During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of RUclips!
I'm not sure why so many people don't like this car, I think it's really cool! I love all the little easter eggs and throwbacks. Great video as always Kyle, the comparison with the Kia Soul was great too! I think I'd pick the Jeep for the retro aspects. It's clear that Jeep has a hit on their hands, I hear these are really flying off dealer lots. Keep up the great work!

subaruwrxfan HAAIIIIIII MATT!!!!!!!!!!
subaruwrxfan I'm writing a test-drive review on it and honestly it's by far the best and most special Jeep. it's meant for more of an urban demographic. I drove around in it and it's great, don't get why everyone is hating it.
💯✊
Ikr i love its design i hated it at first but then i noticed it was unique and fits my personality..... look at bright side, atleast it wont get stolen 😊
I love how everyone jumps on the "But it's not a real Jeep, no metal bumpers, it's shit, rather keep my old POS Jeep." Bandwagon... Lol you guys are funny and never want to accept change.
Bryan Bello it a Fiat. They own Jeep 100%
I just spent 5 days in one of these in Death Valley. Driving on the highway to the park revealed a tall vehicle with a relativity narrow track that didn't encourage anything over moderate corning speeds. The 2.4 engine seemed to designed with NVH (noise,vibration & harshness) to encourage people to opt for the V-6 on Jeep's larger offerings. The seats are not comfortable on a long trip and NEED a lumbar adjustment like the Latitude model has. The automatic transmission occasionally left us flat footed for long moments after pressing on the gas pedal. However, on the Jeep trails and dirt roads the little guy earned it's nick name: MIGHTY MOUSE! Its off-road capabilities at a low price are the reasons to purchase one of these. Rather then compare it to a Kia, think of it as a cheaper and more comfortable alternative to a Wrangler for moderate trails.
for the people needing a fun, cool, and small 4x4 car, i love it
No matter what people say I will always love these little jeeps
Wow, didn't expect so much hate for this thing. I like its quirkiness.
Definitely would pick the Renegade over the Soul
iea96 Then You Have Problems
The Flags that Flew too bad it breaks 🤣
The Flags that Flew I mean I don’t mind buying one, if it had a good engine and transmission or had any good wiring
Same
I got this same jeep
I know some people don't like this car... but I actually really like it!
Hello, we have had our Trail Hawk for a couple of weeks and couldn't be more happy. Very nice ride with a firmness thats not harsh yet very capable off road. Gets more fun as the trans seems to learn your style of driving, yet gives decent MPG. Lots of headroom and comfortable inside. We have the keyless entry and remote start with blind spot indication very nice to have. My wife loves the heated seats and steering wheel too. Also have the premium interior with a 40-20-40 rear seat fold down, which when the center folded down gives the rear passengers a arm rest along with big cup holders. We got the NAV 6.5, 9 speaker sub woofer and when paired with the I6 phone its nice to be able to talk hands free. Its not a Rubicon or a Caddy, but it do'es everything well with no complaints for a lot less money.
Hi, do you still have this vehicle? Do you still love it, how’s it holding up? Thinking about purchasing one.
@@sabrinacollins4329 Hello yes still have her and i enjoy it. she has around 75,000 no major repairs. routine maintenance and change oil a lot. We also bought another new Trail Hawk with the same equipment, so I get to daily drive the old one and she drives the new one. I definitely like the cold weather package with remote start heated seats and steering wheel. To be honest we have snow here but I've never used the 4 wheel drive yet, only to see what it can do. It's the best winter car we have ever had.
@@normsf thank you so much for your response. I appreciate you taking time out to respond. Have a good day moving forward.
Glad to hear it's still holding up for you, I plan on getting a used 2015 renegade trailhawk
@@chazzicili3244 Yep both of them are still going and looking good.
Wtf you guys are on crack?! This thing is fucking awesome! If I were in the market for a small SUV I would definitely take this, looks better than the compass and the patriot
For the price and its competition, it's the coolest car you can get.
People need to except the fact that Jeep is going in an all new direction and wants to be different. Everyone hated the new Cherokee when it came out and now everyone has accepted it and I think it will be the same with this car. And I bet that the new Wrangler is going to look something like this so everyone better get used to it.
Brandon Wiley Agreed, I think a lot of people are just to attached to the past designs of Jeep over the years.
Brandon Wiley Are you Jeep's new spokesperson?
Brandon Wiley I still feel salty over the new Cherokee. The old design was just... better. And if you take a look at Land Rover and The Mercedes G-wagen, big and boxy is still most definitely in-style. By the number of Cherokees still on the road(probably the most numerous SUV from the 90s), Jeep should take a hint and realize that the new Cherokee could do well with a facelift.
