Or, to be fair, maybe they are waiting for the mass produced version of the 1.5T to get out of development and testing.Yeah their priorities are really odd. The one thing no one ever answers is, if it's the crack management team here that says, let's keep the 2.4 around because we don't want to spend much on the lower Fiat based Jeeps, or something else.
If they would just add a keyfob button for hatch release and raise that would be great...Ugh the Traverse has that and I hate it, primarily because you have to bend down so far to lift it.
I just bought one. I have accidentally armed the car instead of opening the hatch. LolUnsure, it was for sure harder for someone to find if they were renting one or just bought one. Looked so clean though View attachment 85593
I had two open tabs, and kept flipping between the two. There aren’t huge differences, but that’s nothing that replacing the vehicle with a new model couldn’t fix. Lol. Isn’t it due for a replacement, it feels like it’s been around forever, and not in a good way?Someone needs to post an A/B of the old and new picture because I can't tell the difference.
Its simple the middle of the latch is the release and the bump on the right side is the lock button !I just bought one. I have accidentally armed the car instead of opening the hatch. Lol

I must admit I‘ve never been a fan of Renegade, it’s my least favorite Jeep, the styling is cartoonish IMO. No offense to anyone here who owns one, or just purchased one (as I now take my foot out of my mouth).
I think the 1.5l is coming out here shortly in the Alfa Tonale then it will filter down to the Compass and Renegades.Or, to be fair, maybe they are waiting for the mass produced version of the 1.5T to get out of development and testing.
It may have a little something to do with defending the company's market position in Brazil.
FCA doesn't exist. The US and Europe are huge profit centers for Stellantis, Brazil/LATAM is inconsequential in comparison. They need to pay more attention to the US and less attention to meaningless bragging rights that don't matter outside of LATAM.South America is a big profit center for FCA, along with the North American market. Europe is a drain on FCA, except for the one plant in Poland that makes everything not to be confused with the 6 plants in Italy that make 5 cars. Sorry don’t know enough about Peugeot and their factories and output
The 1.3T is the replacement for the 2.4. The 1.5T (200 HP) is the upgraded engine that the 1.3T (177 HP) never was.Or, to be fair, maybe they are waiting for the mass produced version of the 1.5T to get out of development and testing.
She's a keeper!Wife wanted to test drive them, said they were cute. After she drove it, she was no longer interested and I never loved her more.
The general consensus seems to be it's "too expensive" to allow a manual on anything but high end sports cars though I'm still pretty sure you can still get a stickshift base Corolla lol.can i get one in "trackhawk" with 2.4T and 6 speed
I love my old Mopars, but I've been displeased with my Chryslers over the long run since the 99' Intrepid. They're just costing me too much money and time in what are in my opinion very unnecessary breakdowns. I wish I could say differently. Maybe I don't have the money to buy their "good stuff" but even if I did, the last 20 years of laying under them doesn't give me the confidence to borrow $60,000+ for another one.You can get a stickshift Corolla, not a base model, nicely equipped. I thought about it, but it's a bit underpowered and dealers refuse to order any, so there's no test drive. I'm still driving the 1.4T Dart. (I did test a Civic Si which I probably should have switched to, and a Kia which was surprisingly good, but not better enough than the Dart to be worth the money for me personally.)
I'm generally Chrysler loyal, as our home fleet shows, but they don't sell a small car with a stick any more.
I understand it though I don't practice it. I will admit Chrysler's recent attitude towards replacement parts has me worried about our other cars.I gave up on brand loyalty a long time ago. I'm as loyal to Chrysler (or any other company including my employer) as they are to me. You probably know how much that is 😉
I love my Voyager but it was my first car, and my parents had a Grand Voyager. But I understand why people swoon over Toyotas and Hondas. The Chrysler vehicles require you maintain them and on occasion replace major components. I got my Voyager with 130,000 miles and now its over 300,000 but there's been a lot of work done to it. By 130,000 it was on its 2nd compressor, its had carb swaps, trans swaps, numerous more compressor swaps, and pretty much all the bushings replaced. Now much of that is the car going from 20 years old to 40 years old, and 170,000 miles of driving. And it being my first car, I'd accepted that's what people did to their cars because my peers with Honda and Mitsu's were under their cars too.I love my old Mopars, but I've been displeased with my Chryslers over the long run since the 99' Intrepid.
