What are your thoughts on how a 6MT Crosstrek would compare with the Renegade Trailhawk?

As a previous subaru owner and current renegade owner, there’s no question for me that the renegade is worlds beyond even subaru’s when it comes to off road prowess. I’ve taken my renegade through texas mud bogs and moab rocks and it has yet to fail me. That being said I have done some modifications but that is another great part about this car is the aftermarket support and the great community!

confettihunterminus1, When I test drove the 2020 renegade, it had severe gas pedal lag (almost half a second). This was especially noticeable when hammered to the floor and then quickly releasing the pedal, only to hear the engine still continuing to rev higher, despite your foot being off the pedal. Is this a common trait with the Renegades? Or did the one I test drive have an out of sync pedal? Just curious, because I never felt this in other drive by wire systems, but this was the only Renegade I have tested, and I would like to buy one maybe this year. The salesman wasn't much help on the topic...lol

Grant Deisig Super common unfortunately. That being said there’s a company called madness autoworks that has what they call a go pedal that allows you to tune the throttle response. It’s a super neat piece of gear.

I'm happy I got my brand new renny trailhawk for only $ 26,000 usd on black Friday last year. It has leather seats, panoramic sunroof, blind spot assist, 8.4 inch screen, beats speaker and heated seats and steering wheel. I love it!

Luv my trailhawk. I have been off roading in my trailhawk all over the west. The only thing you really need to offroad the trailhawk is offroading knowledge thats all. Know and understand its limitations and its capabilities. Learn about the importance of tire pressure, and the different offroad modes and what they do. Take a jeep offroad driving lesson. Yep Jeep offers offroad driving lessons all over the country. Take one. Lastly get some good all terrain tires, the stock tires are ok for dry unimproved forest roads but when the rocks get sharp and the weather turns for the worse all terrains are going to get you home. Oh and some recovery gear, I have a towstrap, maxx trax, a jack and an air compressor to air up my tires when I get back on asphalt. Thats it thats all you really need to head out into the west and explore.

I think a lot of people forget that while the Crosstrek does have a lot of offroad features and may be a little cheaper it does not have the angles the renegade trailhawk does. Approach, departure, and breakover angles are very important! Youll notice the renegade trailhawk has a different front bumper than all the other trim levels.

Heated manual cloth/leather seats, a 7” UConnect, no sunroof (less weight and no leaking) and less to break down for FAR less money than what you’ve tested, but the same capability.

I would argue that the turbo motor is a lot better choice for this than the old 2.4. The old 2.4 had much less torque much higher in the rev range. While the turbo needs a little speed to spool up, it will still have more torque at Torque Converter stall speeds than the old 2.4, especially at elevation. I think the addition of the Turbo motor is a big reason to buy this new model over the old one.

Just bought a 19 renegade 2.4 Saturday. . Love it so far

I have seen your videos and I can truly say much better off roader than the competition, hands down

I have a 2016 fully loaded trail hawk. Has its problems but I still love it. Snow mode has come in handy in more than 1 occasion. Got stuck at the beach. Used sandmode to get out and hooked up to the other cars stuck using the dedicated hooks. The trail hawk also has a higher clearance, sloped front/back and skid plates underneath in comparison to a regular renegade. I'm also able to pop off 2 plates off the top to make it feel more like an open top Wrangler.

I don't have the trail hawk but I have the latitude but that being said it is still amazing off-road it came with 4x4 and different drive modes like mud,rock,sand,snow and 4x4 lock took it to a very muddy trail never got stuck once!

I like that you use the same hill to test all cars, which gives us a fair comparison. I also don't care much how or what engages in the Renegade, it did the job and that's all what matters... Thanks

That looked like a fun day for you! I've always loved jeeps. I own a GC Summit diesel and a Cherokee TH. My son owns an Impreza Sport manual transmission. Both brands have been reliable and given us smiles when using them. Thanks for the video and take it easy all.

Who said that renegade isn’t a real jeep?! Great car, great video! 👍

My wife wants one. I can totally see why. I like it. Doable monthly and worth the money imo.

My wife has the Renegade Trail hawk, I drive a Rubicon And yes the Renegade keeps up with a tug now and then on leisure trails but for the most part is spot on, no complaints.

