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:
Information Explosion

9-Speed Automatic Transmission
4-Wheel Drive

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

So, should I sing in all our videos from now on? 😂
Yes! Kelley Blue Book Karaoke!
More X Muzios
Yes. Yes you should. Dude you are a man of many talents. 👍🏾
On the car review itself... yeah Jeeps are unfortunately more expensive for whatever reason. This one is super cute though. I’d get the trail hawk edition though, though I don’t know if I would take anything on the rubicon other than a Wrangler or Gladiator... or something customized to be extremely off-road capable.
You did it!
Next should be you doing Celine Dion driving a Chrysler Pacifica like the commercials back in the mid 2000s! 😂
This is the best thing I found during quarantine
are you still in quarantine? What kind of commie state do you live in?

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!
Well, that was a good deal. Here in Mexico prices are fixed, so there is no bargaining or negotiation. You can only control the time frame in which you choose to pay. I bought a Patriot in 2007 and was relatively affordable.. but nowadays.. I cannot afford even the lowest trim on this one with my income.. my other option being stuck in over 6 years of monthly payments.
9 speed has 2 dog clutches shift points which do wait for sync longer then rest of the gears, so many people don't like the feel of it, i believe the latest models, or the tests of 2021s had reports of improvements
Check and see if your transmission needs a software update my mother's 2017 Chrysler 200S Awd just got one. And I don't like the ZF 9 speed but it's alot better paired to a V6 but it's horrid with a 4 cylinder and I'd rather purchase an FCA product with the ZF 8 speed.
@@La-yt1wr Unfortunately no update :-(. BTW, great avatar pic, ..I loved my SAAB 9-3 convertible.
So, I own Upland 2019. The 9 speed has no issues with the 2.4L. I drive in CO in the mountains and feel its timing for shifts is actually quite impeccable. I have no complaints. I have taken it on some tough trails and it handles great as well. For anyone wanting to off-road, I would be careful of trims other than Sport, Upland or Trailhawk due to the front fascia hanging down on other models. Check models for things needed to off-road such as your skid plates. From what I know, only Upland and TH models come with them, but check first before heading up trails. In all, I have enjoyed it for my family and paid well below MSRP. They are priced to discount later.
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.
We love making videos as a family. Your kind comment is greatly appreciated!
Where was the Innuendo Iguana when Evie said "I'd pay $200 for some fun!" when referring to the additional cost paint options. 🤣🤣
Most under appreciated channel on RUclips! 😂
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.
Me too
@@purpleku7768 hello is it a good car for everyday use in the city and did u have any problems by far ?
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.
Expensive at that price. Cars this size should be under $20k. Your videos though, priceless, both here and on KBB.
Is five inches...?
Hahaha, y'all hilarious af.
Top-notch review as usual Micah. We appreciate the Good work.
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.
You’re family is so cute. Like watching you’re channel. Like you on KBB
☺️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 ...🤣🤣🤣
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
I heard someone else say that manual was best. That's interesting because I already wanted a manual.
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!
Just bought a 2019 trailhawk even has removable roof panels and turbo im so excited 😅
Video uploaded 1 minute ago... and has 1 view, 3 comments, and 5 likes. Guess Micah is just that good!
Matt Dixon I’m trying to make sense of that too. 🤷♂️
my dream car since half year,cant wait to buy it :)
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!
They DID that...with the Tigerhawk.... and it SUCKED bc that Engine BLOWS!
The 9 speed is for those who know how to drive a stick in low traffic.
Wow this was so entertaining I forgot I was watching a car review. And it didn’t seem surface level and unhelpful, thanks Guys.
The extension of the sun visor is to block the sun that comes in the top middle of the windshield, between the sun visor and the rear mirror.
This is the most entertaining car review I've ever seen. Now Im off to watch more of your videos!
My sister owns a Jeep Renegade, only the Sport trim so it’s not super fancy, but despite the issues I see with it... I still want one? They just look super cute and inside is super spacious, at least for my 5’4” ass. Lol
That #StraightPipes shout out was epic!!! Great family review as usual y'all!!!
BTW There is a reason to get the new 1.3 turbo, ask the 2.4 L Renegade Tigershark owners about oil consumption ;)
I’m totally biased as the owner of one, but in this class I definitely like the Kona 1.6T the best! I do like the new LED headlights and tail lights on the Renegade though!
