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.

Alan Well, it will take 30 years to fix Nissan up after the Renault Alliance reduced Nissan to a paltry mess.I think Nissan will eventually improve.
Alan This will be overpriced for what it offers.I think the "Western" auto manufacturers rip off the consumer with the Thai and Chinese made vehicles.A Chinese made Model 3 in Australia is over $70k AUD(for 1995 $45k USD) which is far more expensive than a similar Chinesium EV of equal or better quality and loaded with goodies.Chinese pickups are $20k to $30k cheaper than Thai built pickups from Ford and the Japanese brands. Who's ripping who off?
Alan Years ago Jack Baruth held a "competition" for a piece from the B&B on the oddest pickup story (or something like that). I think 5 people were awarded the prizes.I never received mine, something about being in Australia. If TTAC is global how do you offer prizes to those overseas or are we omitted on the sly from competing?In the end I lost significant respect for Baruth.
Alan My view is there are good vehicles from most manufacturers that are worth looking at second hand.I can tell you I don't recommend anything from the Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat/etc gene pool. Toyotas are overly expensive second hand for what they offer, but they seem to be reliable enough.I have a friend who swears by secondhand Subarus and so far he seems to not have had too many issue.As Lou stated many utes, pickups and real SUVs (4x4) seem quite good.
28-Cars-Later So is there some kind of undiagnosed disease where every rando thinks their POS is actually valuable?83K miles Ok.new valve cover gasket.Eh, it happens with age. spark plugsOkay, we probably had to be kewl and put in aftermarket iridium plugs, because EVO.new catalytic converterUh, yeah that's bad at 80Kish. Auto tranny failing. From the ad: the SST fails in one of the following ways:Clutch slip has turned into; multiple codes being thrown, shifting a gear or 2 in manual mode (2-3 or 2-4), and limp mode.Codes include: P2733 P2809 P183D P1871Ok that's really bad. So between this and the cat it suggests to me someone jacked up the car real good hooning it, because EVO, and since its not a Toyota it doesn't respond well to hard abuse over time.$20,000, what? Pesos? Zimbabwe Dollars?Try $2,000 USD pal. You're fracked dude, park it in da hood and leave the keys in it.BONUS: Comment in the ad: GLWS but I highly doubt you get any action on this car what so ever at that price with the SST on its way out. That trans can be $10k + to repair.
