Used Jeep Renegade: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Jeep Renegade from 2015 to 2023: what each year typically sells for (about $9,500 to $24,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2019–2023. Look harder at or skip 2015–2018.
2015–2023 Jeep Renegade
A quirky, boxy small SUV with plenty of headroom and real off-road ability in Trailhawk form.
Years to target: 2019–2023. Look harder at or skip: 2015–2018. It has a below-average reliability record.

Worth knowing
- 2015: owner complaints spike (511, mostly the transmission).
- 2016: owner complaints spike (429, mostly the engine).
- 2017: owner complaints spike (564, mostly the engine).
- 2018: owner complaints spike (442, mostly the engine).
- Reliability trails the class, and the nine-speed automatic can shift roughly. The 2.4-liter engine can burn oil, so check the level.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Latitude: it adds keyless entry, a touchscreen and available heated seats over the Sport. Choose 2019 or newer for the refreshed cabin and Apple CarPlay.
