MODEL OVERVIEW
Jeep Renegade 4xe The Renegade is the first Jeep to be offered with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, providing lower CO2 emissions, improved performance and fully electric running. Its 11kWh battery provides range of 26 miles and can be recharged in less than two hours, making it ideal for urban commuters who wish to reduce their carbon footprint, but still enjoy unrestricted driving performance. CO2 emissions are fewer than 50g/km, placing the car in the attractive 12% benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax bracket and putting the Renegade firmly on the radar of company car drivers. Three trim levels are offered: Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk.
All models feature a large 8.4-inch infotainment screen, which includes new features to enable the driver to monitor and adjust the performance of the hybrid system. The Renegade PHEV is powered by a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which can deliver up to 237hp in the Trailhawk. Longitude and Limited models feature a 187hp output. On all versions, the powertrain delivers a combination of 270Nm from the petrol engine to the front wheels and 263Nm from the electric motor to the rear wheels – significantly more than any other Renegade model.

Fiat Panda The new Panda is available in three distinct versions – Life, Cross and Sport, each providing a unique style, but retaining the car’s core values. A new 1.0-litre mild hybrid engine powers all two-wheel drive Panda variants, while four-wheel drive versions use a 0.9-litre Twinair engine. The entry version to the Panda Life range comes with numerous features, including air-con and Bluetooth, while the City Life adds 15-inch alloy wheels and a leather steering wheel and gear knob. The Panda Wild 4x4 tops the range with the same exterior and interior features as the Panda City Life, but adds all-wheel drive,
rear differential gear locking, and front and rear skidplates. The Sport model joins the Panda line-up for the first time and is instantly recognisable thanks to new 16-inch alloy wheels, red brake callipers, darkened rear windows, and body-coloured door handles and door mirrors. The Panda City Cross provides a robust exterior look with black door mirrors, handles, roof rack and side sills, 15-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers and skidplates. Building on the Panda City Cross, the Cross 4x4 receives all-terrain selector with three modes (auto, off-road, hill descent control), allwheel drive, rear differential gear locking and rear parking sensors.
