Pros Spacious cabin, forgiving ride, generous list of standard and optional tech features.
Cons Four-cylinder could use a bit more power, boring driving dynamics, exterior styling isn't for everyone.
Pros Stylish, quiet and high-tech interior Roomy seating and a huge cargo area Added off-road capability with X-Pro trim
Cons Standard engine supplies leisurely acceleration Subpar fuel economy from this engine too
The Jeep Renegade offers distinctive styling and decent practicality, but most rivals make it feel agricultural.
Pros Plenty of standard equipment Good safety rating Genuine off-road ability
Cons Unsettled ride Awful refinement Comparatively expensive
Pros Feels like a proper off-road application of hybrid tech – and it works well off road Preserves the Renegade’s plucky charm. It’s good fun to drive at times
Cons Hybrid system doesn’t tame the Renegade’s rough-hewn temperament as a road car It also adversely affects carrying practicality, which was already in slightly mean supply
