Geneva Show 2014: Renegade Is Anything But Rough And Ready

DON’T be put off by the size of Jeep’s latest offering, as its new Renegade might be small but it’s claimed to be just as capable as its larger stablemates.

With Jeep now part of the Fiat family, it’s no surprise to learn that the Renegade is based on the Italian firm’s 500L.

The diminutive Renegade is, however, expected to remain true to the Jeep brand thanks to off-road versions complete with all-wheel drive, skid plates and raised ride height.

For everyone else – including trendy urbanites – the Renegade can be had in front-wheel drive and equipped with manual or auto gearboxes. Both petrol and diesel engines will be available.
