Jeep Renegade Images Leaked Ahead Of Geneva Reveal

This here folks is the first leaked images of the upcoming compact SUV from Jeep. It's reportedly called the Renegade and will be seen for the first time on the show floor in Geneva.
Though Jeep Renegade clearly looks like a compact off-roader, it will be a rival to soft off-roaders or crossovers such as the Nissan Juke. Jeep Renegade will also be the model that will provide many customers an easy entry into the Jeep brand in emerging markets such as India.
Both the upcoming Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X crossover are built on the same platform, the new Fiat-Chrysler group's Small Wide platform architecture.
According to Jalopnik, which is also the source of these leaked shots, the Renegade is trail rated, which means this vehicle is a full-fledged off-roade
Jeep Renegade's boxy design & compact size may not be to everyone's liking, but the trademark front grille design, the flared wheel arches, raised ride height leave no doubt that this is a classic Jeep. Also notice the twin ‘sky roofs'.
Though there's no official confirmation, Jeep Renegade is also likely to get Fiat's 1.4 liter turbo petrol, the 1.3 liter turbo diesel and perhaps even the 0.9 liter TwinAir turbo petrol engine.
Jeep Renegade will be launched in 2015

Jeep Renegade spotted in the flesh

The Jeep Renegade a.k.a the baby Jeep has been spotted in the flesh in Michigan, USA. The compact SUV believed to be in pre-production form was unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and is expected to go into production next year. It shares a platform with the Fiat 500X which may be launched sometime next year.

The Jeep Renegade is based on the American automaker’s Small Wide platform architecture and is their new vehicle for the entry-level segment. It is believed that the compact SUV has been created keeping newer markets like India, South Africa and Malaysia in mind.

The test car that has been spotted here is a manual variant and appears to have a lower ground clearance than the concept vehicle but we believe that this is due to some black coloured camouflage covering under body components like the suspension setup and most probably a four-wheel-drive system. It also has white coloured mirrors which appear to have taped off sections which we believe are the mirror mounted OVRMs.

The Jeep Renegade will reach the Indian market by the middle of next year and is likely to be offered with both petrol and diesel engines. It will be joined by the Fiat 500X a few months later sporting the same configuration but with a different body style.

Jeep Renegade begins arriving in the Middle East

The first lot of Jeep Renegades have begun arriving in the Middle Eastern market. The spyshots below have surfaced from the sea port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Jeep has temporarily halted deliveries of the Renegade due to a software issue with the 9-speed automatic transmission so the initial stock arrived could be the only units shipped from Italy, until Jeep irons out the glitch.

Unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the boxy compact crossover will be offered with a 1.4-liter Turbo engine that delivers 160 hp and 250 Nm peak torque through a 9-speed automatic transmission. The top end variant gets Trail Rated capability with Jeep Active Drive Low 4×4 system.
Design wise, it draws plenty of cues from bigger Jeeps, and sticks to the Wrangler’s familiar boxy shape. It features the signature seven-slot grille and a high ground clearance, which improves its off-road character.

Sadly, the Indian market will not be getting the Jeep Renegade for now, despite the fact that Fiat India is paving the way for Jeep’s arrival into the country.
