Resemble Porsche 2009 911 that Turbo obtains a contact upwards. This prototype located in Germany resembles the standard model, but we noted that some minor modifications which indicate an imminent midcycle regenerate. The front end is in peace insofar as we can say, but the back end has new rear lights with the LED and an arrangement slightly different of objective.
“With an electric motor powering each axle, the Jeep Renegade concept is designed for a ‘hang on and have fun experience,’” said Tony Shamenkov, Jeep Renegade concept principal exterior designer.
Scott Anderson said, “Not only did I minimize the use of materials by making as few parts as possible to construct the interior from, but I also tried to reduce the amount of variation of types of materials, which allows you to disassemble the car very easily and recycle the pieces together so they can be put into another stream into a future product.”
The Jeep Renegade concept starts with a 40-mile lithium-ion battery pack, and a small (1.5-liter, 3-cylinder) diesel engine boosts the range to 400 miles. The little diesel generates an additional 115 horsepower when needed, while greatly reducing exhaust emissions when compared to standard gasoline engines. Renegade is capable of achieving an equivalent petroleum fuel economy of 110 miles per gallon.
The all-new Jeep Renegade concept’s lightweight aluminum architecture and regenerative braking system help to improve overall efficiency, while dual electric 200 kilowatt (268 horsepower) motors propel a very capable 4x4 system – complete with low range and locking differentials -- worthy of carrying the Jeep name.
Constructed of environmentally responsible materials, sustainability is a key theme of the Jeep Renegade concept.
Renegade is targeted at customers in the “Stylish Green” segment of the marketplace – those who are extremely environmentally oriented, appreciate high-tech and innovation, and enjoy performance combined with style in keeping with their “green” attitude.
There is a distinct possibility that, hidden in the Renegade, is a potential replacement for the Compass — or maybe not.
The Jeep Renegade concept’s personality is emphasized by its large, flaring wheel openings, oversized wheels and tires, and cut-down speedster windshield. Among the unique exterior details are “deconstructed” rubber-clad headlamps and taillamps, as well as just-for-fun elongated triangular openings in each of the two sculpted doors.
While the Renegade features a roll bar, it has no top. Instead, the cargo deck just behind the cockpit can be fitted with a variety of “lids.” Options include a plain lid, or lids configured to accommodate the gear of a particular outdoor day-trip activity, such as mountain biking or kayaking. Or it can come “as built” -- with formations designed to accommodate two matching water scooters with open storage underneath. Fluid-fill caps, a plug-in port and a first-aid kit are also included
.Sustainability – a ratio between the energy needed to build and ship the vehicle as compared with the impact these processes have on the environment – is a key focus of the Jeep Renegade concept’s interior design.
Materials used in constructing the Jeep Renegade concept were deliberately selected to be environmentally responsible, both in manufacture and end-of-vehicle-life recyclability.
Innovative construction includes one-piece molded soy-based foam seats and doors, a one-piece co-molded instrument panel with a urethane skin, a co-molded aluminum/silicone steering wheel, a one-piece molded chassis created without using environmentally-harmful resins, and a one-piece molded interior compartment “tub.” This environmental care in designing the Renegade’s interior is aligned with Jeep’s “harmony with nature” philosophy.
“The Jeep Renegade concept’s interior — actually the entire vehicle — is designed to minimize the number of parts necessary for assembly and function,” said Scott Anderson, principal interior designer of the Renegade concept. “We designed the Renegade with an eye toward simplification of systems, both in parts and processes.”
The HVAC system, for example, is not coolant-based, while the color, grain and gloss of the interior parts are molded in one piece. Even the no-gloss exterior color of the Renegade’s lightweight composite body is molded in to avoid the use of solvents present in automotive paints.
The dual-cockpit instrument panel is balanced for easy left-hand drive and right-hand drive applications. There is no conventional wiring. Instead, the instrument panel features wireless electronics in sealed, self-contained units, removable by the customer. The panel is built about an exposed cross-car beam containing an integrated power strip, and on the passenger side, yaw, pitch and roll indicators (also built into the fluid-fill gauges). The instrument panel itself is hollow, allowing ample open storage below the beam. Separately-configured impact-absorbing vinyl-wrapped knee-blockers “float” beneath the cross-car beam.
The thin multi-plane acrylic instrument cluster mounts to the steering column, while the similar but separate center control screen mounts on a swivel base -- providing easy access to both occupants.
