press before its market launch across the EMEA region starting end of September.

The all-new Jeep® Renegade expands the brand’s vehicle lineup, entering the growing Small sport-utility vehicle

(SUV) segment, while staying true to the adventurous lifestyle and 4x4 capability Jeep is known for.

Determination, skill and desire to be part of one solid team are the most important ingredients in the making of

the new Jeep Renegade, the first Fiat Chrysler Automobiles vehicle to be jointly developed by Italian and

American designers and engineers and the first model in the brand's history to be built in Italy, at the refurbished

SATA plant in Melfi (Basilicata). An all-new Jeep, resulting from the combination between the design,

functionality and off-road expertise of the U.S. brand – 73 years of freedom and 4x4 driving – and the style and

the dynamic features that are signature cues of the Italian cars all over the world.

Jeep Renegade is a model packed with a strong stylistic personality. Agile and spacious, it is perfect for errands

across town and with its off-road capabilities it is ready to explore new off-road trails. It boasts best-in-class

interior roominess, excellent on-road driving dynamics and unsurpassed off-road capabilities.

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 in the process.

The first in the segment nine-speed automatic transmission ensures benchmark performance both on and off-

road. A range of fuel-efficient engines available in five powertrain combinations make sure the new Renegade

satisfies every customer’s needs.

In South Africa, the new Jeep Renegade will be available with a full-range comprising three different trim levels -

Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk - a total of five fuel-efficient powertrain combinations and a choice of turbo

diesel and petrol engines that will be available in four-wheel drive or front wheel- drive configurations. Sales of

the new model will start in South Africa during the second half of 2015.

The engine range offering comprises one MultiAir, one E.torQ and two MultiAir II petrol engines and one MultiJet

segment nine-speed automatic transmission.

Exterior

From the start, Jeep designers knew the Renegade would need to deliver best-in-class off-road capability with

city-sized proportions while at the same time enhancing versatility, maneuverability and style. Additionally,

designers were tasked to create an all-new SUV that would symbolize the Jeep brand’s renowned American

design, as it would mark the brand’s first entry into the Small SUV segment in more than 100 markets around the

globe. Renegade had to offer the open-air freedom that dates back to its 1941 roots, with the Jeep Willys MB,

and still present today with the current Jeep Wrangler

The result is a vehicle that builds on the Jeep Wrangler’s powerful stance, and features a fresh, all-new exterior

styling that will certainly appeal to youthful and adventurous customers who recognize themselves in the well-

known Jeep design inspired by the values of freedom and adventure. The vehicle’s exterior has a purposeful look

with rugged body forms and aggressive wheel-to-body proportion. From any angle it reveals the distinctive

design cues of the brand's stylistic heritage, such as round headlights, signature seven-slot grille and trapezoidal

wheel arches. Two open-air roof systems will also be available to provide customers with open-air freedom: a

large dual pane electric sliding glass roof and the unique to segment 'My Sky'. With its two lightweight panels

that can be easily and conveniently removed and stowed in the boot, 'My Sky' introduces segment-exclusive

panoramic open air experience.

A total of seven wheel designs are available on the new Jeep Renegade. All are five-lug designs with specific

finishes ranging from 16” to 18”.

Interior

The interior features a modern, refined look, in line with the brand's DNA. The cabin is characterized by

maximum attention to detail, innovative colour combinations, high-quality materials, advanced technological

contents and clever and functional storage areas.

The interior boasts a distinctive, fresh form language, which Jeep designers have titled “Tek-Tonic.” This new

design theme is defined by the intersections of soft and 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 – indispensable for off-road adventures and borrowed from its big brother, the legendary

Jeep Wrangler. Unique “protective clamp fasteners,” anodized design accents and inspired colours are derived

from extreme sports equipment. And to make sure all of the needed passenger gear fits, the Renegade is

designed with an efficient and flexible interior package that includes a fold-forward front-passenger seat and

class-exclusive removable, reversible and height-adjustable Cargo load floor.

Engines

The Jeep Renegade engine range offers a choice of five fuel-efficient powertrain combinations designed to suit

the needs of the markets. It includes the 103 kW 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo petrol engine with Stop&Start featuring a

six-speed manual transmission and 4x2 configuration; the 125 kW 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo petrol engine with

Stop&Start, nine-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 configuration; the 88 kW 1.6l diesel MultiJet II with

Stop&Start, six-speed manual gearbox and 4x2 configuration; the 81 kW 1.6l E.torQ petrol engine with

Stop&Start, five-speed manual gearbox and 4x2 configuration and the 136 kW 2.4l “Tigershark” MultiAir, with

nine-speed automatic transmission in 4x4 configuration, exclusive to the Trailhawk derivative.

Nine-speed automatic transmission

The new Renegade introduces the first nine-speed automatic transmission in its category. When paired with

either the 125 kW 1.4l MultiAir II or the 136 kW 2.4l MultiAir Turbo engine, the nine-speed automatic

transmission delivers numerous benefits, including great acceleration, smooth power delivery and improved fuel

efficiency. The all-new, fully electronic nine-speed automatic transmission features shift-on-the-fly map changing,

with AutoStick manual shifting capability for improved fuel economy, performance and driving pleasure.

4x4 systems: ‘Jeep Active Drive’ and ‘Jeep Active Drive Low’

The all new Renegade features 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 range", provides an off-road behavior that places 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

suspension 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.

