Future models - Jeep - RenegadeDetroit show: Jeep RenegadeJeep points to an electric future for off-roading21 Jan 2008 A POSSIBLE pointer to a future light 4WD from the all-American off-road brand, the Jeep Renegade uses two 200kW electric motors fed by a lithium-ion battery. One of the motors powers the front axle while the second powers the rear. Just like the Chrysler ecoVoyager also unveiled in Detroit, the Renegade has a base range of 64km when running only on electric power. It also carries a 1.5-litre three-cylinder Bluetec diesel generator, which means the Renegade can run for 644km before a refuel. Jeep says that even when also using diesel power in addition to its electric motors, the Renegade still uses four to five times less fuel than an equivalent petrol-powered model. The electric-diesel powertrain set-up is linked to a 4WD system that includes low-range and front and rear locking differentials for serious rock crawling. Classified a B-segment car, the Renegade seats two people and has an open top with a rollcage. It features oversized wheels, flared wheelarches and a cut-down windscreen.