Brandon Wiley ,
...im used to seeing way more 04 body styled grand Cherokees than 05's - 15's (fact)
~ i love my jeep
iamjedi06 that's because most people can't afford new cars
I honestly don't understand why people hate it so much, its a cute car. I can't drive yet but I sure wish I could. I would hands down buy this car.
I think it is a great looking car, very different from any other cars out there- but still you can tell right away that it is a Jeep. I hope it will be well priced in Australia.
I'm sure majority of people who have an interest in cars find that many of Jeep's vehicles are not the most attractive including this one, yet I like this one for some strange reason
Mikhail Pugliano jeeps aren't supposed to be the best looking...they are supposed to be rugged and strong looking
I really like the idea that Jeep was going for, an affordable but capable Jeep to give you a classic Jeep experience without paying a lot. But I don't feel like they designed it well. Maybe they'll do better with Gen 2 Renegade.
Looks like the love child of the Nissan Juke and Cube
It looks like a crocodile
Austinrocks1100 the green paint and the grille 😂
I agree with Austin
This color is gorgeous, my dealer has an orange one that someone customized with KC fog lights it’s so cool looking
I test drove this a few days ago and this car is surprisingly an amazing car. Im 6'4" and I have at least 5" of clearance in the lowest seat setting with lots of leg room. My fiance is going to buy this and we can get a latitude model for $14-15,000 MSRP. My brother owns a kia soul and hands down the renegade is better because the soul is bland and very boring
To dispel some myths: the car is built by fiat but has the same sturdy feel you would expect in a jeep. It is more jeep than fiat in every respect. The exterior looks silly but it grows on you, I promise. The Dawn of Justice edition is a blacked out limited. Waste of money, buy the limited in black instead.
Dammit Kyle! I had one of these lined up for my channel next week but now there's no point, your review is better lol
Even if it isn't the best looking, high quality car, all of those little heritage touches are awesome. Shows they really actually care about their cars.
All y'all on here complaining about the car most likely don't even have a car so shut up 🤐
I thought this was hideous in the thumbnail but I'm glad I watched this. I LOVE all the throwbacks and Easter eggs. I got over the cars looks and it just looks like another jeep to me now. Also the Bigfoot walking up the rear window is cool even tho It isn't really a throwback more of a nice touch like the mud on redline
The Trailhawk package gives it a more sporty look. I can't wait to film one!
They seem pretty nice.
This is probably the most interesting car from Jeep right now. The quirky looks and the fact that it pretty capable off road makes it one of the best compact suv in my opinion.
Like the comparison with KIA Soul, you should do more of that Kyle. And speaking about compact suv, could you review the new Honda HRV and Mazda CX3?
I'd like it up against the Toyota FJ Cruiser because that's about the level of quirk they tried to bring into this design.
I'm seriously thinking about getting one!
This Jeep has grown on me
I have seen this review 5 years ago still in watching it today, both the reviewer & Renegade are awesome.
Great review! I totally agree that the Kia Soul is similar to the Renegade. I had a car accident in my Kia Soul a little over a month ago and the car was total loss. A bull moose ran in front of my Kia Soul and literally threw my car right off the road out in the woods. I realized then I needed something a little more heavier and something with 4 wheel drive but I still wanted the hip Kia Soul look. There was no Trailhawk editions in Newfoundland so I'm having one shipped to me from Ontario and needless to say, my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk can't come soon enough! So excited! Everyone has their own opinion on vehicles but anyone like myself that loves hip boxy little SUVs, the renegade is probably your best bet as far as safety and performance goes! Love love love 💕
I love Jeep and I like how they took a turn with this design. Great review BTW!
I test drove this. It is a fun car. It's strictly a suburban driving car no need to get a 4x4 front wheel drive is all you need. Its build for someone of average to below average size. The styling is cool
I actually like the quirky design and I'm pretty conservative regarding car styling. The color's pretty ugly, though...
***** Yeah, if I were to get a CUV, were to get one, I'd get this. In a different color, the Trailhawk is relatively cheap, under $26,000, even less when you hassle, and is fully equipped. It seems like while, aesthetically and visually looks different, it still has a JEEP heart underneath, so yeah, I actually do like it!
+Mihaly Lukacs suv?!
Great review and i really like the Renegade!
You are either going to love this car or hate it. I happen to love it.
Hi, do you still have this vehicle? Do you still love it? Any problems? I’m thinking about purchasing one.
Nice thorough revire. Love the great amount of detail about the brakes and struts
I actually really like the design. The interior is really detailed too. 👍🏽
I don't know why everyone is hating the design. I think it's something new and fresh. It's a step away from the conformity that all manufacturers seem to be sticking to lately.