The new Jeep Renegade is also the first Small SUV to be equipped with rear axle disconnect. This system reduces

energy loss when 4x4 capability is not needed and delivers 4x2 levels of fuel efficiency. The rear-axle disconnect

seamlessly switches between two- and four-wheel drive for full-time torque management without requiring input

from the driver.

Infotainment and safety

Jeep Renegade is beyond comparison in the segment when it comes to equipment providing onboard comfort

and infotainment and offers advanced technology features. This includes the UConnect system with 5” (a

standard feature on all trim levels) or 6.5" touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth with hands free phone. The

Limited and Trailhawk versions of Jeep Renegade feature a 7” colour instrument cluster multiview display, the

largest in the segment.

Safety and security were also at the forefront in the development of the all-new Jeep Renegade offering an array

of advanced safety features, including six standard airbags, ESC with Electronic Rollover Mitigation (ERM),

Parkview rear camera, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus-and Adaptive Cruise

Control.

DESIGN

The new Jeep® Renegade offers the open-air freedom and iconic styling Jeep is known for in an all-new efficient,

trail and urban-friendly size – designed to take the growing global Small SUV segment head-on with its boxy

proportions and purposeful design elements. Inside, the Renegade features high-quality materials, useful

features and thoughtful storage to maximize versatility and capability.

From the start, Jeep designers knew the Renegade would need to deliver best-in-class off-road capability with

city-sized proportions that exuded the brand’s rugged, versatile and functional styling. Secondly, designers knew

that this new Jeep would symbolize American design and ingenuity as it marks the brand’s first entry into the

Small SUV segment in more than 100 markets around the globe. Lastly, this new Jeep must provide youthful and

adventurous customers with world-class levels of craftsmanship and efficiency and, more importantly, the open-

air freedom of the legendary Jeep Wrangler.

Exterior design

Jeep Renegade builds on the Wrangler’s powerful stance, rugged body forms and aggressive proportions that

include best-in-class approach and departure angles purposely designed to deliver best-in-class capability.

At the front, Renegade is decidedly Jeep with its signature seven-slot grille. Large circular headlights convey the

typical Jeep look to the Renegade. Below the grille, a two-piece front fascia is aerodynamically tuned and

features a body-colour upper and molded-in-colour lower.

Short overhangs, trapezoidal wheel arches and a sculptural blend of fluid shapes interrupted by strong chamfers

create Renegade’s rugged bodyside form. Inheriting Jeep Wrangler’s DNA, the Renegade features beefy tyres,

wide fender forms, and a raised belt line that recalls the icon’s half-doors. Adding to the Renegade’s

contemporary look is an optional daylight opening which harks back to the Wrangler’s classic hardtop. At the sill,

this new Jeep SUV features lower molded-in-colour accent cladding that adds protection, all while lightening the

weight of the vehicle by visually placing more painted body above the wheel centers.

Linking the side profile to the rear is the familiar Jeep shield-shape that ties in the rear windscreen and Wrangler-

like square tail-lights with black accent surround. For added detail, the tail-lights feature a new “X” form design

theme inspired by military equipment (fuel can) – exuding strength and playing on the Jeep brand’s roots.

My Sky offers open-air freedom

Just like the first Willys MB Jeep vehicles produced in 1941, the new Renegade offers open-air freedom with two

optional open-air roof systems: a large electric dual pane sliding glass roof or the unique to segment 'My Sky'.

With its two lightweight panels –front and rear - that can be easily and conveniently removed and stowed in the

rear cargo area, 'My Sky' introduces segment-exclusive panoramic open air experience with the characteristic

Renegade X” design theme.

Interior design

Jeep Renegade interior features a rugged and energetic appearance that builds upon the Jeep brand’s legendary

heritage. It’s precisely crafted details, innovative and high-quality colour and material appointments, state-of-the-

art technology, and clever storage features draw inspiration from contemporary extreme sports gear and active

lifestyles.

The Jeep Renegade interior was designed using four key principles:

• Make an emotional design impact

• Use high-quality materials with an inspired colour and materials story

• Integrate the latest state-of-the-art technologies

• Develop clever storage and intelligent use of space

When the Jeep designers began the interior design process, they started with a fresh canvas and simple design

brief: create a Small SUV that they themselves would aspire to own. This objective is strikingly apparent in the

Renegade’s dynamic lines, hand-sculpted forms, and emotional character.

Tek-Tonic design theme

The interior of the new Renegade has a distinctive form language which Jeep designers have titled “Tek-

Tonic.” The Tek-Tonic design theme is defined by the intersections of soft and 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. Indispensable for off-road adventures, the robust handle is

borrowed from its big brother, the legendary Jeep Wrangler. It cleverly integrates into the passenger air vent to

create a unique sculpted element. The unique center vent and the anodized bezel accents draw inspiration from

performance goggles and boots used in extreme sports. Unique protective clamps that surround the UConnect

touchscreens, shifter bezel, and front-door speaker bezels exude strength and precision. The clamp surrounding

the touchscreens is embossed with “Since 1941,” paying homage to the Jeep brand’s legendary history.

Jeep Renegade features a unique steering wheel with a thick rim section. Integrated audio, voice, and vehicle

controls add a new level of convenience and sophistication. For added driver’s comfort, a segment-exclusive

heated steering wheel is optionally available.

