The Jeep Renegade Concept was just unveiled at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show transforming hybrid vehicles into a whole new species. Looking like something right out of the movie Transformers (except that they were GM products), the Jeep Renegade Concept is a two seat, environmentally-friendly vehicle that looks like a dune buggy on steroids or perhaps even a teenage mutant ninja turtle.<\/p>\n
Chrysler\u2019s Renegade can travel the first 40 miles on lithium ion battery alone before the 3-cylinder BLUETEC diesel engine kicks in to give the vehicle a 400-mile range. Loaded with the Chrysler ENVI electric vehicle technology, the Jeep Renegade Concept hybrid can achieve 110 mpg. Take that, Prius!<\/p>\n
The Jeep Renegade Concept carries a 200 kw (268 hp) electric motor shared by two other Chryslers also rolled out in Detroit, the Dodge ZEO<\/a> and the Chrysler ecoVoyager<\/a>. What makes the Renegade Concept different that these two vehicles are features like the 4-wheel drive, locking differentials and low gear mode one would expect from a rough and tumble vehicle such as this.<\/p>\n This off-road vehicle isn\u2019t your daddy\u2019s hybrid car as it is made to get down and dirty in the mountains and desolate desert terrain. The Jeep Renegade<\/a> is just as the name implies, an outlaw in the hybrid community in both fuel economy and rugged performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Jeep Renegade Concept was just unveiled at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show transforming hybrid vehicles into a whole new species.