Best in depth review I've seen of the Renegade. Good job.
I think it looks kind of cool. I prefer the Trailhawk trim but it's a bit pricier than I'd like.
I'm young and I do a lot of traveling and need something to tow behind a large motor home. I have an old Geo Tracker that's served us well, but I'm looking for something a little more comfortable, but still capable. We don't do a lot of off roading, but I certainly want to be able to get out of trouble if I find myself in it. I also have a Grand Cherokee that we leave at home, and I've kind of felt like I wanted a mix of the two cars, and this seems to be pretty close. So far, it seems perfect for what I'm looking for.
Honestly, I don't find it THAT ugly. It's not a beautiful thing but, it's not that bad. Still better than those cube cars, soul, and the Juke... Thought it was pretty cool you showcased all those little "easter eggs" haha! Plus, love that gear shift.
folkelk This is beautifull car!!! Submissive gay!
Another nicely detailed review, as always. Thanks for the comparison to the Kia.
MOAB BRO!!!
YO BRO YOU STOKED FOR MO-AAAAAAB???
RCR?
Joe C what else could that be from lol
***** I'm more excited for track day.
Trap-Set bro
Pretty sure you need a Toyota if you want to hit up MOAB, bro!
I like it. And if things go well my wife will be driving something similar to this next year.
Finally, the Nissan Juke has some competition!
I thought this looked comical at first but it's growing on me, there are only a few colors that look decent on it though
Your super professional reviews with sooooo many information make my head explode
Giovanny Plascencia Watch my car videos? they're simpler but just as fun :)
drove this car. loved it.
Consumer Reports said "Properly equipped, the Renegade is true to the Jeep off-road DNA. Its Trailhawk version (about $30K all told) can tackle some wild country." That is cut and pasted from their review.
"Identical length but not related wheelbase" It's exactly that kind of detail I've come to expect here!
I am amazed at the bad mood of the US public,with respect to this car...I think this: They did not like the car,simple! Buy the competitor model!It is not possible that there are no competing model to him,in the US market...
Filho do Uno. Huehuehue Bom Dia, ótima semana! 😊
Gol Turbo :-) ;-)
Was going to buy this car. I thought it just came out and realized its a 2015. I don't think I've seen anyone driving it! I had a KIA Soul which I loved and only traded it in bc the service department ripped me off. That's another story, so I traded it in for a Fiat 500L, which I love but I wanted something a bit rugged---but not a truck or a SUV.... The renegade looked cool on the website, but after seeing this video I'm not gonna waste any money on this. I'll keep my eyes out for something in the future. Awesome detailed video!
So much character, not my favorite car on the road but it is cool in its own way.
As always this is a great review by Kyle. If FCA were to manufacture it in the US and offered a turbo Diesel engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, I would like to buy one. As it is right now, no deal.
Your Videos are getting better and better.. great job!
Both the Jeep Renegade and the Fiat 500X are both great looking cars. I don’t know whether if I want the Jeep or the Fiat more.
Looks like a lot of fun!
I would love for u to do a updated review of the Kia Soul
I think this is a very cool Jeep!
Reminds me of the Karin BeeJay XL in GTA V^^
***** Look up the Toyota FJ Cruiser. That's what it's based off of
UnleashNinjaGuru You're right, but the front is nearly similar for me.
looks cool
Cool?! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA your kidding right?
Kaiman7705 Yea hes kidding
Funny to see everyone hating.. and then seeing that the Renegade is one of the the main reasons for FCAs economic boost. First try it, then judge it.
The one thing that bothers me about this car is that it's practically a fiat 500x. Fiats are known for their bad quality and the fact that jeep has practically said, "Hey Fiat, build one of your cars, we'll just put the jeep name on it," really worries me. Jeep is known for quality and frankly I'm just not seeing it here. Very simply put, as nice as the car looks, it also looks cheap. Like I feel it would fall apart.
I want to slap your fucking face
+James Ritchie I have driven it and it feels very sturdy and well built.
500x doesnt have 4x4... and its smaller too...
haha love the easter eggs! nice comparaison (future feature on your videos? ;) )
tweack2twek seems that jeep is back to their sources, real off roading vehicle, according to its name "renegade", it's like they want to apologyse to their customer for doing SUV road for too long
tweack2twek If I have comparable vehicles at my disposal :) Thanks!
Holy easter eggs! I'm going to have to give my 2015 Cherokee another look-over. For how many eggs are on the Renegade, I'm sure I'm missing some on mine.
As long as it's capable, it's still a good vehicle. I'd love to see how off road capable it is.