In front of the driver, the instrument cluster design includes a large analog speedometer and tachometer. For an

added sense of adventure, Renegade’s gauge cluster features a mud-splatter design graphic that originated from

one of the Jeep design team’s weekend paintball adventures. Straddling both gauges is a 3.5” monochrome

display or a state-of-the-art 7” TFT display that provides full-colour vehicle information and allows the driver to

enjoy a customized user experience. Both screens provide vehicle information and feedback through intuitive

design, all to keep the driver’s hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

The lower part of the dashboard neatly integrates climate controls, a dampened glove box and the media center

with USB, auxiliary input and 12-volt power connectivity for mobile devices. Proudly touting its Jeep design DNA

and capability is a rubberized mat in the storage compartment under the media center, molded with a

topography map of Moab, Utah – a legendary off-road spot for Jeep enthusiasts. Similar to the X-shape inspired

roof and tail-lights are the two front cup holders with the same embossed design detail that provides grip to

secure different-sized beverage containers.

The Jeep Renegade’s center console armrest is wrapped, providing a softer touch, and offers an adjustable

position for improved comfort. For added detail, the protective clamp bezel surrounds the transmission shifter

and is finished in an anodized accent colour to match the frames surrounding the climate control vents, the cup

holder and the speakers.

Passenger seats are ergonomically designed to support the contour of the body during longer journeys, and are

trimmed with premium cloth or leather. The Renegade includes a second-row 60/40-split seats, or for added

convenience, 40/20/40-split seats with cargo area pass-through is available.

In addition to its 351L of storage or 1,297L with rear seats folded flat, the vehicle features as optional equipment

a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel which can be used also to neatly stow the

removable My Sky roof panels in the lower part of the trunk. A uniquely designed Jeep My Sky roof-panel bag is

included to protect the panels and help keep the cargo area tidy. Maximizing versatility is a fold-forward front

seat that enables the new Renegade to accommodate long objects.

Following the Jeep interior design team’s philosophy for the Renegade, introduced and seen in the Jeep Grand

Cherokee and Cherokee, a new approach for colour and materials inspiration was obtained through different

lifestyle adventures and locations around the world, creating invigorating colour and material environments.

The new Jeep Renegade is available with several interior trim choices: each model of the new Jeep Renegade

includes two colour/trim combinations, with the exception of the Longitude and Limited, which offers three. The

following colour/trim options are available per model: two-tone Black/Sandstorm interior with Metal Diamond

bezel accents, monotone Black with Metal Diamond bezel accents (Longitude), two-tone Black/Sandstorm

interiors with Metal Diamond bezel accents (Longitude), two-tone Interior Bark Brown/Ski Gray with contrasting

Anodized Orange bezel accents and stitching (Longitude), monotone black leather with contrasting Ruby Red

bezel accents and stitching (Trailhawk), Black Leather (optional) with Ruby Red bezel accents and stitching

(Trailhawk), Black Premium fabric with Metal Diamond bezel accents (Limited), Black Leather (optional) with

Metal Diamond bezel accents and Beige stitching (Limited) and two-tone Bark Brown/Ski Gray Leather interiors

(optional) with Anodized Orange bezel accents and stitching (Limited).

ENGINEERING

Jeep Renegade offers a choice of two innovative driveline systems – Jeep Active Drive and Jeep Active Drive Low

– for best-in-class 4x4 capability in all driving conditions. The new model is also the first Small SUV to feature

rear-axle disconnect system delivering 4x2 levels of fuel-efficiency and instantly engaging 4x4 when traction is

needed. Both 4x4 systems incorporate rear-axle disconnect that automatically and seamlessly switch between

4x2 and 4x4 for full-time torque management and optimal traction when necessary and without requiring input

from the driver.

Jeep Active Drive

Enabled by an innovative power-transfer unit (PTU), Jeep Active Drive is fully automatic and delivers seamless

operation in and out of four-wheel drive, and at any speed. This system requires no driver intervention, delivers

yaw correction during dynamic events and improves both understeer and oversteer conditions. Jeep Active Drive

can provide up to 2,000 Nm of the engine’s available torque to the rear wheels, enabling optimal grip in low-

traction conditions. A fully variable wet clutch housed in the rear-drive module utilizes the Jeep brand’s

proprietary algorithms to provide the proper amount of torque for any driving condition, including low-traction

surfaces, aggressive starts and dynamic driving.

Jeep Active Drive Low

Jeep Active Drive Low builds on the Jeep Active Drive system and affords a 20:1 crawl ratio for genuine 4x4

capability. This system in combination with the petrol 2.4l with nine-speed transmission ensures best-in-class off-

road capability in extreme off-road driving.

Jeep Active Drive Low adds Hill-descent Control to Selec-Terrain and the Trailhawk model features the "Rock"

Selec-Terrain function to maximize wheel traction and improve grip.

Hill-descent Control (HDC) enables a smooth and controlled hill descent in rough or slippery terrain without the

driver needing to touch the brake pedal. When selected, the vehicle will descend serious grades using the ABS

brake system to control each wheel's speed to ensure optimal pace and momentum.

Jeep Selec-Terrain system

Jeep Active Drive and Active Drive Low feature the brand’s Selec-Terrain traction-control system. Selec-Terrain

allows the driver to dial in the desired on or off-road setting for optimum performance.

Up to five customized settings are offered: Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud modes, and exclusively on the Trailhawk

model’s Jeep Active Drive Low system – Rock mode. For even greater Trail Rated off-road capability, Selec-Terrain

includes Selec-Speed Control with Hill-descent Control.

