Jeep Renegade Concept

The Jeep Renegade is the third concept presented by Chrysler at Detroit, after the Dodge Zeo and the Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept.

The Renegade is powered by the same propulsion system on the other two Chrysler concepts, featuring dual electric 200 kilowatt (268 horsepower) motors with 40 miles range. However, the car also has a 115 hp 1.5 liter 3-cylinder BLUETEC diesel engine, which increases its range to about 400 miles. A range extender – in Renegade’s case, a small-displacement (1.5-liter, 3-cylinder) BLUETEC diesel engine – allows for journeys beyond 40 miles. In fact, the Jeep Renegade concept boasts a 400-mile range.

The all-new Jeep Renegade concept’s lightweight aluminum architecture and regen-braking system help to improve overall efficiency, while the 4×4 system (complete with low range and locking differentials) is pretty capable.

What is with the scuba diver propulsion in the back, it says the electric motors are on each axle? So what kind of prop have they stuck back there for the show, it should be a jump seat?
It’s Neat, I hope they don’t water it down too much before release; all it really needs is some weather protection.
Does it have a locomotive type power train (good), or is there a transmission that switches back and forth like the Prius (overly complex). Diesel electric locomotion is nice because the engine has constant load and RPM. It’s easy to make an engine clean and efficient that way, I don’t know why more electric cars don’t use the gen-set idea for back up (generator could even run while you’re away from it).
I would test drive one today if it was out there. I am tired of plain vanilla cars.
