In the US the Renegade will use a 1.4-liter turbocharged four cylinder as its base engine, making 150 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. It will be hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission. The larger engine, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, is mated to the brand?s nine-speed automatic and makes 184 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. Four-wheel drive is standard on every model, and customers who want more capability can get the Active Drive Low 4×4 system which includes a 20:1 crawl ratio. A disconnecting rear-axle is also included, which stays disconnected to save fuel economy, and reconnects to provide proper four-wheel drive. Jeep wants to be sure that the Renegade is seen as a real off-road vehicle, and will be offering it in Trailhawk trim to prove it. Every Renegade receives auto, snow, sand and mud modes, while the Trailhwak gets one extra exclusive mode for rocks.

Jeep says that the little SUV will wade into water that is 19-inches deep, and will be capable of towing a maximum 3,300 pounds with the small diesel engine offered overseas, or a total of 2,000 pounds with the 2.4-liter gas engine. Interior design takes many of its cues from other Jeep and Chrysler vehicles, and includes Uconnect infotainment with an optional 7-inch touchscreen in the center stack, a large passenger grab handle, anodized accents, soft touch materials and a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel and fold-forward front-passenger seat. A new system called MySky will be available to offer the classic Jeep open-air experience. Removable roof panels can be taken off and stowed in the rear cargo area to bring the outside in, while there will also be a power tilt/slide feature for those who don?t want to take them off by hand. This is the first Chrysler Group vehicle to use the small-wide 4×4 architecture, which will also be used by the upcoming Fiat 500X. Written by: Stephen Elmer at autoguide.com

General Manager Revs Up Customer Service at Cueter Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Ypsilanti, MI By Brigitta Burks General manager Steve Demers of Cueter Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge didn?t expect to go into the auto industry?but, it?s certainly worked out for him. Steve, who grew up in Monroe County, went to college to study accounting. However, ?I was taking a summer off and ran out of money,? he said. He applied for a job at a car rental agency to make some fast cash. This minor move turned into a career for him as the rental agency was owned by a major car dealer. "Things started rolling from there", he said. Steve moved into management quickly and also spent time in the finance division and car sales. Steve was promoted to service manager, although he was a little hesitant because he didn?t know much about how cars worked at the time. His boss told him, ?It doesn?t matter. You?re great with customers, you?re a problem solver and that?s what a service manager does.? Steve replied, ?Ok, let?s go.? Eventually, the commute became too much for Steve and he decided to move on. In 1998, he joined Cueter Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and moved up the ranks once more, becoming general manager in 2007. Cueter Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge remained successful even in the recession. Although the dealership, like everyone, downsized a bit, ?We didn?t lay anybody off. I?m real proud of that,? Steve said, crediting their quality customer service with bringing clients back even in tough times. "The first and most important thing is customer service. Everything follows after that. Then we got to be competitive when it comes to service, body, parts. Everything?s got to be competitive. You marry that with customer service and that?s a winning formula," he explained, adding the dealership also has a low turnover rate for employees. Steve said they had one customer who lost the keys to his van, which he needed to pick up relatives during a busy weekend. Steve and his team drove 25 miles to find the correct key copy. Steve then sent a technician to the customer's house to open his van and program the key. Later, he learned the customer had been a top Chrysler executive. "Nobody knew who he was, but that?s just what we do," Steve said, adding the executive sent a letter praising the dealership?s customer service. Community involvement is also important to Steve and Cueter Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge. They mostly participate in local grassroots charities, he said, listing the March of Dimes, The Boys & Girls Club, Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society just to name a few. Cueter also has a division to help people with ?bruised credit? purchase vehicles. Some of the top-sellers at the moment are the Chrysler 200, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Journey. ?The quality on these vehicles is world class,? Steve emphasized.