With Selec-Terrain, the driver can choose between five different driving programs to achieve the best driving

experience on all terrain:

Auto (on all 4x4 Jeep Active Drive/Selec-Terrain systems) – The default mode that’s calibrated for

everyday driving. In most on-road conditions (dry and above freezing temperatures), the Auto mode

disconnects the rear driveline to ensure optimal fuel efficiency;

Snow (on all 4x4 Jeep Active Drive/Selec-Terrain systems) – The system converts to a specifically

calibrated 4WD mode and is tuned (via chassis controls and transmission calibrations) to minimize

oversteer and maximize traction;

Mud (on all 4x4 Jeep Active Drive/Selec-Terrain systems) – The system converts to a specifically

calibrated 4WD mode to maximize low-speed traction on slick muddy surfaces by providing additional

wheel slip (via specifically tuned chassis controls, differentials, and transmission ratios geared to a mud-

slick surface) ;

Sand (on all 4x4 Jeep Active Drive/Selec-Terrain systems) – The system converts to a specifically

calibrated 4WD mode to maximize low-speed traction on looser, sand covered surfaces by providing

additional wheel slip (via specifically tuned chassis controls, differentials, and transmission ratios geared

to a sand/loose particle surface) ;

Rock (on Jeep Active Drive Low/Selec-Terrain 4x4 systems) – The system includes 4WD low capability.

This mode is available only on Trailhawk models.

POWERTRAIN

Segment-first nine-speed automatic transmission

The new Jeep Renegade is the first Small SUV to feature a nine-speed automatic transmission and is fitted to the

125 kW 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo engine and on the 2.4l Tigershark MultiAir petrol engine of the Renegade range.

The nine-speed automatic transmission enables the vehicle to optimize engine output and ensures aggressive

launches and smooth, efficient power delivery at highway speeds.

Like the new Jeep Cherokee, the Renegade’s nine-speed gearbox provides a more responsive driving experience

with quicker acceleration and smoother shifting. The wide ratio spread delivers a bold first gear ratio of 4.71 for

top performance at low rpm and small gear ratio steps affording luxury car levels of shifting refinement.

A unique set of four overdrive ratios improve highway fuel economy and reduce overall noise, vibration and

harshness (NVH) levels.

The all-new, fully electronic nine-speed automatic features on-the-fly shift-map changing with Auto Stick manual

shift capability. More than 20 individual shift maps for specific conditions optimize shift quality and shift points

for improved fuel economy, performance and drivability.

To determine the appropriate shift mode, the transmission software takes into account variables such as torque,

kick-down, longitudinal and lateral acceleration and grade changes.

For improved driving comfort and refinement, the transmission control strategy closely monitors temperature,

speed and electronic stability control activation. The result is automatic shifting ideally attuned to the

performance requirements of almost any driving demand.

But a Jeep SUV isn’t a Jeep SUV unless it delivers superior off-road performance. Uniquely suited to the

requirements of the Renegade Trailhawk model, the nine-speed automatic transmission accommodates a 20:1

crawl ratio setting. The Trail Rated 4x4 rock-crawl ratio is enabled by a 4.71:1 first gear ratio coupled with a

4.334:1 final drive to deliver its class-leading 20:1 crawl ratio.

Proven, fun-to-drive six-speed manual transmission

Jeep Renegade models equipped with the 103 kW 1.4l MultiAir Turbo and the 88 kW 1.6l MultiJet II feature a six-

speed manual transmission with 6.68 ratio spread and a 4.438 final-drive ratio for fuel efficiency at faster speeds.

And thanks to its first-gear launch ratio of 18.4:1, the gearbox delivers quick acceleration with smooth, precise

shift quality. A tubular intermediate shaft with equal-length half shafts helps mitigate unwanted torque steer.

This six-speed state-of-the-art manual transmission is built and designed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies and

belongs to a new group of compact transverse, three-shaft transmissions.

The six-speed is synchronized in all gears for smooth gear transitions. The shift cables are equipped with an

adjustment mechanism for enhanced shift feel as well as an enhanced start / stop sensor that picks up movement

to the gear (i.e. out of neutral).

The clutch system features a dual mass flywheel with pendulum damper for enhanced noise/vibration

characteristics at lower speed (i.e. reduced and/or eliminated “rattle). The clutch system is hydraulic for reduced

operating effort and reduced pedal vibration.

5-speed manual transmission

Jeep Renegade models equipped with the 81 kW 1.6l E.torQ engine are paired to a five-speed manual

transmission.

Developed for high-output applications, the proven C510 five-speed manual transmission has been upgraded for

improved shift quality, and features a 3.929 final-drive ratio to deliver quicker acceleration and faster top speed

without compromising fuel-efficiency. Designed to handle increased torque loads, this manual transmission

includes an intermediate shaft with equal-length half shafts to mitigate torque steer; and oversized half shafts for

increased strength and durability, and to reduce torsional stress in the driveline during performance driving.

Engine range

The new Jeep Renegade is powered by one diesel and four petrol engines and a total of five different powertrain

combinations.

The petrol engine offering includes the 103 kW 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo engine with Stop&Start paired to a six-speed

manual transmission, the 125 kW 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo engine with Stop&Start combined with the nine-speed

automatic transmission and the 81 kW 1.6l E.torQ engine with Stop&Start paired to a five-speed manual

transmission.