Kona is a very small hatchback. Try towing a trailer loaded with a jet-Ski on a beach, and let us know how good it is.
A couple thoughts from an owner. First, nice review...I would highly recommend the 1.3L Turbo over the 2.4L just for the fact that it doesn't have the oil burn issues, that Some (not all) 2.4L's have. Seems to be a solid engine choice. I have noticed very occasional odd shifts in, but after the transmission learned my driving habits, they smoothed out for the most part.
Updates:
The price on these is 'aspirational' to put it kindly. There are tons of rebates and deals if you time your purchase right. Sticker on my '19 TH was $33,700. Paid $22,700 for it as it was priced on the dealer lot, no haggling needed. (Massive incentives & rebates, coupled with dealer markdowns had it priced at $22,700). At that price (or less) they make more sense. The $1500 destination charge is b/c they're built in Italy and shipped via cargo ship over...
lol at the kid using the lightsaber to poke the sunscreen
I love these video with your family you all really enjoy each other’s company and it shows
Brother, you have an adorable family. Keep this famy vehicle reviews, great market!
In Trailhawk form, these little Renegades are really underrated as an offroaders. They can make it up trails that will hang up and damage a Crosstrek.
Crosstrek has oil clutch in center which only activates on slip, Renegade has extra built in auto locker which keeps center locked even when it's not moving, little extra thing which splits the 50/50 without hesitation...I really wish Subaru would ditch the CVT and add center and rear locker
Micah's "Renegade" rendition (at the 13:00 videomark) shows me just how old I am. I always think of the Styx song "Renegade" when I see this Jeep.
I seen my 1.3 engine getting around 30s to 40 to a gallon on a highway the JL rides really smooth and also has 500 torque 400 horse
"While we wait for that Mercedes to crash-" *Liked*
Ok keep up this family review. The repartee is amusing. Subscribed!
I like these videos more than the kbb videos lol
This is the perfect vid I personally have a 2017 and have it outfitted for off-road use but now that we are having a daughter in about a month needed to see how we were going to fit a car seat
In my country in Europe, we have Tesla's as taxis and most chic Mercedes too, so most people drive small cars like Renault, Citroën or Fiat and Volvo and Audi are very popular.. I hardly see Jeep and so I decided to test drive one of these Renegades to hopefully lease one
"Too much is my favorite amount". Love it!
Yeah it’s a cute little Ute when optioned out but $36k as tested? No power seat for front passenger, no power rear hatch, underpowered engine.. I would shop around before buying this thing.
5inches is too small. Jeep can’t use the “what...it’s cold” excuse since you’re in SoCal. 7-8 is a good size...those Volvo screens are intimidating even for me.
What does that mean?
Lol best review ever! So much going on.
Here Virginia Beach, Virginia. People here drive insanely crazy. To them 45 MPH speed limit is 55-70 MPH to them. I have people hunk at me when I’m going 45 MPH speed limit or even in neighborhood when the speed limit is 25MPH to them is like 40MPH.
Overall, thanks for this review!
Thanks for this. I started my jeep journey with a renegade, finally after never thinking it would ever be financially possible for me I upgraded to my beloved 2 door JL wrangler. I have a kid on the way so a 2 door may be a no go for baby seat. Im considering getting rid of the wrangler for a renegade for that reason (also the cheaper monthly payments certainly help). Finding out the hard way that paternal sacrifices come well before the little one is even here.
Who else thinks Micah should sing in all of the videos!
I just don’t see the value with Jeep’s pricing strategy.
As someone who bought a well optioned unlimited for 26k in 2010, that same car would cost me ~42k today. That’s still 12k over the adjusted for inflation number. I just don’t see the 12k in content between the JK and JL generations to justify the upgrade.
On the bright side. The 2010 is idiot proof - ten years of headache free driving.
The as tested price of this vehicle is shocking!
I like that it has front parking sensors. My moms Lincoln Navigator has them and I cannot live without them anymore
okay, im in love with Evie. Micah cute, but look at her. Black maxi and red chucks. Gurl you WERKed
Well, 5 inches used adequately is great, last night on the radio i heard its the motion in the ocean that causes the waves.................whatever that means..........
