Test: new Jeep Renegade.

After reading this story, traditional Jeep fans will go straight to the American flag pole flying in their yard and hang from it. Here we go: from September launches a fully revised Jeep Renegade... With a three-cylinder engine! Oh my god! Is it the beginning of the end? We tell you. Test: 2018 Jeep Renegade.

To begin with, we will say that there is no reason to be alarmed. In the Fiat group they have been concerned to safeguard the identity of Jeep. The turbocharged one-litre engine is a completely new development. With 120 hp, it exceeds the previous engine, a 1.6 liter, by 10. And it should save around 20% fuel, which is not little. The Jeep Renegade halo headlights are not stock lights, so you can upgrade they, it is worth.

It's not bad on paper, but the surprises follow when you get behind the wheel: the engine has a refined response as well as fluid, it gives the impression that it is a larger engine with more cylinders.

They also have a new 1.3-cylinder in preparation, which in this case goes up to 150 hp and is coupled to a dual-clutch transmission, and a 180 hp variant with a nine-speed automatic converter and all-wheel drive.

There are no official prices yet, but we anticipate that it will not vary much from the current model, so it will probably start at just over 20,000 euros. Although at the moment, they are only speculations.
Don't go yet...

But in case the Renegade doesn't get your adrenaline pumping enough, Jeep has an option in the pipeline to get you fired up for good. Of course, for this you will have to pay about 100,000 euros more: the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the superior variant of the brand's superior model, namely: a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine with a compressor from the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

This means 710 hp and 868 Nm of torque, making the Trackhawk the fastest SUV in the world. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The maximum speed? 289km/h

On the outside, it is only revealed by a small spoiler, yellow brake calipers and a couple of plates with the specific emblem. Those who want one will have to hurry: only 150 units will reach us a year.
