I’ve always driven smaller cars, but now, I want to change it up and get a small SUV. Is the Jeep Renegade reliable in the long term? I don’t want to end up spending a lot of money on repairs.
is a pretty reliable car—the 2022 model received an above-average reliability rating of 4 out of 5. In other words, the Renegade should last you a long time before requiring an unscheduled repair.
When choosing a new car, reliability is only one factor to consider. Other factors to consider that will affect the total cost of ownership include:
Fuel type: What is the minimum octane grade that the car requires?
Fuel efficiency: How far can you drive on one tank of gas?
Repair and maintenance: How much does it cost to repair and maintain the car compared to other similar cars?
Known issues: What are some common issues that are reported? How frequently?
Your total cost of owning the car will also include the sale price, taxes, and the interest you will be paying for your car loan—owning a car can get expensive!
