Jeep recently unveiled the 2015 Renegade at the Geneva Motor Show, so X-Tomi Design has created a rendering of an SRT variant.
Drawing cues from the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8,
the Renegade has an aggressive front bumper with black accents and
metallic air intake surrounds. The crossover also has a blacked out
grille, body-color side skirts and sporty alloy wheels.
Unfortunately, we're not getting our hopes up for a production variant as SRT CEO Ralph Gilles has previously said
four-cylinder engines are in their long-terms plans but they're
currently "in between great engines" so "there’s nothing available right
now."
Depending on the market, the new baby Jeep is going to be sold with
no less than 16 powertrain combinations encompassing four MultiAir
gasoline motors, two MultiJet II diesel units and a flex-fuel E.torQ
engine coupled to two manual gearboxes, one dual-clutch DDCT and the
aforementioned nine-speed auto 'box.
On the inside there will be an Uconnect infotainment system with a 5
or 6.5-inch touchscreen display offering a wide array of technological
goodies such as Bluetooth, DAB and HD radio, Sirius services, USB &
AUX, as well as digital media broadcasting. In addition, the driver gets
to play around with a 7-inch color multi-view reconfigurable display
acting as the instrument cluster.
The radical-looking Renegade draws its styling inspiration from the
bigger Wrangler but Jeep says it also represents a throwback to the
original military jeep with its boxy shape, seven-slot vertical front
grille and a high ground clearance. It has a somewhat low drag
coefficient of 0.36 and will be offered in a trail-rated variant called Trail-hawk 4x4 with 17-inch all-terrain tires and a Select-Terrain system.
Jeep will also offer two open-air roof panel systems called My Sky
while Moper has already created a full suite of accessories to spice up
the 2015 Renegade, from roof boxes and air deflectors to door sill
guards and a rear backup camera.
As a result, the Renegade's range-topping engine will likely be the
2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder - that produces 184 bhp (137 kW) and
177 lb-ft (236 Nm) of torque - for the foreseeable future.
