The buzz is already building for the new Jeep Renegade following the official debut of the compact SUV at the 2014 New York International Auto Show. Some good, some bad, but it certainly has sparked some discussions among consumers and journalists alike. Of course, a lot of the talk has been centered on the exterior design, which has taken some criticism from die-hard Jeep enthusiasts.
OK, it’s finally here – the all-new Jeep Renegade that the brand hopes will give it a unique offering in the small SUV market. Debuting at the 2014 New York International Auto Show, the new Jeep is targeted at what the company describes as “youthful and adventurous customers.” In short, if you’re one of those longtime Jeep enthusiasts who has been making the trek to Moab for the past ten years for Jeep’s Easter Safari, then the Renegade probably isn’t for you.
The good news just keeps rolling in for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Just as the 2014 Denver Auto Show gets underway, the SUV has been named the 2014 Rocky Mountain SUV of the Year.
These photos, snapped in Michigan, give us a pretty good view of a vehicle that features some of the same design elements of the Jeep Renegade that debuted at the Geneva Auto Show last month.
