During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZread!

I'm not sure why so many people don't like this car, I think it's really cool! I love all the little easter eggs and throwbacks. Great video as always Kyle, the comparison with the Kia Soul was great too! I think I'd pick the Jeep for the retro aspects. It's clear that Jeep has a hit on their hands, I hear these are really flying off dealer lots. Keep up the great work!

Ikr i love its design i hated it at first but then i noticed it was unique and fits my personality..... look at bright side, atleast it wont get stolen 😊
for the people needing a fun, cool, and small 4x4 car, i love it
No matter what people say I will always love these little jeeps
I just spent 5 days in one of these in Death Valley. Driving on the highway to the park revealed a tall vehicle with a relativity narrow track that didn't encourage anything over moderate corning speeds. The 2.4 engine seemed to designed with NVH (noise,vibration & harshness) to encourage people to opt for the V-6 on Jeep's larger offerings. The seats are not comfortable on a long trip and NEED a lumbar adjustment like the Latitude model has. The automatic transmission occasionally left us flat footed for long moments after pressing on the gas pedal. However, on the Jeep trails and dirt roads the little guy earned it's nick name: MIGHTY MOUSE! Its off-road capabilities at a low price are the reasons to purchase one of these. Rather then compare it to a Kia, think of it as a cheaper and more comfortable alternative to a Wrangler for moderate trails.
I love how everyone jumps on the "But it's not a real Jeep, no metal bumpers, it's shit, rather keep my old POS Jeep." Bandwagon... Lol you guys are funny and never want to accept change.

Wow, didn't expect so much hate for this thing. I like its quirkiness.
For the price and its competition, it's the coolest car you can get.
Definitely would pick the Renegade over the Soul

I love Jeep and I like how they took a turn with this design. Great review BTW!
Nice thorough revire. Love the great amount of detail about the brakes and struts
I love this review. This is what got me into the renegade! Great job as always Kyle!
People need to except the fact that Jeep is going in an all new direction and wants to be different. Everyone hated the new Cherokee when it came out and now everyone has accepted it and I think it will be the same with this car. And I bet that the new Wrangler is going to look something like this so everyone better get used to it.

Brandon Wiley I still feel salty over the new Cherokee. The old design was just... better. And if you take a look at Land Rover and The Mercedes G-wagen, big and boxy is still most definitely in-style. By the number of Cherokees still on the road(probably the most numerous SUV from the 90s), Jeep should take a hint and realize that the new Cherokee could do well with a facelift.

All y'all on here complaining about the car most likely don't even have a car so shut up 🤐
Hello, we have had our Trail Hawk for a couple of weeks and couldn't be more happy. Very nice ride with a firmness thats not harsh yet very capable off road. Gets more fun as the trans seems to learn your style of driving, yet gives decent MPG. Lots of headroom and comfortable inside. We have the keyless entry and remote start with blind spot indication very nice to have. My wife loves the heated seats and steering wheel too. Also have the premium interior with a 40-20-40 rear seat fold down, which when the center folded down gives the rear passengers a arm rest along with big cup holders. We got the NAV 6.5, 9 speaker sub woofer and when paired with the I6 phone its nice to be able to talk hands free. Its not a Rubicon or a Caddy, but it do'es everything well with no complaints for a lot less money.

@@sabrinacollins4329 Hello yes still have her and i enjoy it. she has around 75,000 no major repairs. routine maintenance and change oil a lot. We also bought another new Trail Hawk with the same equipment, so I get to daily drive the old one and she drives the new one. I definitely like the cold weather package with remote start heated seats and steering wheel. To be honest we have snow here but I've never used the 4 wheel drive yet, only to see what it can do. It's the best winter car we have ever had.

Wow I love all the detail u put into this video.. Keep up the great work.. Thank you again
I thought this was hideous in the thumbnail but I'm glad I watched this. I LOVE all the throwbacks and Easter eggs. I got over the cars looks and it just looks like another jeep to me now. Also the Bigfoot walking up the rear window is cool even tho It isn't really a throwback more of a nice touch like the mud on redline
This color is gorgeous, my dealer has an orange one that someone customized with KC fog lights it’s so cool looking
I think it is a great looking car, very different from any other cars out there- but still you can tell right away that it is a Jeep. I hope it will be well priced in Australia.
I honestly don't understand why people hate it so much, its a cute car. I can't drive yet but I sure wish I could. I would hands down buy this car.
Another nicely detailed review, as always. Thanks for the comparison to the Kia.

