| ![]() +1 that this should be top of the list for single guys. I myself being one, am eagerly waiting for this one, but looks like it will be at least a year before it gets launched :( |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The Renegade may just be the 4x4 offroader which can replace the Gypsy well as it has a short wheelbase and a good engine. Let's hope Jeep is able to price it under 12 lacs when they launch. |

| ![]() Renegade looks like the perfect little brother of Wrangler. This is what Thar should have been like instead of being a bare bones off roader. |

Anyway, M&M still have an opportunity to make amends when the next gen Thar is launched in the near future. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that the Mahindra in-house design team don't make a porridge like it happened with the TUV300. | |

Also came across with this disturbing review on paint quality of Jeep while browsing reviews: | |

Reg: Renegade - Only one concern - hope they bring in the TH. Otherwise, it's gonna be difficult to take on competition. With the Trail Hawk they will have the USP of a capable off-roader. | ||||

In the foreseeable future (next two years), I see only Renegade being launched among capable C-SUVs and thankfully Jeep had been doing lot of testing on Indian roads for a long time now. It has a very youthful design, good interiors (Duster is worst in this dept), best in class off-road capability for occasional weekend tours, enough grunt for highway cruising and Jeep branding all under 14lacs. Should be a hit among urban youths. Someone earlier predicted a March '18 launch, hope it's true. ![]() | |

| ![]() My guess, we *may* get the Sports 2wd at 14, something like the compass, and the trail rated (if it comes, *IF*) at 18 or 20 even! Who knows what's cooking at Jeep. |

| ![]() After going through the interesting pricing of Compass, Can we expect JEEP to price Renegade under cutting Creta with a starting price of base petrol around 9.99 L :-) ? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I feel the Compass is already based on the Renegade & The Renegade itself is a pretty premium offering. At least in the EU etc. So the price you mentioned is quite optimistic & will devalue the JEEP brand. They shouldn't bring it so low if they want to maintain their brand's status. Its a very tough juggling job. |

Ecosport, Brezza, Nexon are Economy grade / mass market cars. Jeep is a premium brand. One mistake of incorrectly placing the brand in a segment has ripple effects on the brand value that affect their costly products also. Check Tata HEXA. Its a premium product, but nobody accepts the premium-ness as it is from an economy brand. Last edited by Reinhard : 16th August 2017 at 19:22. | |

| ![]() Are the Renegade and the Compass based on the same platform? Sometimes it's a little confusing to make out how manufacturers derive the platforms! For example, is the Jeep Compass that is sold in the U.S based on a Fiat XL platform or is it completely different from the one being made in India and being exported to all RHD markets? I'm just trying to understand what kind of quality levels we can expect in the Renegade. The Compass is surely very well built and has fit and finish that is at par with one or 2 segments above. |

| ![]() I saw the Renegade on a recent trip. It looks really awkward. It is small-ish, looked like it was created on a budget, and appeared more Mahindra than Jeep. Or, in one word, uncool. I don't think it is going to appeal to many here. |