The diesel engine range comprises the 88 kW 1.6l MultiJet II with Stop&Start and a six-speed manual

transmission.

A 2.4l Tigershark MultiAir L4 petrol engine is available in the Renegade Trailhawk and it is paired to the nine-

speed automatic transmission.

1.6l Turbo diesel Multijet II

A 1.6l Turbo Diesel engine is offered in the new Jeep Renegade and features second generation, MultiJet

technology developed and patented by Fiat Powertrain.

The MultiJet common rail injection system represents the most technologically advanced solution for

independently controlling high injection pressures (1,600 bar) of the engine rotation speed and quantity of fuel

injected. The engine management is capable of introducing small quantities of fuel (Pilot injections) in order to

optimize engine noise and reduce pollutant emissions, and to manage with the Main injection the amount of fuel

injected to provide the performance requested by the driver, thus allowing particularly smooth engine operation

in all situations.

The 1.6l I-4 Turbo diesel MultiJet II delivers 88 kW at 3,750 r/min and 320 Nm of torque at 1,750 r/min and is

paired with the six-speed manual transmission. Stop&Start technology helps reduce emissions and eliminates

fuel consumption that would result from idling. Includes a close-coupled Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in order to

ensure efficient DPF regenerations and, as a consequence, lower fuel consumption.

The diesel engine features:

Aluminium cylinder head with two camshafts (double overhead camshaft - DOHC), operating 4 valves per

cylinder (two intake and two exhaust) through a low friction actuation system (roller finger followers);

Common Rail fuel system delivering up to 1,600 bar fuel pressure, with solenoid fuel injectors capable of

multiple injection events per combustion cycle with Injection Rate Shaping to reduce fuel consumption

and multiple post injections to optimize Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration efficiency;

Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT)to combine power at high speed and low end torque;

Improved EGR systems with enhanced cooling and double (high and low pressure) EGR system for high

performance versions to lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency;

Balance shafts to reduce vibrations at high engine speed and NVH pack to ensure low noise emission.

1.4l MultiAir II Turbo engine

The 1.4l Turbo-MultiAir II engine is the smaller displacement variant from Fiat Chrysler new family of four-

cylinder petrol engines and it is available on the Limited models.

The 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo engine is designed to take full advantage of the exclusive MultiAir valve train system

developed by Fiat Powertrain and includes a host of new engine components designed for reduced friction to

enhance the performance and fuel efficiency of Jeep’s first offering in the Small sport utility marketplace.

The 1.4l MultiAir II Turbo produces a maximum of 103 kW at 5,500 r/min and torque of 230 Nm at 1,750 r/min in

combination with the six-speed manual transmission. When paired with the 9-speed automatic gearbox and 4x4

the 1.4l MultiAir2 delivers 125 kW at 5,000 r/min and torque of 250 Nm at 2,500 r/min.

The 1.4l MultiAir II engine also incorporates “Stop/Start” technology.

Structurally, the 1.4l MultiAir Turbo engine starts with a durable cast-iron block and a structural aluminium

bedplate. The bore and stroke are 72 mm and 84 mm, respectively, for a total displacement of 1,368 cm3.

Boost pressure is dynamically managed to provide a broad torque curve over a wide variety of ambient

conditions, with a peak pressure of 22 psi at 4,000 r/min. Exclusive MultiAir valve-actuation technology controls

intake air, cylinder by cylinder and stroke by stroke. The resulting precision reduces carbon-dioxide emissions and

boosts fuel-economy up to 7.5 % compared with engines equipped with conventional valvetrains.

At the bottom end, a forged-steel crankshaft with select-fit main bearings is supported across five main journals.

The crankshaft and its counterweights are designed to reduce overall mass.

Durability is ensured with the use of lightweight forged-steel connecting rods that have been designed with a

unique cross-section to minimize longitudinal and lateral rod-bending.

Lightweight cast-aluminium pistons contribute to the overall efficiency of the reciprocating assembly and the

engine’s high-rpm capability. Full-floating piston pins are used for added strength.

Piston cooling jets, located at the bottom of each cylinder, contribute to fuel economy by squirting oil on the

bottom of the pistons. This helps maintain cylinder temperatures and reduce the possibility of hot spots along the

cylinder walls or at the top of the piston that could lead to spark knock.

2.4l Tigershark engine with MultiAir

Efficiency and refinement also are hallmarks of the 16-valve, 2.4l Tigershark four-cylinder engine with the

MultiAir electro-hydraulic, fully variable valve-actuation system available in the Renegade range. This high-tech

engine produces 136 kW at 6,400 r/min with torque of 232 Nm at 4,800 r/min and is mated exclusively with the

segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission.

MultiAir technology uses a column of oil in place of the traditional mechanical link between the camshaft and

intake valves. The resulting precision maximizes intake manifold pressure, significantly reducing pumping losses.

MultiAir takes the innovation further by simultaneously controlling both valve opening and closing events to

more effectively manage combustion quality. This ensures the appropriate, effective compression ratio and

efficient internal exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) for improved fuel economy.

Refinement was a key consideration in the design of every Tigershark component, from its fully isolated

aluminium head cover with integrated oil-separation system, to its high-pressure, die-cast aluminium block.

Sandwiched between the block and the steel oil pan is a lightweight, aluminium ladder-frame with integral oil

filter and oil-cooler adapter. This lends additional structural rigidity.

