Scheduled to hit U.S. showrooms before 2014 ends, the all-new baby Jeep spawned a limited run model that celebrates the Renegade’s launch. Even though it has been uninspiredly christened 'Opening Edition', the orange crossover is actually a pretty looking and practical off-roader.
So what’s there to be expected from the 2015 Jeep Renegade Opening Edition? For starters, it seems like it won’t be a Stateside only proposition due to the two turbo diesel powerplants available in the lineup.
Aside from the 1.6 and 2-liter MultiJet oil burners, another Fiat-sourced mill is on offer on the development website of the model - a 138 horsepower 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline unit mated to a six-speed manual box.
Oily bits aside, a limited edition Jeep is mostly about the aesthetic changes that add the most seizable sting to the custom flavoured model. First and foremost, exterior paint options are limited to Omaha Orange (pictured) and Bright White, the latter being a little too daft for an out-and-out lifestyle crossover such as the Jeep Renegade. 18-inch two-tone aluminium wheels wrapped in 215/60 rubber come as standard, along with a black or white accented roof, body-colored interior trim, dual zone automatic climatic control and rear parking sensors.
Leather seats with power adjustments on the driver’s side, power mirrors, a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav and a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring, as well as cruise control with speed limiter capability round off the standard equipment list nicely. Naturally, way too many Opening Edition badges are to be found both inside and out.
To sum everything up as simply as possibile, the 2015 Jeep Renegade Opening Edition is basically a generously kitted B-segment SUV described by the manufacturer as a “unique take” on the top-of-the-range Limited model.
