Trailhawk rides nearly an inch higher and has a black decal on the hood. The Renegade performed very well in the snow. Winter tires would improve performance further.
Renegade's chunky upright styling is more appropriate for a Jeep than the Cherokee's sleeker shape The Fiat 500X is similar under the skin, but you'd never guess this from looking at it. Euro look.
Not pretty? It's not supposed to be pretty. Good ground clearance even in the Latitude. There's a lot of Jeep in the tail lamps.
The Renegade Trailhawk could have handled a much more challenging trail. The driver, maybe not. Two big holes in the roof with the panels removed.
Why light gray instead of sand cloth? Perhaps for maximum contrast with brown and orange. Too much? A Renegade Trailhawk with the black and red interior.
The styling of the closely related Fiat 500X differs as much inside as outside. Mostly quality materials and solid construction.
Mostly well-designed controls. But the touchscreen should be higher, as in the Fiat 500X. The cloth driver seat could be firmer for my taste, but comfortable and 4-way lumbar support.
The light gray fabric is my least favorite part of the Renegade's brown interior option. Rear seat room is about average. Tall people up front would reduce legroom further.
The cargo floor can be set at two heights. Low position here. Storage beneath it in high position. The roof panels fits into a bag that stows behind the seat with the floor in its high position.
Cargo volume is about average for the class. The related Fiat 500X can't hold as much. The 180-horsepower 2.4-liter engine delivers acceptable performance but subpar fuel economy.
