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 TH-cam! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
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 😊
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
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.
Wow, didn't expect so much hate for this thing. I like its quirkiness.
I know some people don't like this car... but I actually really like it!
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
For the price and its competition, it's the coolest car you can get.
I have seen this review 5 years ago still in watching it today, both the reviewer & Renegade are awesome.
Nice thorough revire. Love the great amount of detail about the brakes and struts
I love this review. This is what got me into the renegade! Great job as always Kyle!
I love Jeep and I like how they took a turn with this design. Great review BTW!
Your Videos are getting better and better.. great job!
Great review and i really like the 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
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.
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
I'm seriously thinking about getting one!
Wow I love all the detail u put into this video.. Keep up the great work.. Thank you again
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.
Very good, thorough review. Thanks.
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.
Another nicely detailed review, as always. Thanks for the comparison to the Kia.
Excellent comprehensive review
Al
drove this car. loved it.
This Jeep has grown on me
This color is gorgeous, my dealer has an orange one that someone customized with KC fog lights it’s so cool looking
Looks like a lot of fun!
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
Your reviews are among the best of all of TH-cam, If I need to know something about a car I know who to ask! -Joe R
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 💕
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
GREAT review.
10/10.
Thank You.
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.
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.
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
Thanks for the new video Kyle! :)
Those little easter eggs are awesome.
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 :)
I like it. And if things go well my wife will be driving something similar to this next year.
Oh my gosh. I've waited for this day!
Awesome review Kyle! I'm thinking about buying one.
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.
What a great review. Thank you!
The Trailhawk package gives it a more sporty look. I can't wait to film one!
They seem pretty nice.
Great little car.
Awsome in depth review!
Excellent review Sir.
I actually really like the design. The interior is really detailed too. 👍🏽
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.
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
THANK YOU KYLE I WAS ABOUT TO EMAIL YOU TO REVIEW ONE AND YOU BEAT ME TO IT.... THANKS! :)
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
your videos are very informative.
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!
I'm in love with this car
All y'all on here complaining about the car most likely don't even have a car so shut up 🤐
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 :)
That is a very, very nice ride indeed.
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.
like always a great review, and I love how secretly this car reminds me of my Scion xb (2005) i.e tall ceilings, shape etc. im thinking of getting this car simply because of the ceiling height.
Great Review!
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
I would love for u to do a updated review of the Kia Soul
Always like your reviews, Saabkyle, keep it up!
btw if you can review the GMC Sierra 2015 that would be cool, i dont know if your already reviewed it or not, but if you didnt, please do, thanks!
Excellent review... bit late, never heard of this Jeep until now 🤔 😆
Love the unique design.
I love the brake light design
cool review..!
GREAT VID REVIEW..WOW YOU DID A COMPREHENSIVE JOB!
I think this is a very cool Jeep!
So much character, not my favorite car on the road but it is cool in its own way.
EXCELENTE POSTAGEM .
SUCESSO,MY FRIEND Saabkyle04 .
You are the best TH-cam ever !!!
surprisingl tight, fun to drive vehicle with 6 spd manual is a blast!
Great car, especially in that color
I love it, I couldn't give up my landboat 300c but damn I want that tiny jeep haha
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.
Hey Kyle, Great video, love the looks of this little Jeep! Is there any video of a nice Classic coming up soon? It's been a while, haha!
I love the style.
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.
dont know why but it looks awesome
I dig this funky compact suv. :)
What! I think this car looks super cute. I'd drive it everywhere
Hey, could you do a review on a saturn sky. Great review as always. Good day!
Wow u did this car already!
Hey great review by the way. I was just wondering where did you get that keychain? it's awesome. Anyway great stuff bud
looks cool
Cool?! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA your kidding right?
Kaiman7705 Yea hes kidding
Nice Jeep.
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.
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.
"Identical length but not related wheelbase" It's exactly that kind of detail I've come to expect here!
Great review Kyle, can you do a review just like this one of the new 2016 Mazda MX5? Thanks.
Thank you!
Finally, the Nissan Juke has some competition!
Good review like the car.
Can you try to do the new 2015 Range Rover SVR review.
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.
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!
Cute little Jeep. I'm not too keen on that color though, I think it would look nice in black or white.
NICE 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review
