Best known for the iconic Wrangler, Jeep is now going into the small crossover segment with the Renegade. Introduced first to the Philippine market via its sizeable role as Bruce Wayne’s escape car in the beginning of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Renegade actually packs a capable off-road package in that cutesy looking exterior.

Actually built alongside its sister car, the Fiat 500X in Italy (as opposed to the US), the Philippine market spec Renegade features a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder motor. Thanks to its trademark Multiair system, which replaces the traditional throttle valve with an electro-hydraulic system to precisely control air intake via the inlet valves, it produces 168 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Mated to a 9-speed automatic, it’s poised to be one of the most fuel-efficient, yet peppy choices in the segment. It also features an intelligent 4x4 system that can deliver up to 100 percent of the engine’s available torque to any wheel for optimal grip.



Outside, the decisively boxy styling features daytime running lights, the trademark 7-hole Jeep grille with chrome surrounds, front and rear fog lamps, and 18-inch “three-season” tires mounted on 18 x 7.0 aluminum wheels.

Inside, it features the distinctive theme of “Tek-Tonic” which is an interplay of soft, tactile forms with rugged and functional details. Major surfaces such as the sculpted soft-touch instrument panel are intersected with bold functional elements like the passenger grab handle. Apart from that, protective clamp fasteners, anodized design accents, and “X” shapes inspired by the exterior add to the Tek-Tonic look.

The 2017 Jeep Renegade Limited 4x4 is now available for a retail price of P 1,941,000.
