Neat and chunky Rene
THE RENEGADE is a chunky little
crossover with SUV looks and, at
the top end of the range, the guts to
back up its beefy appearance.
It’s yours in more efficient tw0-
wheel or surprisingly capable
four-wheel drive guises, including
a Trail Rated version that adds a
small fortune to the price but turns
it into a tenacious little off-roader.
The Night Eagle is a special edi&lt;
tion limited to just a few hundred
units in the UK, with a handful of
European markets getting small
numbers as well. It gets some speci-
fication upgrades, although these
haven’t been fully confirmed for
the UK market yet, and a semi-matt
dark grey paint option that looks
the business.
Who doesn’t love a limited edition,
right? Buyers will hope that extra
kudos points attached to Night Ea—
gle models will improve residual
values, but don’t count on dealer-
sourced finance to reflect that. Still,
the chance to own something much
less common has got to carry some
weight in the showroom.
Personally I love the Renegade’ 3
style It has signature Jeep features
like the seven- section grille and the
trapezoidal wheel arches but the
boxy shape around them is as clas—
sic as it is contemporary. From the
high driver’s seat the bonnet bulges
provocatively into view and makes
the car feel both bigger and meaner
than it really 13.
The boot is quite big thanks to the
height on offer. At 351 litres you‘ll
find more space than in a Ford Fo-
cus but less than in a Seat Leon or
the Renault Captur with its seats
pushed all the way back for maxi»
mum rear legroom. The Captur’s
boot is expandable to an amazing
455 litres, too, so there are better 0p-
tions for space hunters.
There’s ample rear legroom, to
give the Renegade its credit. but
unlike the Cherokee Night Eagle it
holds onto cloth seats. The Chero-
kee equivalent gets leather. Practi-
cality in the smaller car should be
boosted by rear parking sensors,
which aren’t standard on the Lon-
gitude model upon which the Night
Eagle is based.
You sit high above the road. eye-
balling van drivers and surveying
the kingdom of your driveway, if
you have one. You’re almost above
the pedals compared to the driV»
ing position in lower cars but
there’s plenty of space and the
steering wheel doesn’t clash with
your knees. Dark styling details are
Night Eagle add ons but very little
is actually different to an ordinary
Renegade.
The diesel engine is a bit noisy
here but it’s strong at low revs
punting the little Jeep up the road
easily.
Summed up in a single word: Neat
In a TV drama it would be the lit-
tle guy always cracking jokes who
1can mix it with the best on the front
me.
