Chrysler has released its third — and final — sketch of a trio of concept vehicles that it will be debuting at this January’s Detroit Auto Show. The latest concept is the Jeep Renegade Concept, designed to be a rugged, yet eco friendly, B-segment-sized two-seat vehicle.
Jeep claims the Renegade Concept is capable of “off-roading and dune surfing” — complete with an interior that can be hosed clean — but its minimal use of materials and hybrid drivetrain should appeal to greener customers. Powering the Renegade Concept is a lithium-ion battery pack — with a 40 mile range — that can be recharged by a small, onboard BLUETEC diesel engine. The combined mileage of the hybrid system is said to be 110 mpg.
A speedster windshield and a roll bar also adds to the Renegade Concept’s sportiness.
