2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude

The Renegade is Jeep's smallest SUV, a boxy little ute that brings some Wrangler attitude to the city. It rides high with a commanding view, and the Trailhawk trim adds real off-road chops for a subcompact. Inside, the cabin feels playful with lots of cubbies, but rear legroom is tight for adults. Owners report some trim pieces that can come loose, though most issues get fixed under warranty. Extra features like the leather-wrapped steering wheel and the 5.0-inch touchscreen set the Latitude apart from the Sport trim below it. This one has the 2.4L I4 making 184 horsepower, a six-speed manual, and front-wheel drive, which keeps it light on its feet around town. The Latitude comes with a tire service kit instead of a spare, so you'll want to budget for a donut if you drive far from pavement.
