Most Jeep owners are not that concerned with fuel economy. However, in the "cute ute" segment; the Renegade has the 2nd most horsepower in both the 1.4L Turbo (160) and the 2.4L Tigershark (180) in the class only trailing the Nissan Juke. As compared to the Subaru XV Crosstrek (148), Chevy Trax (138), and Honda HR-V (140).
It's great but I bought the sport rather than the trail hawk. I like the manual transmission better and the turbo 4. So far it's been a pleasure to drive! I would highly recommend to who ever is thinking about getting it.
larkyleroy how reliable has it been, I'm planning on getting a trailhawk for the wife
The Drive Time Soliloquy™ is always the highlight of any Hammes review
Khu NoPie You crack me up!
At a certain point in each review, you tap your inner Shakespeare and morph from Hammes to Hamlet -"To buy or not to buy? ... that is the question."TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes
It's ugly but at the same time it's not. I would buy it.
Latham, NY here
The diesel is noisier but better consumption about 50mpg
It's kinda tempting, but I'm holding out for the diesel wrangler pickup.
We just have to wait to see how reliable or un- this is gonna be, after all it is built by FIAT, Tony the mechanic's favorite brand.
pedrof830 lol
Steve, would you pick this over the Subaru Crosstrek? I think a lot of buyers looking for a entry-level 4x4 (like me) would be cross-shopping these.
I like both. The styling of the Renegade is a turn off for some. I'm not a big Subie guy but the Crosstrek is a favorite of mine.
What's a crawl ratio? You mentioned the Wrangler is 70:1 and Renegade is 20:1?
Denton Armstrong It represents the gear reduction when you shift into 4-low...a higher number means that more torque gets to the wheels at a low engine speed to power over rocks and other obstacles while "crawling" along. Typically a 60:1 ratio would be a starting point for serious off-roaders but a 20:1 in a small, stock SUV like this isn't bad...especially when you consider that most others don't even offer a low ranges.
what kind of fuel does it uses
Shivanand Gunness Good ol’ 87 octane.
Yeah the Renegade doesn't have dual over heard cam like its competitors. But it has something nifty in the Chrysler/Fiat branded MultiAir.
The exhaust valves are actuated by a conventional belt driven camshaft. But the intake valves are actuated by oil pressure(closed by conventional valve spring). A rocker arm for the intake valve is driven by the exhaust cam. That rocker powers a small oil pump. Then a computer controlled solenoid valve opens and the oil opens the intake valve. Since there's no direct mechanical connection with the intake valve and the camshaft, you can do all sorts of things with the intake valve timing, duration and lift.
mx5hong Excellent explanation of MultiAir2. Plus the CR-V's CVT helps, too.
TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes I think if I own a car with MultiAir, I would be OCD when it comes to oil changes with the correct grade/brand. Could you imagine if one of the solenoid valve gets gummed up with sludge? :o
It all rests on that column of oil plus Fiat's reliability ratings are still near the bottom so that would concern me some.
TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes Thus, it's nickname for Fiat -- Fix it again, Tony...
mx5hong I think it uses a thin motor oil 0w20.
I think I'll pass on the Fiat and head over to my nearest Subaru dealership!
It doesn't look like a Mommy mobile like Honda.
only 24 mpg average with a 9 speed transmission? just give it a 6-speed, these 8 9 and 10 speed transmissions are such gimmicks.
$30k USD is a bit much. Are they trying to go bankrupt again?
It is a little pricey but the features that you can get and the interior is so much better than the Honda or the Subaru
Right now this looks like an ugly turtle. But with the hellcat engine, itd be a cute little kitten!!!
Except for the grill, it looks nothing like a Jeep. The silhouette and overall lines remind me too much of a Nissan Cube. As Jeep moves to be more "swoopified", they'll lose their identity to other makes.
Please stop saying the word jeep
