2015 Jeep Renegade Leak

Rumours have been circling for some time about the existence of a baby Jeep, designed and built in Italy for the more style-conscious European market. Feast your unsuspecting eyeballs on the first pictures of the smallest Jeep ever made, dubbed Renegade.

Based on the chunky little Fiat 500L which Shahzad tested last month, the Renegade is expected to pack an offroad-tuned version of Fiat’s 1.4-litre turbo-four, mated to either six-speed manuals or dual clutch auto boxes, as seen on the Guiletta. On paper it doesn’t look as tough as its more storied brothers, but there is a trail rated badge at the base of the A-pillar so it’ll be able to scamper on beaches and grass pretty well, we reckon.

Size-wise, it’s in the same mini-CUV segment as the Nissan Juke, though a step up from the likes of the Ford EcoSport. If it’s approved for sale in this region, expect to see it here at the close of the year or Q1 2015.
