Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade wears its chunky, boxy looks like a badge of character, blending genuine off-road swagger with city-friendly manners so it feels at home on a muddy trail or a tight urban lane. Inside you'll find a surprisingly practical cabin with rugged touches and clever storage, making it a sensible choice for buyers who want a compact SUV with personality rather than just another anonymous crossover.

Mechanically the car is fairly well built, apart from the rear axle.
The air conditioning is effective and visibility is good, while the FR setup paired with the 18" wheels, in my view, hurts comfort — getting in and out can be awkward. Once on board, though, the seats are very comfortable. The infotainment is comprehensive, with a generously sized screen and full-link smartphone connectivity; the factory sat-nav does what it can, but obviously Maps is superior in every way.
All in all, a fun/sporty car that also winks at family life thanks to a roomy boot and modest fuel consumption.
