The 2025 Jeep Renegade is a suv that earns a Carivo score of 7.3/10 â rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.2/10, while Performance at 6.7/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional suv â stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability is a concern at 6.8/10 â below the segment average. Owner data and service history suggest higher-than-expected maintenance needs. Factor this into your total cost of ownership calculation before buying. Safety lands at 8.2/10 â solid scores across crash testing with a reasonable standard safety package, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard.
Performance at 6.7/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin â don't overlook it. Technology scores 6.9/10 â the infotainment and driver-assist features feel dated against current-generation rivals. This is worth weighing if you prioritize connected features or modern safety tech.
Priced from $24,205â$28,478, 29 MPG, seating 5, the Jeep Renegade sits in the budget-friendly tier of the suv market. At 7.9/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Our take: The 2025 Jeep Renegade is a passable suv but not a standout one. Weaknesses in technology and reliability and performance hold it back from being a strong recommendation. It may suit buyers with specific needs it serves well, but we'd encourage comparing at least two or three higher-scored alternatives before deciding.
