if I cover the name do you have any idea what this is I'll bet not it's a whole new idea for Jeep they're moving into the subcompact crossovers going after cars like Kia Soul and Nissan Juke sorry different for them with this the 2015 renegade now if you look at this and sneer and say oh what a cute little urban vehicle simmer down for a second this is gonna be available in full on trail rated version with a very advanced four-wheel-drive system it can send 100% of power to anyone wheel but normally the rear ends gonna freewheel for fuel economy but kick back in instantaneously when you need four-wheel drive on demand the underpinnings are loosely based on the Fiat 500l this vehicles actually made in a plant in Melfi Italy they just spent 1.3 billion dollars bringing online this is telling you that this is a major push by Chrysler Fiat and on global scale two engines a 1.4 liter inline 4 turbo that I did tested on the Dodge Dart 168 horsepower or a 2.4 liter inline-4 doing 184 horsepower 6-speed manual now inside the new renegade it's a combination of improved technology and wash it out with a hose rugged it's kind of a weird mixed message but that's the Jeep thing and you also find you've got a pretty good sized instrument panel LCD between a couple of analog gauges here's a you connect head unit that's of course pretty premium stuff in the Chrysler world and these guys always done a very good job of having all the mainstream digital media sources in their vehicle that's been a Christman strong point now over heads interesting you might see what you think our dual Sun roofs or a panoramic sunroof these are dual pop-out roof panels I'm not sure if that's gonna fly as being a differentiator or just a pain in the ass now this goes on sale fall of 2014 as I mentioned a lot of markets around the world it's more than it's a global effort in terms of volume it's also interesting mix up urban size and style with serious off-road cred should you equip it properly I don't think anyone's have really done that combination before should be interesting to see how it does you
