2016 Jeep Renegade: Fun in a Box

This fun little crossover need not get overlooked or put in a box so to speak.  It is roomier than you would think by the looks and has plenty more to offer.

The cubist design helps Renegade provide a roomy interior considering its mere 166 inches of overall length. Even the back seat, whose leg room can get snug behind a tall driver, boasts arena-like headroom. There's also a useful, two-tier cargo bay that isn't pinched by swoopy metal-bending.  And that sort of daily practicality, which extends to comfortable handling around town and easy maneuverability in crowded parking lots, is important to a vehicle that carries the twin burden of competing with soft-roaders like the Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V while, at the same time, trying to uphold Jeep's bushwhacking reputation.

The latter is upheld primarily by the Trail hawk model, which shares Renegade billing with Sport, Latitude and Limited trims.  It offers backup camera and Renegade's four-mode -- Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud — Selec-Terrain 4WD system (Trail hawk adds a Rock mode).  The Latitude was powered by a 1.4-liter turbo four that mates exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. That gear box was delightful to row, finding its gates effortlessly, while the 160-hp blown four felt enthusiastic under a heavy right foot thanks to 184 lb.-ft. of torque.  Limited, on the other hand, which carries about 165 pounds of additional curb weight, has a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter, 180-hp I-4 and is coupled to a  nine-speed automatic — that engine's only transmission.

2016 Jeep Wrangler: The Last of Its Kind

The era of the classic jeep we have come to know and love has been rumored to come to an end. The Jeep Wrangler that has been in production since 2006, and although this new 2016 model is quite possibly the last of the long line of Wranglers, it is certainly one of the best the US market has ever seen.

The reason why Jeep may not be producing Wranglers anymore after this model year is because the design simply with not be able to compensate for all of the regulations regarding fuel economy, safety and noise. But no need to fear, the 2016 model is out and about and is the best Wrangler you has every laid eyes on. With modifications to the color scheme, engine, and running gear, the Wrangler is new and improved and ready for you. One of the many new luxurious new features available to you is an eight speaker audio system so that you can jam out to your favorite tunes while off-roading with your favorite people. Also, there is built in Bluetooth and Line-In connectivity available at your fingertips. 

This is sure to be the best Wrangler to date and though the 2018 year is rumored to bring a different name and style to what we currently known as the Wrangler, the classic will always be near and dear to our heart.
