Pricing for the all-new Jeep Renegade small SUV has just been announced by Fiat Group Automobiles UK. Order books for this exciting new addition to the Jeep range will open on 6 January 2015, ahead of its arrival mid-February.
With a starting price of just £16,995 OTR for the front-wheel drive 1.6-litre eTorq Evo 110hp Sport, the new car, which goes on sale in the UK early next year, represents outstanding value for money.
At the top end of the exciting, all-new Renegade range, the highly specified 2.0-litre MJet 170hp 4WD Auto Low Trailhawk version costs £27,995 OTR, and features 17-inch aluminium wheels, dual zone climate control, transfer case, front suspension and fuel tank skid plates, heated front seats and steering wheel, leather upholstery and rear parking sensors.
A special ‘Opening Edition’ version, limited to just 200 units will also be available at launch in Alpine White or Omaha Orange, both incorporating a black painted roof and with a unique interior and 18-inch wheels.
The all-new Jeep Renegade is the first model in the brand’s history to be built in Italy and the first vehicle from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to be jointly developed by Italian and American designers and engineers. It will be sold in more than 100 countries including the United States.
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 4×4 systems incorporate a category-exclusive rear axle disconnect that switches seamlessly between two- and four-wheel-drive for reduced energy loss when 4×4 capability isn’t needed, improving fuel efficiency in the process. And the first-in-segment 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-to-segment ‘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 17-inch 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.
“It’s exactly what the Jeep brand needs now and certainly, we have seen a huge interest in this exciting new car. Jeep is the original ‘Go Anywhere, Do Anything’ brand, and we are confident that we can offer great cars at exceptional value to keep Renegade at the front of all prospective buyers’ minds.”
