Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 2020 - Small Off-Roader With Big Potential (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

- Jeep Renegade is a small SUV made in cooperation with Fiat. Underneath the Renegade shares a lot of components with the 500X. At first glance it’s hard to imagine what the boxy Jeep and sleek Fiat can have in common.
The name Renegade first appeared on a Jeep in the early 1970s. It was a trim level on the CJ - the Wrangler’s father. The Renegade returned in the mid 1990s for the YJ Wrangler trim. And then in the early naughties the KJ Cherokee or Liberty also had the Renegade trim.
After the Cherokee there was also the Renegade concept with a hybrid drivetrain (as of recent several Jeeps are available as PHEVs), and in 2014 we got this - the Jeep Renegade BU.
The test car is the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. It not only gets AWD, but also the better kind of AWD with simulated low range and rock crawl mode. The Trailhawk also has better off road angles than other Renegades. The approach, break-over and departure angles for the Trailhawk are 30, 34, and 24 degrees respectively, whereas the more city oriented models get about 20, 25 and 21 degrees.
The Trailhawk can wade in water up to 48 cm deep, although in the manual it says if there’s a current, it’s best to keep it down to 22 cm. The ground clearance is 21 cm.
How is the small Jeep off-road?

Is it perfect no, but... It has proper off road capabilities unlike all of its competitors and yes it looks different then most cars on the road and I think for that reason it's a great car
It was made for modification in mind and it is relatively easy to do so as a result
But spot on review of this car
One of the most underated crossovers,still better than anything based on mqb vau vau based crossovers..Any eyes dont hurt like on skoda kamig.
I totally agree with you... I have a Renegade Trailhawk too and it is a very capable offroader... Just put some proper tires under there and some good driving skills are the secret to compete with even the big sis Wrangler.....
The exterior of the car is lovely but the interior, at least for me, is kind of a let down. This handle for the passenger is so unnecessary and looks like an afterthought. Most buyers will be using this for a daily drive to the store, school and so on, not to drive on top of a desert dune or a mountainous terrain. That is why the interior need to be a little more refined, especially in that price range.
It's a Jeep, and it has to retain some of the off-road character. There's always the Fiat 500X for the more city-oriented buyer.
You need to use Rock mode to lock 50x50% torque
We are lucky you and A. had prepared some more films before the lockdown came. :-) Regards!
Nice to see small SUV which still maintain off-road capabilities.
It sure is!
Which car is good in terms of off road. Suzuki Jimny or Jeep Renegade?
Great review and spot on. I'm shocked you achieved fuel economy numbers even that high. Here in the States, economy is no better than 10l/100 km. I think the Fiat 500X is better in every way.
You guys probably get it with the 2.4 Tigershark, which sounds like a recipe for poor gas milage :)
@@MarekDrives Yup.
😂 they get 33 to 40 on the highway I don't know where you got yours but that vehicle must be super stripped down and engine 1.3 is not a 3 cylinder it's a 4-cylinder
It's a press car. 2-liter diesel. Also US highway implies 70 mph? In Poland it's up to 87 mph.
I would rather go for a Korean car.
ya i would too
Das Auto ist sehr Scheiße.
This thing is as overpriced in the EU as the Fait 500x is in the USA, haha.
nice video.
True! Thanks for watching!
Not a great review for a car that doesnt deserve it...I've had a 2020 Limited model with 2.0 litre diesel 9 speed auto and 4x4 system for 4 months now and think its a great car...Economy is reading 37.5mpg for mostly city driving when I get on the motorway it averages around 50 mpg...Ride quality is good, i have bridgestone summer tyres...Interior quality is ok but full heated leather seats and heated steering wheel...the uconnect 8.4 system is excellent...havent had a chance to test the 4x4 modes yet...price wise it can be expensive if you spec it out but my car is basically a trailhawk without the under body skid plates and I paid £22k...New...
So it's basically not a Trailhawk, because it has a different AWD system :)
@@MarekDrives Almost the same, just missing Rock mode...
And the approach, breakover, and departure angles. That's what makes the Trailhawk, and that's what adds up to the price (and yes, it's overpriced regardless of the trim).
What kind of headlights are those? I can’t find them online and would like to purchase some.
Stock.
But Marek we Italians dispisa parking sensors becausa we like to park a car with bumping into another car and beeping just bothers us.
That's a valid point actually. I never thought of that :)
Thanks for the review. I used to find your reviews a bit too critical, but now I come to watch them because of your critical reviews, i.e. I want to know the weak points rather than listen to guys who praise everything.
I appreciate that!
I cannot stand the Jeep Renegade. But you are lovable Marek! ;)
One tries one's best :)
I misread "trackhawk" and was like whaaat?
Worst review of the Renegade TH I've seen. There are tons of reviews that put the Jeep Renegade TH to its places. And it competes with Wranglers in those reviews. Plus, you don't go off road with stock street all season tires like you did in this review. 100% unreliable review at best.
Jeep provided me this press car with stock tires, so this is the best I can do.
I am with Ninja. Saying this car is not capable offroad is at least stupid
In Lithuania Renegade starts at €19490 for Longitude 1.0 120 FWD. Renegade Limited with 2.0 diesel, 4WD and Automatic gearbox starts at €27490. I couldn't find price for Trailhawk version.
Love my 2018 Limited, just a perfect car for rural England :)
Like it but it needed more thoroughly redesign. Parking sensors manual control would be great for me.
Great, realistic reviews always Marek.
Its time for a redesign don’t you think? I’d like to see it look more like a Wrangler.
It came out in 2015, underwent a facelift recently, so it's another 1-3 years until the next gen. It's not a big seller, so no point investing in it.
Overpriced FIAT
Price is set for discount at dealerships.
this car is to boxy
: ))
Finally some real review.. thanks
You're kidding right... This isn't a review. Its a guy who doesn't know to to off road with stock street all season tires...
This seems very overpriced.
Jeep is overpriced in Europe.
@@MarekDrives it sure does, thanks for the great review.
I never liked this car. It reminds me the Playmobil cars i played as a kid 😄.
Dacia Duster makes more sense, as this car isn’t near premium, it isn’t very good off-road, not practical and not that cool.
Jeep is terribly overpriced in Europe.
Didn't see anything to recommend it. What's the safety rating? 3
For 38K Eur I would start to look at MINI Countryman. Good looking car, but too pricey.
And Duster beats it on off-road.
It’s a seriously ugly and gruesome car
