the renegade is all new and really small putting jeeps squarely in the urban compact crossover market but with real off-road ability especially in this top-of-the-line trailhawk edition it's hard to mistake for any other car on the outside and thanks to lots of winks and nods to its own past the same goes for the inside this six and a half inch UConnect system is a modern head unit with garmin navigation it's all touch and voice driven there's no big knob or controller to select or type things under the hood our high trim trailhawk version has the big engine and even that's only 2.4 liters and four cylinders does 180 horsepower and 175 pound feet of torque through a nine-speed automatic only average mpg is 24 in addition to blind spot technology you can also optional renegade with forward collision technology that will actively break for you and active lane departure technology that will steer you back in your lane those are unusual in this class I wish I like driving the renegade as much as I like looking at it but the powertrain is rubbery and vague surging between bursts of power and bursts of numbness an option I wish our car arrived with is this unusual sunroof it powers back like most others but you can also pop it completely out get a great big hole to the sky none up cnet style this top-of-the-line trail rated renegade trailhawk is just under 30k with its combo of jeep brand real four-wheel drive and good if Corki looks they shouldn't be sitting on the lock belong
