JEEP RENEGADE (2015-present)

Affordable used, but make sure it fits your space and weight requirements, writes Euan Doig

THE JEEP RENEGADE was the company's attempt to jump on the SUV bandwagon, admittedly much later than others.

And typically, Jeep did things its own way by creating a vehicle that had a much sharper focus on off-road ability than on-road luxury as has been the case with most of the brand's cars.

It must have got something right, because you can still buy a new example from Jeep dealers today.

So, does this emphasis on rugged, mountain-climbing ability ahead of everyday comfort make it a good choice for tow car buyers? Well, yes... and no.

What's it like inside?

When it comes to interior space, the Jeep Renegade is very much a mixed bag.

Those up front get the better end of the deal, with a fair amount of headroom and legroom. The front seats are wide and comfortable, too, although they could do with offering more support when going around corners.