Is the gas cap door LOCKING?
You've got a cute family brother!.. Good wishes from Bombay, India.
I believe the 1.3 L turbocharged engine gives much better economy and probably higher torque, which would justify the upgrade to some people.
I usually don't use this word, but you guys are absolutely adorable! Thanks for the review!
We own TWO of these (long story, don't ask) .... a 2015 & 2017. (BTW, if another reviewer mentions "Easter Eggs" again, I WILL scream!) Neither are mine, but I drive them both. The engine & transmission mapping is completely different between the two models, with the 2015's engine twice as peppy, and it's brakes three times more sensitive. Fuel economy (on paper) on the 2015 is every bit of 30MPG, and the 2017 @ 28+MPG. Both are smooth and you can drive any length trip with ease. I am a fairly sporty driver, and the engine is plenty for this car, in town and on the hwy. You can tell it's a small engine, but it makes you appreciate technology, and the erratic shifting should be an embarrassment for the designers, so much so that they should do an update for every one of these at no cost to the owner. These Renegades are not perfect, and I won't give a full review, but rolling down the highway you will find yourself thinking, "I like this car." Ours are both 2WD, so off-roading is not a consideration. And, buy at the end of the season or even a year or two back, new off the lot, and save thousands of bucks.
Wow, awesome video and I forgot how nice these were! Also, you guys had me in tears I was laughing so hard so many times! Also, I loved the singing bit!😸😸😻😸😸
I can’t believe this car is in its 6th model year.
Such a great Video! Best greetings from Austria ! 😍
Sending love your way from California!
Micah Loved The Vlog Awesome as Always! Having A Guest Is Epic ! I’m so Jealous cause he got a Great Air Ride!!
This was a great video. Not the >$35K FIAT, but you and your family. Happy Canada Day!
4 cylinder motor is plenty unless you're pulling a boat etc imo. Good stuff Micah. Thanks.
Best review for anything I've ever seen ✨
Aww they are so cute together
I bought 2018 jeep for 16,000 brand new. I have the 8.4 inch screen and all of that. I think the price has to do alot with inflation as wel because I remember they had my same jeep on the showroom floor all blacked out for 19,000. Before inflation this model would probably be like $24k- $26k. I wouldmt dare pay $36k for this car lol. How ever it’s a nice day to day car. It gets me around just fine.
As i’m watching your video I got more interested on how your relationship as a married couple is so fine and cool than what the 2020 Jeep renegade offers.
At the end of last year my wife got a jeep renegade latitude that is msrp $26,500 for $18500.
And at $18500 this jeep is awesome!
How did you guys get that price?
@@TheresFuckeryAfoot we bought our 2018 Renegade in Nov 2018 right when the 2019's were coming out and the dealer had some 2018s left. This year might be different because of the car shortage is raising prices.
Comfort levels in a Renegade:
1- Drivers Seat
2- R, L Back seats
3- Passenger Seat
4- Middle back
I wonder what the long term reliability is on this vehicle. Side note, dope outro y'all! You guys are a fun family
I am considering this car
I like how Americans consider this "a small car".
There’s always at least one person commenting this on every video. It never fails.
@@pm0913 well it's my first time :) is there a problem?
Tell your girl I appreciate the shoe offer but I don't think those would fit me. But the offer is very nice of her. Yes, yet again I watched yet another car review for a car I would never consider owning lol. What the heck is going on with this family values car review style you got going? Plus as I mentioned I just love flying and aerospace in general even though I have yet to have real stick time I really dig the flying videos as well. Oh and regarding the five inches thing; they tell me it's how you use it but then again I also have heard bigger is better. Not sure what is what here but I doubt this effects me at all sadly. Thank you for the continued awesomeness...
"Middle position for maximum safety!" Thanks Micah, I've been preaching that to friends for awhile now--especially those who have just one child.
Also, how cool would it be to live next to the Muzios? You'd never make another bad car purchase again!
