From a recent review:
"The Renegade’s Achilles heel seemed to be hillclimbs. One long, loose dirt climb stopped the Renegade cold. Even with a long run at the hill it was unable to make the climb. It felt like it had run out of gearing, but we suspect the overactive traction control and smaller tires played a part. It just sat on the hill with the engine whining and only occasional wheelspin."
What's Hot:
-Approach and departure angles
-Nimble
-Solid body structure
-Driver-seat visibility
-Simple switchgear and HVAC controls
-Fuel mileage
-Power-to-weight ratio
What's Not:
-Overactive traction control
-20:1 crawl ratio isn’t that crawly
-Needs a locker
-Sad engine sounds under load