These little Trailhawks are amazing! There are tons of videos on KZread showing these baby jeeps tackle some pretty challenging trails. 200 lb/ft of torque is pretty amazing for such a small package. 😎👍👍

Anyone else notice that Volbeat came up when he went to audio? Great taste in music

I have a 2015 trailhawk with the 2.4 engine and I bought a madness autoworks autoflash and go pedal to give it more pep. Works just fine gives me the power I need. Autoflash makes the transmission shift smoother and the go pedal makes the gas pedal more sensitive to touch. Takes off faster from the line. I have had the two items for about 3 years now I believe. They posted my video on KZread when I first got it and had them installed.

I bought this Jeep a couple of days ago, same power train except in Limited trim, and I love this thing! Same color as in the video as well. Reviewers should keep in mind that people that are going to be going for cars like a Renegade or even a cross trek are normal folks that aren’t looking for the vehicle to pull off the line like a... sports. car. It may be a college student looking for something sporty and capable. I’m coming from a 2008 Ford Escape, so really anything is better than what I had. The power is awesome, the power is really there when you need to pass someone on the highway. I’ve gone thru THICK mud and made it out... in a limited trim. I’d recommend this thing forsure! Also, with rebates you can get that $37k down to $30-31 easy, maybe even less. My limited came out to $23k.

Great video! I have a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk, it is an amazing car. Greetings from Brazil!

Great video. Definitely changed my opinion about them seeing their capability.

Watching these compact suv videos showing off road performance makes me appreciate the old 2001 Chevy Tracker ZR2 (same as suzuki vitara) we had. Same size as this but has a sold rear axle, body on frame (no unibody), REAL 4x4 with real low range, and a decent 6 cyl engine. These new ones have better mpg and are more refined and safer but I don't think they are built as durable.

Love your videos, liked and subscribed. Thanks!

I have an ‘18 Trailhawk and I’ve gotten the “jump in with me, your Jeep won’t make it” from my wrangler friends. I laugh and go anyways and they get impressed that my baby Jeep, or my toaster Jeep can go everywhere the wranglers can go. Obviously not meant to rock crawl but off-road is easy for it.

Thanks for the comparison with Subaru, that was really interesting! I always liked the Subs but love the little Renegade very much (looks much better imo).

My wife has a Renegade Sport Upland, which has most of the TH capability without all the expensive crap. We test drove a Crosstrek when shopping for the jeep and found driving the CVT painfully boring. They also have issues with burning those CVTs up driving on hills or more difficult off-road situations. The Renegade has it's issues, but I found it to be a lot more fun and capable.

Is there a big deferent between trailhawk and limited in suspension system And Thank you for this video Iam really injoyed

Test drive a base model bronco sport and renegade trail hawk. The bronco sport was 29000 and did not come with much. The renegade was loaded with everything. I ended up getting the trail hawk and couldn't be happier. To get the same features in the bronco sport you would have to spend 38000. I was able to get my renegade for 27000.

I have a 2015 Renegade Latitude. For me, I wanted something with decent gas mileage (averaging around 27/28mpg), more room than a sedan, 4x4 (great for PA winters) and a manual transmission (more of a want than a need). My Renegade hit all of the marks for me. It has some electronic issues, nothing major, but I can't seem to keep my brakelight on. All in all, I love it.

I have a 2018 Trailhawk w/2.4L. Ive driven it almost everywhere Ive taken my Polaris RZR, and its handled everything like a champ. The Colorado Rockies roads/trails I frequent are a lot more aggressive than anything in this video. Ive plowed through 2 feet of snow, and crossed streams up to 16” deep. I haven’t modified anything on my “Baby Jeep”, and I don’t intend to. It’s a remarkable little SUV on and off road. I average a combined 27mpg, and its nice to only pay $25 or so to fill it up. It’s not the most powerful vehicle in the world, and you have to plan ahead to pass someone on 2 lane mountain roads. I wouldn’t recommend the Renegade to anyone with more than 2 children over 9 or 10 years old unless your making short trips around town. Honestly, the back seat leg room is lacking. For my girlfriend, my small dog, and I, it’s perfect even on long drives. As far as cost, mine had a sticker price of $31,900.00, but I waited, for sales and discounts. I payed $26,500 including the extended warranty, and a couple other things. If you like the vehicle, wait until you can get serious discounts on it. Full honesty, I love my “Baby Jeep”, and it has some great perks, but it’s not worth the $37,000.00 sticker price they are asking for!!!!