Located at the intersection of the steering wheel’s T-shaped spokes, the circular LED screen rotates, allowing the driver to select the drive mode, while a flattened rim provides roomier thigh clearance. A driver air bag is concealed beneath the screen. Red or green translucent shift buttons allow Park, Reverse or Drive selections.
The Jeep Renegade concept’s sporty doors incorporate unique canvas-pull remote “handles,” while the rush of the moving landscape visible through the door’s elongated openings enhance the feeling of carefree, open-air mobility.
The Renegade’s contoured, figure-form seats -- covered in scuba-like waterproof materials that are both soft-touch and flexible -- feature in-seat belts and unusual, hollow, lightweight upside-down “U-shaped” headrests. The seats feature a urethane skin with soy-based foam co-molded with a composite substructure. The integral seatbelts, along with slender accent strips on the seats and instrument panel, repeat the Palm Metallic exterior color.
A “thermal unit” in the center console plugs into the electrical battery pack, permitting food to be either heated or cooled.
The Renegade’s wireless interior is designed to be hosed down. It features a drain in the floor, while the formations built into the floor mat are designed to channel water to the opening. Hollow-section billet-formed pedals float above the tub floor. Weight/GVWR 3150 lbs./3600 lbs.

Follow these instructions to achieve a professional show quality interior.
Step 1 - Cleaning and Removal of Panels
The first step to take is to remove all the pieces you would like painted. On areas you cant remove from the car such as the dashboard it is extremely important to mask off the entire area around where you are painting. It is also important to leave all the doors open so that a good airflow will stop a cloud of paint from forming on the interior of the car. It will also help speed up the drying time. Once you have all pieces masked the next step is to clean each piece rigorously. It is very important that you do not leave any grease or debris on the panels that are about to be painted, otherwise the debris will be embedded underneath the paint.
Step 2 - Sanding and Contouring of Panels
The second step to take is contouring or sanding the pieces about to be painted. Depending on the finish you would like to achieve this step may be bypassed. Personally we usually like to have a nice smooth surface finish on most of our interior pieces. To achieve this you must start with a semi course sandpaper such as 800 grit. Make sure than when you are sanding each individual piece you do so evenly. Once you have removed the majority of bumps and indents in the plastic panels the next step is to move onto a finer grade paper. We suggest at least 1000 grit paper. Simply complete the same as was done with the 800 grit paper and move on to finishing sandpaper to complete the process.
Step 3 - Applying the Primer
This step should not be overlooked as the primer will help point out any mistakes you have made with the sanding. It will also help the actual base paint adhere better to the finish. Simply hold the primer can about 8 inches away from the surface to be painted and begin spraying in slightly overlapping strokes. Once you have applied a thin coat let each piece fully dry. This should take anywhere between 10 minutes and 30 minutes depending on he thickness of coating you have applied. Once the piece have fully dried check for any areas that appear to be uneven. If it is necessary continue to sand these areas with finishing sandpaper and repeat the priming step
Step 4 - Applying the Base Coat
Once you are completely satisfied with the finish of your primed pieces the next step is to apply the base coat. Try to purchase automotive exterior paint form your local auto supply store. This paint tends to work the best for painting car pieces. Its best to stay away from universal type spray paints. Once you are ready begin the painting process by applying several light coats. Wait at least 15 minutes between coats for best results. Its always better to apply several thin coats than a couple of thick coats. Once you have finished the base coat the next process is to let the pieces dry overnight so that they can properly cure.
Step 5 - Applying the Clear Coat
The second last step to take in painting your panels is to apply a good quality automotive clear coat to each of the pieces. The stage should not be overlooked as it will provide a super smooth and tough finish to each of your painted pieces. Once you have applied several coats of clear coat it may take several days before the pieces are properly cured. It is very important not to rush the drying process. The longer you let your pieces dry the better finish you will probably achieve.
Step 6 - Rubbing Compound and Finishing Wax
The final process for the painted pieces is to finish them off with a good rubbing compound. Simply apply the rubbing compound to a clean cloth and apply rigorously to the painted panels. Wipe off all excess compound and you are readying for the final step. The final step is to apply a single coat of good car wax. This will give your interior pieces an excellent mirror finish and great shine. Simply install the pieces back into place and your done!!!
