Do you prefer the six-speed manual with 160 HP or the 9-speed automatic with 184 HP?

  • Automatic because of higher horsepower

The Renegade is the latest model in the Jeep lineup and is based on the Fiat 500L and the Panda 4x4. The SUV was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2014 and started production in late August of the same year.

It would make for a nice little SUV to drive around Sierra or Eiger Nordwand.

Specs:

Wheelbase - 101.2 in (2,570 mm)
Length - 166.61 in. (4232 mm)
Width - 74.2 in (1,880 mm)
Height - 66.5 in (1,690 mm)
Drivetrain - 4x4 / front engine placement
Horsepower - 184 hp
Engine - 2.4 liter Tigershark four-cylinder w/ 9-speed automatic

I am not a fan of Jeep, and this looks a little slab-sided, but there is something about the cheeky face that is charming. Never buy one though. A Nissan Juke or Fiat 500X are far more appealing. Even the model does not seem delighted about having to work with it. She is longingly looking over at the Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4.

What is it with Jeep and stupid names? I bet when you tell someone you drive a Renegade Trailhawk they envisage something slightly more macho than this. Something along the lines of the Paramount Marauder.

I would still like to see a couple of SUVs in GT7 so this as a starter model would be ok before moving on to a Juke Nismo RS.

Trailhawk is just the optional trim for the car. The Jeep comes in Trailhawk, Latitude, limited or Sport as the optional trims (U.S market).

Added a poll to see if people would prefer the manual or automatic and updated the specs to provide info for both the manual and automatic transmission options.
