Following the world reveal at the Geneva Motor Show in March and the US première at the New York

International Auto Show in April, the new Jeep Renegade, the Small SUV now makes its debut to the international

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

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.

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

Page 6: · Web viewInheriting 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

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

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.

Page 7: · Web viewInheriting 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

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

Page 8: · Web viewInheriting 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

• 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.

Page 9: · Web viewInheriting 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

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

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.

Page 11: · Web viewInheriting 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

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.

Page 12: · Web viewInheriting 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

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).

Page 13: · Web viewInheriting 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

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

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.

Page 16: · Web viewInheriting 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

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.

Page 17: · Web viewInheriting 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

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

Page 18: · Web viewInheriting 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

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

Page 19: · Web viewInheriting 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

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.

Page 20: · Web viewInheriting 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

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.

Page 21: · Web viewInheriting 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

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.

MANUFACTURING

First Jeep to be built in Italy and produced outside the United States for the global market

The renewed SATA (Società Automobilistica Tecnologie Avanzate) plant of Melfi is the proud “home” of the new

Jeep Renegade.

The nearly 1.9-million-square-metre assembly plant was built in 1991 and the first vehicle rolled out of the

assembly line in October 1993.

including the Fiat Punto (1994), Lancia Ypsilon (1995), new Ypsilon (2003), Grande Punto (2005) and Punto Evo

(2009) reaching a total of 5,645,275 cars produced until 2013.

In preparation for the production of the all-new Jeep Renegade and to ensure that the new model - the first Jeep

ever produced in Italy and outside the United States- launched with the best possible quality, the SATA plant

implemented and aligned all of the best practices and technologies from the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group.

Today the complex consists of a Press, Body, Paint and Assembly shop and employees a total of 5,941 workers.

Production of the new Jeep Renegade in Melfi began in July 2014.
