Chrysler will unveil a trio of concept cars at the next Detroit Motor Show. The Jeep Renegade Concept will be one of them and remind us the 2005 Hurricane concept car, but with better manner. Forget the two 5.7 litre HEMI engines featured in the Hurricane. The Renegade is powered by small diesel engine, which uses the Bluetec emissions technology. The catalytic converter is injected with urea to reduce nitrogen oxide levels by up to 90 per cent. Chrysler claims a 110 miles per gallon.
At 153 inches long, 62.9 inches wide and 56.3 inches high is longer, but narrower and lower than the Hurricane. The appealing design has almost no front and rear overhang. The doors appear to be minimalist while there is no roof.
We hope that this styling exercise previews a future production model. At least, it seems more realistic than the Hurricane.