The oil pan itself boasts refinement. Acoustic material is sandwiched between its outer and inner stampings.

The Tigershark’s polymer-coated piston skirts and tighter piston-to-bore tolerances contribute to reduce NVH.

The cast-aluminium piston, combustion chamber and ports align with the MultiAir system for optimal combustion

and fuel economy.

Cast-aluminium pistons with a compression ratio of 10:1 are designed specifically for the engine and MultiAir

system.

Each bore is fitted with individual oil-squirters in the block that spray oil on the bottom of the pistons and bore

walls to maintain cylinder-wall and piston temperatures. This feature also helps prevent hot spots that could lead

to knock, while improving performance and fuel economy.

Fitted to the forged-steel crankshaft are powder-forged-steel connecting rods that feature a full-floating piston

pin with diamond-like carbon coating. This further reduces friction and improves fuel efficiency.

Vibration is minimized with the use of a balance shaft module. And to maintain adequate lubrication at all engine

speeds, the 2.4l MultiAir Tigershark features a two-stage oil-pressure relief system that reduces engine-oil

pumping loads at low engine speeds for better fuel efficiency.

Other key features of the 2.4l MultiAir Tigershark engine include:

360-degree engine-to-transmission attachment;

Coil-on-plug ignition with dual precious-metal spark plugs;

Front-end accessory drive with automatic tensioning single-belt drive;

Tigershark delivers reduced operating costs because its cam drive, cam-phasing and valve-train components require no scheduled maintenance.

1.6l I4 “E-torQ” petrol engine

The 16-valve 1.6l E.torQ I-4 delivers 81 kW at 5,500 r/min and 152 Nm of peak torque at 4,500 r/min. Stop&Start

technology helps cut emissions and fuel consumption. Unique components help the lightweight engine deliver

high torque at low engine speeds while contributing to reduced fuel consumption. Graphite-coated pistons are

optimized to reduce friction and weight. Forged connecting rods and an aluminium oil pan aid weight savings. For

increased refinement, the E.torQ crankshaft features eight counterweights.

Stop&Start

The new Jeep Renegade is equipped with standard Stop&Start technology on all powertrain configurations. This

system automatically shuts down and restarts the engine to reduce the amount of idle time, thereby reducing

fuel consumption and emissions. This is most advantageous for vehicles which spend significant amounts of time

waiting at traffic lights or frequently stop in traffic. As a result, fuel economy gains can range from 5 – 10 %.

FRAME, SUSPENSION AND STEERING

Designed and engineered to deliver legendary Jeep capability, the new Renegade is the first Small sport-utility

vehicle (SUV) to use the all-new “small-wide 4x4 architecture.” With its fully independent suspension, Renegade

raises the bar in the Small SUV segment with best-in-class off-road capability, along with world-class on-road

driving dynamics and passenger safety.

As the first Jeep vehicle built exclusively outside of the United States to target global markets, the development

of Jeep Renegade was a global coordination of Jeep engineering and design, with Italian craftsmanship and

execution.

The Jeep Renegade’s modular architecture means many models can be built using the same basic underpinnings.

The result is better quality and reliability, less development time and improved tooling. The architecture that the

Renegade is built on comprises common modular and interchangeable components, and allows for modularity of

the wheelbase, front track, rear track, front overhang, and length and width across vehicle lines.

With extensive use of advanced steels, composites and advanced computer-impact simulations, the Jeep

Renegade’s architecture delivers world-class torsional stiffness for optimum control of body geometry. For

passengers, the new architecture delivers off-road durability and up to 205 mm of rear wheel articulation and

210 mm of ground clearance – all while feeling tighter and stiffer, with an added sense of confidence and control

during high speed on-road maneuvers.

Rigid body structure

Renegade features a unibody structure with the upper body and frame engineered as a single unit for a stiff and

more mass-efficient structure. Its rigid foundation can be credited to the extensive use of high-strength steel and

liberal use of structural adhesives. The new Small SUV utilizes approximately 70 % high-strength steel for

maximizing vehicle dynamics and crash performance while optimizing weight efficiency – the first Jeep vehicle to

use high-strength steel to this extent.

For additional weight and strength optimization, Renegade features an aluminium hood, front-cross beam and

hybrid rear crash box.

One of the most notable body structure features is the application of advance high-strength and “hot-stamped”

steels in the upper and under-body, A and B-pillars, front header, sills and rails. Combined, these structural

attributes enable the Jeep Renegade’s roof strength, as well as enhanced visibility via thinner pillar sections.

Enhanced chassis-to-body structure interfaces, including suspension brackets and cradle attachments, are

designed to ensure high stiffness at those points and minimize low-frequency noise into the cabin. Additionally,

this rigid body structure enabled engineers to dial-in the Jeep Renegade’s chassis tuning. The overall result is Jeep

Renegade’s solid, confident and refined feel on the road or trail.

Go anywhere Jeep capability with on-road performance

To deliver best-in-class off-road performance with the dynamics and comfort expected in a Small SUV, Renegade

features a MacPherson front-suspension design with exceptional rigidity for up to 170 mm of articulation,

increased cornering performance and reduced weight. A specially designed front cross member serves two roles

by providing rigidity to achieve greater acoustic comfort and to integrate a third-load line to improve energy

absorption in the event of a crash. A new innovation is the adoption of a “split” type shock absorber mounting

that transmits road vibrations to the body structure through two different routes for improved acoustics and

better efficiency of the shock absorber.