In order to do a proper 0-62Mph timing, you'll need to put her in manual and shift to 1st gear. These 9-speed auto boxes start in 2nd, only going down to first in some offroad modes by default or when up against an incline.

I would be very happy to be able to go where he went with that Renegade. It sounds like he is probably paid by Subaru, it's the only way I can make sense of some of his comments. Looking through the comments I see people have found his errors in trying to make the connection to the 2 vehicles. The video footage of what the Jeep was capable of was amazing.

I got a kick out of your comment “shift by committee.” An apt description of transmission shift performance. I have the same situation with my 2015 Ram Promaster City with the 2.4 TigerShark and 9 speed automatic. All too often there is a one and two count before the movement of the gas peddle is answered by the engine and transmission.

Good test off road, thank you. In France, I saw a test : only on a stone road....bad guys !!

Renegade also has skid plates, also the lower end renegades are just missing rock mode and hill decent…so you can easily compare them to the crosstrek

is it only the trailhawk series that comes standard with 4x4? what about the 2.4L? of course the 2020 version probably has upgraded feature comforts and technology.... is the 1st gen a bad choice to choose from?

My 2015 Renegade goes 0-60 in roughly 16 seconds if I'm flooring it. So seeing a renegade 5 years later being able to do it in nearly half the time is a big plus right out of the gate, along with all of the other standard features it seems that they have added.

Never considered buying a Renegade for personal use. Too small.

I got rid of my 2016 Renegade Trailhawk because it was eating a quart of oil every other month. Bought a 2020 gladiator and have zero regrets 🤪

These little Jeeps are awesome. I have a Wrangler JK and my wife has a 2018 Renegade. We have mods on both. These little Jeeps can do way more then what was shown in this video. Renegades have also gotten a Jeep culture all their own. There are tons of Renegade Face Book group pages. renegades are showing up at all the trail rides and holding their own. I have even seen one perform a rescue by pulling out a Toyota FJ. It started out as a joke and then a question of can it do it. IT did. There is a video floating around somewhere. It was at Uwharrie in NC.

If you reverse calculate the break over angle to determine mid vehicle clearance you can figure out that the Subaru Crosstrek is going to be 9.1 in off the ground mid vehicle. The Renegade Trailhawk however, is 11.55 inches off the ground mid vehicle. It has to be to achieve the break over angle that it has of about 25 degrees. You can use wheelbase and breakover angle to find mid vehicle height. What this means is that on the Subaru the suspension arms are more flush with the bottom of the vehicle and on the Renegade they're going to droop down more ... And then that's where that 8.7 in number is coming from is the bottom of the suspension arms which is really almost tire size dependent. So for perspective the Wrangler Rubicon extreme Recon is 12.9 in to the differential with 35 inch tires . To the same place on that Renegade it's going to be about 11.5 inches , maybe 11 in the front. So you're only 2 in lower than a Wrangler with 35s... 200 bucks will probably get you a 2-in lift and bring the center clearance of that Renegade to the same as a Wrangler with 35s... It's crazy stuff but when you do the math you'll be surprised... With just a 2-in lift on my Cherokee Trailhawk and 30.6-in tires I'm beating the breakover angle of a Wrangler Rubicon extreme Recon that has 35 inch tires. With just a simple lift I'm 40° front and rear and then I'm 28° break over. When you put a Cherokee Trailhawk at about the same height as the Wrangler you get almost the same angles actually. You'll get better break over and you'll get almost as good approach and departure.... Kind of surprising but it's true. I'm actually 14 in to my rock sliders with a 2 inch lift and only a half inch lift from the tires... But if you read the spec sheet it's going to say 8.7 in because that's to the suspension arm... And then with the bigger tires it's going to be 9.2... but I'm 14 in to my rock sliders.... Other than the Renegade having better angles and clearance I would agree with you that the Subaru is probably pretty close. Cherokee Trailhawk... No... It will kill a Subaru... No contest.

With my 2017 DesertHawk I found that if you stomp on the gas then quickly release and then ease into it that it picks up faster. Probably not the healthiest thing to do since it will jerk the car forward.

Why dont I see those red hooks on new Trailhawk models? EVen diesel ones after 2018? Did they like removed them in Europe?

You forgot to discuss the skid plates on the Renegade vs the Cross trek which I suspect does not have skid plates when going off road.

