Our photographers bring you live shots of the Jeep Renegade on the floor at Geneva. They even took snapshots of a Diesel Trailhawk, the best combination that we won’t get in North America. Gallery after the jump.

I'll bet the female take rate on these little cuties will be about 97%.

  I'm guessing it will not be that extreme. Something around 55/45 toward females. Considering the large number of various AWD models that Subaru sells each year I think there is a healthy market for a lighter duty Jeep. Lets face it, the majority of Jeep owners do not use their vehicle to climb boulders. P.S. If I had the money it would be on my short list. Especially if there was an option for the 2.4 non-turbo engine.

  @April You can climb boulders with Renegade, just not very big ones. In terms of New Mexico trails, think La Bajada, Cedro. Heck I once navigated Cedro on RAV4 in the winter. Took me whole day, but I did it with just a few scratches.

That white one is devolving back to common, sh*t ground clearance. Disturbing. Presumably there is a suspension option to provide the greater height of the orange one?

  Apparently the 25mm factory lift that you detected is a part of "Trailhawk" package.

  @Pete Zaitcev Thanks. So, only roughly an inch difference between the Trailhawk and that very Patriot-looking ground clearance of the white model. *sigh* "Nothing is ever as good or as bad as it first seems." Bismarck

  @Old Man Pants I think it's that low hanging front bumper you noticed. TrailHawk has a tidier approach angle.

  @Old Man Pants Indeed 1" is nothing dramatic, but my experience of beating snot out of a soft-roader on trail persuaded me that the clearance is not supremely important (although it is important). The most damaged part of the vehicle was the line between axles. That suggests to me that ramp angle is the most important measure in this kind of vehicle, and I hope that shorter wheelbase helps Renegade. I think I never landed a diff on a rock even once.
