like you on KBB

[Jacobk]

Most under appreciated channel on YouTube! 😂

[utoobia]

Expensive at that price. Cars this size should be under $20k. Your videos though, priceless, both here and on KBB.

just picked one out today- traded in my 2014 Jeep Sport Wrangler unlimited for it. I ended up with a new car and the dealer cutting me a check.. now- one could say a lot about that.. but I do really like this smaller car. and with my kids in driving age.. this is better for them. it was a Manual Trans.. so that is no longer an issue for the kids.. I do find the trans on the Renegade a bit spotty.. but I will get used to the time difference and adjust. after watching this I do wish I went with the 4WD but got the 2 cause really that is all I do... better MPG... thanks guys great vid - fun.. well done. keep it up I am sure you will.

This is the most entertaining car review I've ever seen. Now Im off to watch more of your videos!

Is five inches...?
Hahaha, y'all hilarious af.
Top-notch review as usual Micah. We appreciate the Good work.

My family solved the transmission problem when we bought our Renegade by purchasing a lightly used one with a smooth shifting 6-Speed manual transmission since the new ones no longer offer a manual. We love our 4wd manual combined with 1.4L Turbo motor, fun to drive, great gas mileage and if it shifts poorly we can only blame our skills :)

Also Pro Tip: Maximum Fun is using Sand Mode on slick snowy roads (of course ensuring it's somewhere safe to play). The throttle response is way different in Sand Mode and ESP is off. Good Times

Evie is so cute with her "Organic Bulge." Lil Muzio is going to get her own channel #Fromthebackseat. Always a fan of the family reviews!

☺️Good thing you where in a Jeep on this vlog, cause between the infotainment inches discussion and the singing this one headed off the road ...🤣🤣🤣

When I was test driving the jeep renegade I noticed a nice detail for families you missed. The front passenger seat actually flips up to reveal a big cubby space that would allow you to place your purse in, or your diaper bag. I believe most women would be extremely excited with this feature.

Also, while I was test-driving it I did notice that, if you turn very quickly from side to side, you can feel a slight oversteer. You do not have to go very fast to feel it and I am not sure if it was just my test driving vehicle, but I thought it was very weird. If I were a professional car reviewer, I would investigate that further.

I have a Renegade Night Eagle 2020 here in UK and happy with it. By our standards, it a fairly big chunky car and does everything we want it to. Bit fed up of critics online slating it, as it's Italian made and "not a real Jeep"...

[cuppysekrettv]

my dream car since half year, cant wait to buy it :)

[danielc]

There are certain car companies that can’t just do a normal powertrain. Why?? Just do a regular 4-banger and a 6-speed auto and call it a day if this is so difficult for you!

[ForkNLeans]

Just bought a 2019 trailhawk even has removable roof panels and turbo im so excited 😅
