For those enthusiasts who relish the off-road capability of Jeep’s iconic Wrangler model offerings, but would prefer more sophistication in a style that’s less utilitarian, there’s a new kid in town — it’s the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade that builds on and enhances the Wrangler’s bold athletic stance, rugged packaging and aggressive proportions, incorporating best-in-class approach and departure angles that were purposely designed to deliver the best capability in its class.

The new Jeep Renegade is crafted and assembled in Melfi, Italy, but features familiar key Jeep elements such as the signature seven-slot grille and accent colored “shield” surround. Drawing from Jeep Wrangler’s DNA, the Renegade sports beefy tires, wide fender forms, door-mounted side mirrors and a lifted belt line recalling the icon’s half-doors. Short overhangs, trapezoidal wheel arches and a sculptural blend of fluid shapes interrupted by strong chamfers create Renegade’s rugged form.
