The last time we heard anything about Jeep's smallest model in America – the charmingly quirky Renegade subcompact crossover SUV – it was catering to Old Continent habits with "a new elegant yet fun-to-drive version" called the Upland special edition.
Alongside the Compass Upland, they were only offered in 4xe plug-in hybrid versions with 240 ponies under the hood because Europe is all about new-age powertrains these days. That wasn't bad at all, given the high hp count and the all-electric range provided by the 11.4-kWh battery pack. In America, the Renegade kicks off at $28,345, making it the most affordable Jeep on offer by a minuscule margin when compared to the Compass. Still, unfortunately, only the 1.3-liter MultiAir inline-four turbo engine is offered to customers.
Instead, the 4xe is currently reserved solely for the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee – meaning the US-spec Renegade has a power deficit compared to the European version. But what if that didn't matter because the Renegade could also milk Stellantis' 2.0-liter GME T4 Hurricane of its 268 horsepower and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque without even involving the heavy PHEV elements? Well, that may not be possible in the real world, but anything can and will happen across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators.
And there's no need to take our word for granted, as we have a proper example of a pixel master falling head over heels with Stellantis latest attraction – the cool yet rugged Ram Rampage unibody pickup truck built in Brazil for South American markets, a model that will probably teach the third-gen Chevy Montana a lesson or two in sales humility. Anyway, here's Kleber Silva, the Brazil-based virtual artist known as KDesign AG on social media, who has decided to have a CGI go at imagining an unlikely Jeep Renegade Rampage. And we have to say, it's not the best idea he had based on the Ram Trucks model, but it is undoubtedly the quirkiest to date.
And there have been a few attempts at securing the oddity crown, for sure. Since it was unveiled, the Ram Rampage morphed at the touch of his CGI brush into an entire series of vehicles – a Ram Rampage EV plus Ram Rampage Fastback CUV and seven-seat Commander-style SUV, for instance. And then there were all the other Stellantis-based derivatives like the Fiat Toro Rampage, Peugeot 2008 Rampage, and now also the representatives from Jeep.
That's plural because there's more than one. For starters, the Jeep Renegade unibody compact pickup truck – which looks decidedly ready to challenge the North American establishment – was dressed in a stylish and sporty R/T (road and track) variant inspired by Dodges, of course. Secondly, there is also the Ram-inspired Rebel version for those who only seek a life of CGI adventure. And if the Renegade name doesn't cut it for a Maverick and Santa Cruz fight, how about rechristening it to 'Jeepster?' So, which one is your favorite, if any?