Your reviews are among the best of all of KZread, If I need to know something about a car I know who to ask! -Joe R
Great review! I totally agree that the Kia Soul is similar to the Renegade. I had a car accident in my Kia Soul a little over a month ago and the car was total loss. A bull moose ran in front of my Kia Soul and literally threw my car right off the road out in the woods. I realized then I needed something a little more heavier and something with 4 wheel drive but I still wanted the hip Kia Soul look. There was no Trailhawk editions in Newfoundland so I'm having one shipped to me from Ontario and needless to say, my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk can't come soon enough! So excited! Everyone has their own opinion on vehicles but anyone like myself that loves hip boxy little SUVs, the renegade is probably your best bet as far as safety and performance goes! Love love love 💕
Those little easter eggs are awesome.
Thanks for the new video Kyle! :)
Best in depth review I've seen of the Renegade. Good job. I think it looks kind of cool. I prefer the Trailhawk trim but it's a bit pricier than I'd like.
Wtf you guys are on crack?! This thing is fucking awesome! If I were in the market for a small SUV I would definitely take this, looks better than the compass and the patriot
Even if it isn't the best looking, high quality car, all of those little heritage touches are awesome. Shows they really actually care about their cars.
This Jeep has grown on me
Awesome review Kyle! I'm thinking about buying one.
I actually really like the design. The interior is really detailed too. 👍🏽
Great little car. Awsome in depth review!
What a great review. Thank you!
I really like the idea that Jeep was going for, an affordable but capable Jeep to give you a classic Jeep experience without paying a lot. But I don't feel like they designed it well. Maybe they'll do better with Gen 2 Renegade.
I like it. And if things go well my wife will be driving something similar to this next year.
Excellent review Sir.
You are the best KZread ever !!!
I sat in one of these at the Autoshow in Toronto a few months back. Loved it. The Interior, the design, the seating position (i'm approx 6'4). Back seat was a little "meh," but good. I'd buy one. Oh, and great video as always.
I test drove this a few days ago and this car is surprisingly an amazing car. Im 6'4" and I have at least 5" of clearance in the lowest seat setting with lots of leg room. My fiance is going to buy this and we can get a latitude model for $14-15,000 MSRP. My brother owns a kia soul and hands down the renegade is better because the soul is bland and very boring
THANK YOU KYLE I WAS ABOUT TO EMAIL YOU TO REVIEW ONE AND YOU BEAT ME TO IT.... THANKS! :)
To dispel some myths: the car is built by fiat but has the same sturdy feel you would expect in a jeep. It is more jeep than fiat in every respect. The exterior looks silly but it grows on you, I promise. The Dawn of Justice edition is a blacked out limited. Waste of money, buy the limited in black instead.
your videos are very informative.
I'm in love with this car
Wow, i love this review, i have the 2014 dodge dart, and i love it, but i think i want this as my next car, living in idaho it would help in the snow. But i think after watching this you have convinced me to get this as my next vehicle :)
As always this is a great review by Kyle. If FCA were to manufacture it in the US and offered a turbo Diesel engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, I would like to buy one. As it is right now, no deal.
Always like your reviews, Saabkyle, keep it up! btw if you can review the GMC Sierra 2015 that would be cool, i dont know if your already reviewed it or not, but if you didnt, please do, thanks!
Love the unique design.
That is a very, very nice ride indeed.
Hey Kyle, Great video, love the looks of this little Jeep! Is there any video of a nice Classic coming up soon? It's been a while, haha!
Great Review!
like always a great review, and I love how secretly this car reminds me of my Scion xb (2005) i.e tall ceilings, shape etc. im thinking of getting this car simply because of the ceiling height.
I test drove this. It is a fun car. It's strictly a suburban driving car no need to get a 4x4 front wheel drive is all you need. Its build for someone of average to below average size. The styling is cool
I love the brake light design
Hey great review by the way. I was just wondering where did you get that keychain? it's awesome. Anyway great stuff bud
Excellent review... bit late, never heard of this Jeep until now 🤔 😆
This is probably the most interesting car from Jeep right now. The quirky looks and the fact that it pretty capable off road makes it one of the best compact suv in my opinion. Like the comparison with KIA Soul, you should do more of that Kyle. And speaking about compact suv, could you review the new Honda HRV and Mazda CX3?

I'd like it up against the Toyota FJ Cruiser because that's about the level of quirk they tried to bring into this design.
I would love for u to do a updated review of the Kia Soul
Was going to buy this car. I thought it just came out and realized its a 2015. I don't think I've seen anyone driving it! I had a KIA Soul which I loved and only traded it in bc the service department ripped me off. That's another story, so I traded it in for a Fiat 500L, which I love but I wanted something a bit rugged---but not a truck or a SUV.... The renegade looked cool on the website, but after seeing this video I'm not gonna waste any money on this. I'll keep my eyes out for something in the future. Awesome detailed video!
Great review Kyle, can you do a review just like this one of the new 2016 Mazda MX5? Thanks.
GREAT VID REVIEW..WOW YOU DID A COMPREHENSIVE JOB!
Wow u did this car already!

I'm young and I do a lot of traveling and need something to tow behind a large motor home. I have an old Geo Tracker that's served us well, but I'm looking for something a little more comfortable, but still capable. We don't do a lot of off roading, but I certainly want to be able to get out of trouble if I find myself in it. I also have a Grand Cherokee that we leave at home, and I've kind of felt like I wanted a mix of the two cars, and this seems to be pretty close. So far, it seems perfect for what I'm looking for.
surprisingl tight, fun to drive vehicle with 6 spd manual is a blast!

Finally, the Nissan Juke has some competition!
Nice Jeep.
Good review like the car. Can you try to do the new 2015 Range Rover SVR review.
"Identical length but not related wheelbase" It's exactly that kind of detail I've come to expect here!
