Jeep’s decision to compete in the compact crossover segment through creating the Renegade has let many fans worried that the company is losing its 4×4 identity. Well, this doesn’t look like happening at all as the Renegade is going to drive like a monster even if it comes with a gentle design.
Ex-Jeep’s Chief Engineer, Phil Jansen reiterated that the Renegade is never a joke. In fact, it has the tons of functions that will put the Renegade ahead of competition. Furthermore, the Renegade is confirmed to be a fuel efficient vehicle.
Then again, Phil claims that this is just a surplus for the vehicle. The producers didn’t want to focus on fuel economy much due to the difficulties in matching the specs on market dominator, the Nissan Juke.
Speaking of which, Phil confirmed that the Renegade will be super powerful as it achieved 4 trail rating. Phil also blasted the Nissan Juke, Hyundai Tucson and the Ford Escape as something that are not as capable as the Renegade is.
Those that are prematurely writing off the Renegade as a failure are making a big mistake. Phil revealed that the Renegade is the perfect definition of a Jeep. Aside from the Renegade’s stylish design and impressive fuel economy, the car also comes with Jeep’s all-terrain features that will make it a tiny off-roader that is powerful enough to even climb a mountain.
