Question:
Hello, will the outway platform fit on my jeep renegade?

I may have a solution for you but unfortunately the Thule OutWay # TH65JV is not confirmed to fit your 2015 Jeep Renegade.
Instead I recommend adding a trailer hitch receiver to the Renegade and using a hitch mounted bike rack. Hitch mounted racks are generally better for the vehicle since they aren't resting right against it. Especially when you factor in the weight of bikes and a carrier as heavy as the OutWay Platform.
A Class III hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76021 will be best because the 2 inch receiver gives you more options for bike racks than a 1-1/4 inch hitch will. I've linked an install video on a Renegade for you.
Then for a bike rack I recommend the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. It's a platform rack that'll hold 2 bikes up to 60 pounds each. I like the Freedom because it has a lot of variety of frame styles that it holds as well as it how light it is. I linked a video on the bike rack as well.