Deja Vu? Didn't you already hit 50K subscribers and admit to using a Flobee? LOL
He recorded this review before hitting 50k, probably has a few other reviews doone months ago to avoid covid
I've got 3 kids and it works for us ages 8,12,13 youngest in the middle
Love your family reviews!
what a happy review
👍👍👌👌One of the most funniest reviews on this car great couple very funny guy🤣😂
I kinda wish they'd make a 3door version of this renegade.. but I still love this jeep
13:47 stop screaming at me...that is so me 😂😂😂
Did you have the removable roof? How were thesunroof?
Booyah 👊 😁 👍 🇺🇲
And if you're thinking about drivetrain durability, the naturally aspirated 2.4L will very likely be less trouble than the 1.3L turbo in the long term.
Do you think those 9 speed transmissions are finally figured out by now?
Ahhh you have your own channel now??? Always liked your reviews. Subbed!!,👍😎Including the wife a nice change. 👍👍😎😎 Ilike the Renegade👍😎. 5 inches??!!!!🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳😂😂😂😂 Lol
Welcome!!!
It really is in a different category than the CRV, not only in size but target market
Hey one of the infomercials was Billy Maze with the Paint Fix-it.
I didnt know you had your own channel. Subscribed.
Limit your
If this was wider, longer and had a V6 or electric, It might be good.
Your daughter is so happy and adorable
Great Reviews! Can you do a Jeep Grand Cherokee review please?
Hhaa i love ur videos fam !! Slautes from Mexico !
Cheers, Ernesto!!
Hmmm this would be great for me (just me and my infant!) and two dogs! My CRV feels small for me!
Cute little jeep!💕
OMG you two are such children! LOL I've always like these for some reason but still can't bring myself to buying one. But it's pretty cool. And yes I would take a free shoe! As always, great review!
Hi Micah, what's up?
Have you ever reviewed the Lincoln Aviator?
Have a nice day. Tkx
Yay! Family review! But gees that things expensive
I love my renegade trailhawk.
For reasons I cannot fathom prices on Jeeps are downright exorbitant here in Mexico compared to their rivals.
Just because it says the MSRP is $36g doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay that unless you live in a country that has fixed pricing. We picked up a 18 Latitude 4x4 model with a MSRP of $27g for just $18g plus taxes brand new. The 19 model year was just hitting the lots and the deals on the 18 models were too good to pass up.
Yeah I don’t think the Renegade is selling very well in the USA. Maybe that’s a reason why there are so many good deals to be had!
I know you guys own a CR-V and that you're a big Honda guy, but what other cars do you personally own? I know you used to have an S2000 and am just curious what's in the Micah approved collection.
It's nice to see even adults making inappropriate jokes. Shows the fun doesn't stop when you grow up. :)
$36k for a Renegade is way too expensive but Jesus Chrysler new 2020 Renegades are as cheap as $12k online. I think the power train and reliability are bad but for prices that low I’d start considering a new Renegade over a used car.
Great review. Looking forward to the next one. Oh ya'. Evie is a doll. She's a cutie.
Fun review, Micha! Good looking family, too. This is my first car review video that I’ve seen by you. I usually just watch your helicopter episodes. I do a lot of research on vehicles, an odd hobby of mine, and know that the Renegade is basically a re-badged Fiat 500X. All the underpinnings, the engine and the rest of the drivetrain is the Fiat 500X. I used to work for 2 different auto research and development companies and so I like digging this stuff up. But, I don’t think its a secret. I’m very familiar with Fiat’s reliability history so I’m stay clear of them. Not that Chrysler’s reliability record is anything to brag about. I do love the Wranglers, though, and would buy one. I’ve owned several Jeep Wranglers and I love them and they’ve been very reliable for me. I was multitasking while watching this video, so if you flashed that Fiat 500x rebadging across the screen, please forgive my bring it up. I’m very busy and sometimes can’t devote 100% eyes glued to the screen. I do watch your helicopter episodes without distractions, though! I grew up in the LA area and love to see all the changes and old landmarks. I moved out of Southern California decades ago. I miss the state, but can’t afford to live there unless willing to give up a lot of luxuries, like eating. All the best to you and your family, Sir!
Oh boy did we learn that price was a LIE. we wanted a fully loaded one just like this with every option, car needed yo being thousands more, which equaled hundreds more in the monthly payment. My mom ended up walking away with a freaking Jeep Compass limited (standard equipment that the limited comes with) no safety tech sunroof, nav or sensors. I was pissed at the dealer!
