On the occasion of its “reveal” last year, the Jeep Renegade e-Hybrid marked the beginning of a decisive step in the electrification of the Stellantis group. The urban SUV of the Toledo brand had the privilege of inaugurating the new “mild-hybrid” 48V engine from the Franco-Italian-American transnational.
The Renegade e-Hybrid is now arriving on the Moroccan market to offer an ecological alternative to the only engine that has been marketed there until now, the 1.6 l Multijet turbodiesel.
This e-Hybrid version uses a four-cylinder 1.5 turbo petrol Miller cycle (the equivalent of the Atkinson cycle for supercharged engines), a type of engine offering higher thermodynamic efficiency than a conventional block (known as an Otto, or Beau de Rochas), better energy efficiency. Under the hood of the Renegade e-Hybrid, it is associated with a 15 kW three-phase synchronous electric motor (just over 20 horsepower) attached to the 7-speed dual-clutch robotic transmission and powered by a 0.8 kWh battery. . The set develops 130 hp and a maximum torque of 240 Nm.
Credited with rather good performance (Vmax of 191 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds), better than those of the Diesel variant (178 km/h and 10.2 s), which nevertheless has of the same power and 80 Nm in rab, the Renegade e-Hybrid consumes 6.1 l/100 km on average. The honor is except for the Renegade Diesel, which is content for its part with a mixed consumption of 5.0 l/100 km.
A great introductory offer
At low speed or during parking maneuvers, the light hybrid version of the Renegade activates the all-electric mode. This is what distinguishes him the most from his “100% thermal” brother at the wheel. For the rest, the driving experience is broadly similar and we find what makes Jeep and its Renegade a brand and an urban crossover like no other, starting with an unspeakable spirit of adventure, cultivated for eight decades and symbolized by the essential grille with 7 vertical slots.
The newcomer’s exterior look and interior presentation won’t faze regulars in the least. We are on familiar ground. Ditto with regard to the provision of equipment; it’s more or less that of the most upmarket version of the Renegade Diesel: opening and starting without keys, central 7-inch touch screen offering Bluetooth connectivity and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto duplication, active cruise control, start-up assistance uphill, emergency braking assistance, blind spot and rear presence detection systems, etc. The Jeep Renegade e-Hybrid is displayed from 313,000 DH for the launch offer.