Designed to dampen unwanted harshness into the cabin and help handle the driveline’s torque, the Renegade’s

chassis architecture features an isolated rear cradle. Additionally, the rear cradle provides the attachment points

for Jeep Renegade’s lightweight Chapman suspension design’s two lateral links and half-shafts. With its high-

mounted strut-type shock absorbers and coil springs, this rear suspension design enables Jeep Renegade to

maximize spring rates, improve its roll-steer for on-road performance and offer up to 205 mm of rear-wheel

articulation for off-road adventures.

Premium Koni frequency selective damping system

Jeep Renegade is the first Jeep to integrate Koni’s frequency selective damping (FSD) front and rear strut system.

This damping system enables the Renegade to deliver world-class road-holding and handling characteristics. In

addition, the Koni FSD system actively filters out high-frequency suspension inputs from uneven road surfaces

and adjusts for comfort and smoothness while maintaining excellent ride control.

Advanced electric power steering system

Jeep Renegade features precise steering, thanks to its electric power steering (EPS) and driving steering torque

(DST) systems, which improve both handling and performance.

The vehicle features an advanced steering-column-mounted EPS system that utilizes the latest technology

delivering sporty handling by managing significant loads at all steering wheel operating speeds, and power assist

curves modulated according to driving conditions resulting in up to a 3 % improvement in fuel efficiency when

compared with a conventional hydraulic system. All of the power boost, or assist, is provided via an electric

motor, and because the system is fully electronic, the driver experiences optimal steering effort at all vehicle

speeds with improved fuel efficiency, since there is no parasitic loss from a power steering pump.

The Renegade’s DST system improves both driving safety and handling performance by actively carrying out

corrections, and automatically controls oversteer over surfaces with low grip in all driving conditions. Moreover,

the steering system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s electronic stability control (ESC) system to help

compensate in split-traction, torque steer and pull-drift (crowned road) situations.

Quiet interior environment

For Jeep Renegade to deliver a quiet interior cabin, engineers maximized the vehicle’s structural design and

tuned the interior environment for sound quality and level by isolating powertrain, wind and road noise.

This city-friendly sized Jeep features a noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) package that includes laminated

acoustic windshield glass, body-cavity silencing foam, under-flush rolled-framed doors with triple seals and

acoustic wheel-well liners to absorb road noise and quiet the cabin. Combined, these design improvements

provide the Renegade high levels of interior sound quality.

SAFETY

Safety and security were at the forefront in the development of the new Jeep Renegade. The new Small SUV

offers up to 70 available safety and security features, including the segment’s first availability of Forward Collision

Warning-Plus and LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus.

Standard safety features on the new Jeep Renegade consist of six airbags (advanced seats multi-stage air bags,

all-row full-length side-curtain air bags, side bags,), ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with rollover mitigation

(ERM). To ensure maximum protection, the complete offering of safety features available or optional on the new

Renegade also includes Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, Adaptive Cruise Control and ParkView

rear backup camera with dynamic grid lines.

One of the most innovative systems fitted on the new Jeep Renegade is the Forward Collision Warning-Plus

braking assist system – a first in the category. This system utilizes radar and video sensors to detect whether the

Renegade is approaching another vehicle or large obstacle in its path too rapidly and warns or assists the driver in

avoiding/mitigating the incident.

The LaneSense Departure Warning-Plus system uses a camera-based vision sensor to establish the Renegade’s

position on the road. If an unintentional lane drift occurs, determined by trajectory change and the absence of

turn-signal activation, the system will deliver a visual warning and a haptic warning – the subtle introduction of

torque from the electric power steering (EPS) system. If the driver unintentionally drifts too far, the system

provides a secondary visual warning.

The Blind Spot Monitoring uses dual ultra-wideband radar sensors to aid the driver when changing lanes or if

being passed by or passing unseen vehicles. The system notifies the driver of vehicle(s) in their blind spot via

illuminated icons on the side-view mirror and with a driver-selected audible chime.

Adaptive Cruise Control, when activated, decreases the vehicle’s pre-set cruise-control speed when closing in on

another vehicle in the same lane, or when another vehicle pulls into the same lane. ACC will accelerate to the

pre-set speed when the vehicle in front speeds up or moves into another lane. The system will also maintain a

driver adjustable distance between the vehicle and the one in front of it and is particularly useful when driving in

adverse meteorological conditions or in situations of reduced visibility.

Beside these advanced and innovative safety features, Jeep Renegade’s available safety and security equipment

include:

1. Active turn signals: Turn signal flashes three times when stalk is depressed for one second to indicate a lane change

2. Advanced multistage air bags: Inflates with a force appropriate to the severity of the impact. Meets FMVSS 208 advanced air bag requirements for smaller, out-of-position occupants

3. All-row full-length side-curtain air bags: Extend protection to all outboard front- and rear-seat passengers. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor that autonomously triggers the air bag on the side where an impact occurs. This type of air bag is housed in the headliner just above side windows

4. All-speed traction control system: Part of the standard anti-lock brake system (ABS), helps keep driving wheels from spinning during acceleration from a stop or during all speeds by applying individual brakes alone or in combination with engine torque limitation to prevent wheel slip

