2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk test drive video

The new 2015 Jeep Renegade, the new small SUV, now make its debut before its market launch across the EMEA region starting end of September. Two new, advanced 4x4 systems - Jeep Active Drive and Jeep Active Drive Low - incorporate a category-exclusive rear axle disconnect system that seamlessly switches between two- and four-wheel-drive for reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn't needed and improving fuel efficiency.
The Jeep Renegade engine range available in EMEA offers a choice of twelve powertrain combinations designed to suit the needs of the markets in the region. It includes the 140 horsepower 1.4-liter MultiAir2 Turbo petrol engine with Stop&Start and 4x2 configuration featuring both six-speed manual gearbox and DDCT (dual dry clutch transmission); the 170 horsepower 1.4-liter MultiAir2 Turbo petrol engine with Stop&Start, nine-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 configuration; the 120 horsepower 1.6-liter diesel MultiJet II with Stop&Start, six-speed manual gearbox and 4x2 configuration; the 120 horsepower or 140 horsepower 2.0-liter diesel MultiJet II with Stop&Start, six-speed manual transmission and 4x4 configuration; the 140 and 170 horsepower 2.0-liter diesel MultiJet II with Stop&Start, nine-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 configuration, the 110 horsepower 1.6-liter E.torQ petrol engine with Stop&Start, five-speed manual gearbox and 4x2 configuration and the 185 horsepower 2.4-liter "Tigershark" MultiAir, with nine-speed automatic transmission, 4x2 and 4x4 configurations (available in Russia, the Middle East and South Africa).

The all new Renegade features two all new four-wheel drive configurations. Best-in-class approach and departure angles and two 4x4 systems - 'Jeep Active Drive' and 'Jeep Active Drive Low' - the latter, thanks to a specific mapping of the gear ratios and the combination with Hill Descent Control function and "Low", provides an off-road behavior that place the Renegade at the top of its category and offers the legendary off-road capability of the Jeep brand. Both systems supply the proper amount of torque for any driving situation providing enhanced safety in slippery conditions such as rain and snow, as well as optimal traction on aggressive starts..
The Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low systems are combined with the Jeep Selec-Terrain traction control system with four settings (five for the Trailhawk model, which adds the Rock mode to Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud) that ensures the desired on- or off-road setting for optimum performance on any surface. With independent-wheel suspensions able to guarantee a maximum wheel articulation up to 205 mm and a ground clearance of up to 210 mm for the Trailhawk model, Jeep Renegade sets new standards in the Small SUV segment and offers best-in-class 4x4 capability.