If I was in charge of that I'd probably go ahead and raise the ground clearance them extra few points to 9 inches. A nice even number. Not sure how much difference that would make offroad. But I doubt it would hurt.Maybe see about another 20 ponies under the hood and something about the low end. Although admittedly you don't really need a particularly fast vehicle for offroad. But you might like the extra pep on the way to the trail,or in your daily driving. A young guy I go to Church with got a Renegade ( I think Latitude trim) to drive to work and back a few years ago. He seems to really like it. I guess it gets good fuel economy and handles bad weather good. If memory serves he said his drive to work was around 45 minutes. He got his wife a Journey. I'm curious as to what they got planned now that they got a 4th kid on the way.

do you air down on your off road tests at all?

I had 2015 renagade trailhawk with 2 litre diesel 8 speed auto great machine 50+ mpg but here in northern ireland the snowflakes don't allow jeep to fit front tow hooks just in case if you knock them down the hooks would injure them ?? And no spare because it increases emissions ?? Now the 2023 is a tiny one litre plug in hybrid if only snowflakes would melt

My wifes renegade gets 27.7mpg. We drive about 480 miles a week. And we haven't reset that calculation in two years. Also my understanding is that when you engage 4-lock, you aren't going to transfer power front to back anymore. It works like a typical 4x4.

9:55 turbo motor is known for low end torque its just that it has the wrong setup i mean what can you expect in a 1.3 and turbocharger? It is more of a small car engine rather than a compact suv.

I want one again. I miss it, my Rubicon is my baby but I miss my Reni

This should be a great little car when FCA puts the electrified drive train in it, 4xe. There is a 2020 Renegade Trailhawk near me in Georgia, similar equipment, for $26,377.

I really liked this review, heading off onto a road that you've never been on and conquering it with no problem. The Trailhawk did a real good job for what it is but I'd still prefer the Subaru. My sister had (emphasis on HAD) one of these Jeeps when they first came out. She needed it for snowy situations because she works at a ski mountain here in Maine and the road up to the mountain is pretty steep, it's paved but steep. It did what she need it to do for about 25k miles and then it died one day. After getting a $2500 wiring harness put in it was fixed, but then wheel bearings started to go and then suspension bushings. She finally got rid of it at four years old with 36k miles on it and she finally listened to me and bought a trouble free Subaru.

Does anyone know the max towing capability? I have a small boat/kayak trailer....does not weigh much but just curious...my dodge Dakota is getting old and looking to get a new vehicle soon

If you want torque, you need to test the european version with the 2.0 turbodiesel 170hp, like mine... I'm italian

Our Renegade produced in Brazil has an 2.0 litre turbodiesel too.

Dam! I wish they sold the diesel here in the US. Trade out my 2016 renegade trailhawk tomorrow for the diesel

@Pedro Areias I have an average of 14 km/L (we use metric system) because where I live it's a mountain territory full of hills

So the roof panels have to left at home I guess and what if Yu get stuck In Rain?!

I like that the average Joe can have a KZread channel

Now for the final test .... Reliability

9:23 It would be super cool if you could get OBD telemetry / other data from the cars you test, to show what's happening behind the scenes!

"Turbo motors don't have a lot of low end torque." What?...that discredited the entire video for me.

Well not all of em but since it’s such a small 4 cyl, it doesn’t have great torque. I heard that too and was confused cause you can turbo any motor so I think he was just talkin about this motor specifically

I think he was referring to turbo lag.

It's an old guy thing. I also have "old guy turbo prejudice" and have a nearly hardwired saying in my head that goes "superchargers are awesome for low end grunt while turbochargers are great for high rev horsepower." Apparently, modern turbos can (and are being) designed to allow for the turbo lag at low RPM's to be much less than it was in "ye-olden-days."

All new turbo 4 cylinders basically deliver all there power way down low

You should review the Mazda CX-5 !! I just put a 2 inch lift, and 18” rims with cooper adventure at’s.

Wait! 8.5 seconds _WITH_ the turbo on the Trailhawk, 0-60mph. The Renegade (same model year) in the base trim *WITHOUT* the turbo is 9 seconds. How massively heavy are all those electronic extras on that Trailhawk that performance is reduced by so much, even with a turbo attached?

As a renegade owner with the turbo, I really think it is just the transmission holding it back. I’ve noticed if you ease into 1st gear instead of slamming the gas, the turbo is peppier and a lot quicker… but that number could be lowered. What’s really important is that torque to pull yourself out of being stuck vs no turbo

when are you getting a wrangler to test drive
