In the UK, the new Jeep will be available in a
full-range comprising four different trim levels –
Sport, Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk –
equipped with efficient turbo-diesel and petrol
engines and available in four-wheel drive or
front-wheel drive configurations.
Packed with a strong style and personality,
and the right size for both city and countryside,
new Renegade has best-in-class interior
roominess, excellent on-road driving dynamics
and supreme off-road capabilities. It has also
just been awarded a Euro NCAP five-star safety
rating.
The car’s advanced 4x4 systems incorporate
a category-exclusive rear axle disconnect that
switches seamlessly between two- and fourwheel-drive for reduced energy loss when 4x4
capability isn’t needed, improving fuel
efficiency in the process. And the first-insegment nine-speed automatic transmission
ensures benchmark performance both on- and
off-road.
From any angle Renegade reveals the
distinctive design cues of the brand's stylistic
heritage, such as round headlamps, signature
seven-slot grille and trapezoidal wheel arches.
Two open-air roof systems will be available to
provide customers with open-air freedom: a
large electric sliding glass roof or the unique-tosegment 'My Sky' – its two panels can be
removed and stowed in the boot.
The interior features a modern, refined look,
in line with the brand's DNA. The cabin is
characterised by attention to detail, innovative
colour combinations, high-quality materials,
advanced technological contents and clever
and functional storage areas.
Standard equipment in the well-equipped
entry-level Sport includes air conditioning, DAB
radio with touchscreen and Bluetooth, electric
parking brake, 16-inch alloy wheels, tyre
pressure monitoring, and remote central
locking. Longitude adds features including 17inch aluminium wheels, six-speaker audio
system, roof rails, body coloured door mirrors
and handles, cruise control, and front fog
lamps.
Limited version further adds 18-inch
aluminium wheels, chromed exhaust tip,
Forward Collision Mitigation, heated front seats
and steering wheel, leather upholstery, privacy
glass and rear parking sensors.
“We have all been eagerly awaiting
Renegade – here at Jeep, our customers,
dealers and the media – and its arrival is now
just a few weeks away,” says Damien Dally,
head of brand, Jeep UK.
