Now I know you do not care for jeeps, I am 21 with no credit score and got into a recent car accident, gas prices have gone up, my last car only had liability. Next car will have to be fully covered. I am looking for a suv with low mileage, and is small yet can still fit luggage if I need to move. Do you have any information on the 2018 Jeep Renegade?

One of the worst car in the world, it's just a Fiat 500X with a bodykit.
(If you REALLLLLY want that absolute money pit, just get the version with the Fiat badge, they're worth half)
Although I can't find it, I remember a forum member's relative buying two and he had posted a full list of the issues they have had with them since new - there was a lot.
Everything is going to breakdown, even things you never knew could.
Looking online, people want almost the price of a new Corolla for those piles of garbage!
Imagine paying the price of a brand new Corolla for a 6 year old Fiat nightmare...
If you want a good small SUV, get a Toyota C-HR (Although they aren't built in Japan - but at least they aren't "domestic") - or save up a bit and go for the Corolla Cross.
(In the case of the Renegade it's a pure breed Italian.)
Also might be interesting, https://carkiller.com/scottykilmer/postid/220873/ a forum members experience with a Corolla built in the US - I've asked a lot of people and not a single one had such a bad experience with one built in Japan or even Turkey - so I'd go that route.

Then you should be looking at a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4..
I’m not sure if a HR-V or C-HR is big enough to allow you to move house.
I get what you’re saying about prices. But the repair costs you can expect on a 4 year old renegade will likely offset the discount on sales price.
Im trying to think of some alternatives that might hold up better, or would be more worth repairing if something does break:
Honda element: has the same boxy form factor
Subaru Crosstrek: same outdoorsy vibe, but more durable; DIY repairs are cheap and easy
1st gen Toyota Venza: prices are going up, but they are forever cars
1st gen Jeep Cherokee: only if you don’t drive a lot of miles and can find one that hasn’t been modified. These are fully depreciated and you are likely to get all your money back if you decide you don’t like it
Jeep TJ: it’s a Jeep thing. You know the rest
