Jeep Renegade (2014-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Capable of proper off-roading	Uninspired to drive on Tarmac
Roomy cabin	Reliability concerns
Eye-catching appearance	Disappointing score in Euro NCAP safety tests

Quick Summary

The Jeep Renegade (2014-present) is a compact SUV that immediately stands out with its distinctive, rugged, and American-inspired design, echoing classic Jeep aesthetics. Despite being the smallest Jeep available in the UK, it offers a surprisingly roomy cabin, particularly for headroom, though rear legroom and boot space are acceptable rather than exceptional. Sharing mechanical underpinnings with the Fiat 500X, it competes in a highly popular segment of compact SUVs.

On the road, the Renegade delivers a reasonable but not particularly engaging driving experience, with artificial steering and some road/wind noise at higher speeds. Engine options evolved, with later petrol engines offering good efficiency and diesels suiting high mileage. A 2018 facelift introduced updated styling, improved infotainment with smartphone connectivity, and enhanced safety features, although a 2019 Euro NCAP retest resulted in a three-star rating, highlighting a lack of modern active safety systems. While it holds its value fairly well, potential buyers should be aware of reported reliability concerns.

Best for: Drivers seeking a compact SUV with distinctive, rugged styling and potential off-road capability, or those who prioritize a roomy cabin for its size and eye-catching appearance.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising a refined, engaging on-road driving experience, buyers with strong concerns about reliability or top-tier safety ratings, or those needing abundant rear legroom or exceptional boot space.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Renegade if: You're looking for a compact SUV with distinctive, rugged styling and potential off-road capability, or if you prioritize a roomy cabin for its size and eye-catching appearance.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a refined, engaging on-road driving experience, have strong concerns about reliability or top-tier safety ratings, or need abundant rear legroom or exceptional boot space.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Renegade (2014-present) offers a unique proposition in the crowded compact SUV market with its iconic, rugged styling and genuine off-road capability. While it provides a roomy interior and stands out visually, its on-road driving dynamics are merely adequate, and potential buyers should be mindful of reported reliability concerns and a less-than-stellar recent Euro NCAP safety rating. It appeals to those seeking character and adventure over pure on-road refinement or class-leading safety.
