PIMS 2016: JeeP Charts a New Path WitH Renegade [w/ Specs]

Best known for the iconic Wrangler, Jeep is now entered into the small crossover segment with Renegade. First introduced to the Philippine market through a considerable role as Bruce Wayne car fled in the early Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Renegade actually wrap capable off-road package in cute looking exterior.

Actually built alongside the sister car, the Fiat 500X in Italy (as opposed to the US), the Philippine market specifications of Renegade features a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder motor. Thanks to the trademark Multiair system, which replaces the traditional throttle valve with electro-hydraulic system to precisely control the intake of air through the valve inlet, producing 168 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Mated to a 9-speed automatic, it is poised to become one of the most fuel-efficient, yet fresh choice in this segment. It also comes with an intelligent 4x4 system that can provide up to 100 percent of available torque to each wheel machine 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.