5. Anti-lock brake system (ABS): Senses and prevents wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions

6. Anti-lock brake system with rough-road detection: Anti-lock brake system is capable of detecting if the vehicle is driving on a rough road by the oscillations in the wheel speed signals. Rough road is detected on off-road surfaces or trails, and ABS enters a different pressure control where it will hold the brake pressure for longer pulses

7. Auto-dimming rearview mirror: Auto-dimming mirror automatically reduces glare from bright light allowing the driver to have a clearer view of the road ahead

8. Automatic defog: Enables the Renegade’s automatic temperature control (ATC) system to measure humidity inside the vehicle and provide a fog-free windshield automatically without driver intervention

25. Dual-note electric horns: Produces two different tones at the same time, to cut through ambient noise

26. Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS): Makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on the interior lighting, flashing the hazard lights and unlocking the doors on the Renegade after air bag deployment. Also shuts off flow of fuel to the engine

27. Electric parking brake (EPB): Utilizes parking brake switch mounted in the center console, a motor on caliper (MOC) at each rear wheel and an electronic control module. Four modes of operation: static apply and release, dynamic apply, drive away release and safe hold

28. Electronic brake-force distribution: Assists the driver to optimize stopping distances and control under all vehicle loading conditions by regulating braking pressure front-to-rear

29. Electronic roll mitigation (ERM): An extension of electronic stability control (ESC). Uses input from ESC sensors to anticipate if the vehicle is at risk of entering a potential roll situation, then applies the brakes individually and modulates the throttle position as needed

30. Electronic stability control (ESC): Enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. Provides the benefit in critical driving situations such as turns, and is valuable when driving on mixed surface conditions including snow, ice or gravel. If there is a discernible difference between driver input through the steering wheel and the vehicle’s path, ESC applies selective braking and throttle input to guide the vehicle back on to the driver’s intended path

31. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC): Provides the driver with trip, temperature, tyre-pressure monitoring and other vehicle information within the Renegade’s instrument cluster

32. Energy-absorbing steering column: The manual-adjust steering column utilizes two hydroformed coaxial tubes that can move relative to each other to allow the column to move forward for enhanced energy absorption during a crash. The power-adjust steering column employs a calibrated bending element that deforms during column stroke for optimal energy management

33. Energy management system: Three front load paths designed from high-strength steel manage vehicle crush and minimize cabin intrusion

34. Express up/down windows: One-touch powered express up/down window button located on the front driver and passenger-side door

38. Front-seat mounted side pelvic thorax bags: Provide enhanced protection to the driver and front outboard passenger in certain impacts. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor that autonomously triggers the air bag on the side where an impact occurs. Standard side air bags are housed within the outboard side of each front seat

39. Front wiper blades deicer: Prevents wiper blades from freezing to the front windshield, and improves cold-weather wipe ability

40. Global position sensor (GPS): Used for navigation guidance

41. Height-adjustable seat belts (front-row): Outboard seat belts feature height adjustment, allowing for the seat belt to be placed in the optimal position for any driver

42. Hill-start Assist (HSA): Assists drivers when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill by maintaining the level of brake pressure applied for a short period of time after a driver’s foot is removed from the brake pedal. If throttle is not applied within a short period of time after the driver’s foot is removed from the brake pedal, brake pressure will be released

43. Hill-descent Control: This feature allows Renegade to descend steep grades with minimal driver input

44. Keyless Enter-N-Go: When an individual enters the vehicle, electronic sensors detect if the vehicle key fob is present. The vehicle will then allow the individual to push a button to start the vehicle without having to insert the key into the ignition

45. Occupant Restraint Controller: Detects an impact and determines whether a crash is severe enough to trigger air bag deployment and whether the primary or secondary stage inflation is sufficient. In addition, the controller detects side impacts and determines whether the rail-curtain and side seat-mounted (thorax protection) air bags should deploy. Engagement of front seat-belt pretensioners are also managed through the controller

46. ParkSense rear park assist system: The system utilizes ultrasonic sensors at low speeds in reverse to detect stationary objects. If it is determined that a collision is imminent the system will provide a momentary, autonomous brake apply/brake jerk then release. At speeds below 7 km/h the system will bring the vehicle to a stop before releasing

47. ParkView rear backup camera: Provides a wide-angle view of the area immediately behind the vehicle, giving the driver greater peace of mind before reversing at low speeds. Contains dynamic grid lines to aid the driver when maneuvering into parking spaces or narrow areas. Also aids in lining up a trailer to the vehicle’s trailer hitch, when so equipped. The image is displayed on the navigation screen when the transmission is shifted into Reverse

48. Ready Alert Braking (RAB): Anticipates situations when the driver may initiate an emergency brake stop and uses the ESC pump to set brake pads against rotors in order to decrease the time required for full brake application

49. Rear Cross Path (RCP) detection: In parking lot situations, this system warns drivers backing out of parking spaces of traffic moving toward their vehicle. It activates any time the vehicle is in Reverse. The driver is notified of vehicle(s) crossing behind the vehicle via illuminated icons on the side-view mirror and with a driver-selected audible chime

50. Remote keyless entry: Locks and unlocks doors and turns on interior lights. If the vehicle is equipped with a security alarm, the remote also arms and disarms that system

51. Remote start (only available in certain markets): Conveniently starts the engine and activates key comfort settings based on ambient conditions by using the key fob while maintaining vehicle security

52. Safety cage body structure: Protects occupants by managing and controlling energy in the event of an impact