People complain disliking this vehicle in my opinion it's different and new and also a different version of jeep maybe what you people like other people may say the same thing you say about this keep an open mind and respect people's opinions and creations 👍
I sat in one of these at the Autoshow in Toronto a few months back. Loved it. The Interior, the design, the seating position (i'm approx 6'4). Back seat was a little "meh," but good. I'd buy one. Oh, and great video as always.
actually i am a very big fan of jeep
Here in Brasil, the Trailhawk model is only diesel with the 9-speed automatic
Are u crazy? There in Brazil are offered 3 versions of renegade - Longitude, Sport and Trailhawk- and for witch one of Them you can choose wether diesel or gasoline. Read more about it, ok?
Joao Pedro Veloso Are you crazy? How about actually read what he said. If you had, you'd see he said "The trail hawk model" is only available with the diesel engine. Not the whole lineup
Joao Pedro Veloso learn to read lol
Joao Pedro Veloso Your are so stupid... hahaha what a shame.. Learn to read, ok?
what an education you had Rodrigo RC i read it wrong and i recognize my mistake; you should be ashamed of yourself for making public trash talking.
What! I think this car looks super cute. I'd drive it everywhere
Those little easter eggs are awesome.
Your reviews are among the best of all of RUclips, If I need to know something about a car I know who to ask! -Joe R
I love this review. This is what got me into the renegade! Great job as always Kyle!
Cute little Jeep. I'm not too keen on that color though, I think it would look nice in black or white.
I really like this car.. I don't really like American designs but I like it!
Honestly I like the idea of the renegade, I don't like however how the car is set up, to me it should either have a diesel or a v6 that isn't based off a fwd car. To me its more like half assing a monument
Great car, especially in that color
the renegade is the only one in the new jeep models line-up (aside from the wrangler) that still looks like jeep! The rest look like all the other cars/"suv" out there! Having said that I wish the renegade was a little bigger!
This is a great jeep to be sold in europe and to people who don't want to offroad 24/7... i own a jeep wrangler i don't see anything wrong with jeep entering other markets... This car is very affordable has a great interior and looks good from the outside.. Jeep won't survive if it's only revenue is from wrangler...
THANK YOU KYLE I WAS ABOUT TO EMAIL YOU TO REVIEW ONE AND YOU BEAT ME TO IT.... THANKS! :)
definitely staring to see the FIAT influence ... especially in the interior.
Did any1 else watch this review while singing the song from the commercial? "Livin life a renegade" 😂😂😂
I love it, I couldn't give up my landboat 300c but damn I want that tiny jeep haha
Very good, thorough review. Thanks.
Kind of weird how they decided for the My Sky panel to be opaque instead of transparent. I wouldn't be surprised to see transparent aftermarket panels.
Finally someone puts the sequential shifting in the proper direction (pulling down to upshift) and it has to be in a jeep. Lol
My concern would be the long term reliability of this Jeep. I am not all thatsold on the 9 speed automatic either.
I would be interested in the Renegade Trailhawk if it offered the 3.2L V6 in the Cherokee or the 3.6L V6 from the Wrangler
Pls show a Chevrolet Epica, Chevrolet HHR, Saab 9-3 Sedan (2003-2011), Dodge Nitro, Cadillac Catera/Opel Omega, Cadillac BLS (if Possible)
If you compare US-spec and Euro-spec models, you will see that the US one only carries reflectors where the Euro one has backup light and rear fog light (in the rear bumper), while the Euro-turn signals in the Xs serve as back up lights in the States, with the brake lights also serving as turn signals. Why go through so much trouble, why not just replace the rear fog light with a backup light für US versions?
dont know why but it looks awesome
It resembles the Honda Element. The outside, at least.
I personally like it, sometimes you have to go far to go big, I like it because I'm all out to hiking places, over sand , mud and rocks, one day I will have kids and this is one of the only vehicle that gives you a mommy car plus towing and a 4x4. I have goats and need something to pull them. you can think all you won't about how bad the motor is but it mainly on you is driving. yes there will be bad motors and there will be a lot more good ones. don't hate it because you don't like change, its 2016. everything is changing.
Wow, i love this review, i have the 2014 dodge dart, and i love it, but i think i want this as my next car, living in idaho it would help in the snow. But i think after watching this you have convinced me to get this as my next vehicle :)
I love the brake light design
Exterior design: 7.0 out of 10
Interior design: 8.5 out of 10
Overall this car looks alright to me but Great depth review *****
That is a very, very nice ride indeed.
Guys, this car is set to sell in over 100 countries. It's not necessarily wise to "Americanize" the styling too much.
Does jeep compete with the g-class in terms of off-road performance or not? Or is the g- class the ultimate off-road vehicle in the world
