New Jeep Renegade 2014 - pictures

The Jeep Renegade is Jeep’s smallest ever model, designed to bring true off-road ability to the trendy crossover class.

<p class="p1">The Renegade’s brand heritage, genuine off-road ability and stand-out looks set it apart in such a competitive class.</p>

<p class="p1">Inside, Jeep squeezes in even more character touches. The Jeep ‘face’ of round headlights and the seven-slot grille is emobossed into the rear-view mirror, speaker surrounds, and the tailgate. There is even a mud splatter

<p class="p1">You can choose from a 1.4-litre petrol, a 1.6-litre turbodiesel and two 2.0-litre turbodiesels with either 138bhp or 168bhp.</p>

<p class="p1">The Jeep's boxy shape means interior space is a strong suit. The doors open outwards seventy degrees at the front and eighty degrees at the rear for easy access.</p>

<p class="p1">Venture off-road and you’ll discover the most capable all-terrain vehicle in the compact crossover class.</p>

<p class="p1">The Jeep comes in five trim levels: Sport, Longitude, Limited, Opening Edition and Trailhawk.</p>

<p class="p1">Trailhawk models have a more utilitarian feel inside thanks to rubber mats instead of carpets in the footwells.</p>

<p class="p1">On road the steering is numb, the engines unremarkable, and overall the Renegade, while competent, can't match its rivals for fun.</p>

<p class="p1">The infotainment system centres around a 6.5-inch touchscreen sourced from Fiat and&nbsp;<span class="s1">Alfa Romeo</span>&nbsp;models.</p>

<p class="p1">Jeep claims the 1.6 MultiJet diesel will return 54mpg, while the best petrol version, the 1.4 turbo MultiAir, is good for up to 47.1mpg.</p>

<p class="p1">The boot offers a competitive 351 litres with the seats up, and up to 1,297 litres with them folded.</p>

<p class="p1">The Renegade combines the sophisticated looks of the&nbsp;<span class="s1">Grand Cherokee</span>&nbsp;with the rugged appeal of the classic&nbsp;<span class="s1">Wrangler</span>.</p>

<p class="p1">The Renenagde Trailhawk, with its chunkier tyres, has the best ride of the bunch.&nbsp;</p>
