The Jeep Renegade is an SUV which manages to combine the rugged looks of an off-roader with the smaller size of a family hatchback, making it easier to drive on the road. It’s five-door body and roomy interior make it a good family car choice. All versions look tough and purposeful, but the top-of-the-range Trailhawk comes with bigger wheels and bold body graphics.
With it’s high driving position, good visibility and compact dimensions, the Renegade is an easy car to drive. Light steering also makes it easy to park. There’s a choice of two and four-wheel drive, both of which are comfortable on the road, easily handling bumps. The petrol and diesel engines feel responsive on the move, while four-wheel drive models are brilliant off-road. They’re also a great choice for towing.
The five-seat Renegade is a similar size to a family hatchback making it a roomy and practical choice. There’s plenty of headroom and only very tall passengers will struggle with the legroom in the back. The boot is roomy and there’s easily enough space for three medium-sized suitcases.
