The Renegade Hard Steel Jeep showcar, created in collaboration with Mopar, will be making its debut and the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show.

Based on the Trailhawk – the off-road version of the Renegade range – the prototype is attained with a Brushed Steel livery, a bodywork treatment that evokes cutting-edge aviation and marine technology. All enhanced by a matte black colour contrast used for many of the features such as the grid, roof bars, mirror covers, 16” alloy wheels, side rubbing strips, bonnet air vents, fenders and bumpers. The showcar adopts larger BF Goodrich All Terrain tyres, raised suspension and engraved skid plate. Made all the more attractive by the presence of original accessories such as a Mopar grille and opaque black mirror covers, black running board, floor mats and towbar.

The same strong customization is found in the interior where the Brushed Steel treatment embellishes the frames of the air conditioning vents, gearbox, glove compartment and audio speakers. Stylistic details that go perfectly with the light grey tone stitching of the seats, the door panels and the Trailhawk logo embroidered on the headrests.
The special trailer, connected to the showcar, incorporates a real entertainment station and demonstrates the sophisticated infotainment system with 5 “or 6.5” touch screens ensuring access to radio, mediaplayer, handsfree phone, navigation device and Uconnect LIVE services, available from June on Renegade model.
In the trailer, a large touch screen display shows all the features of the new service platform that allows access to Internet Music (Deezer), Internet Radio (TuneIn), News (Reuters), real time Traffic (Tom Tom LIVE) as well as Social Network (Facebook and Twitter) via wi-fi hotspot developed by Mopar, as an original accessory dedicated to the Renegade.
