Not sure if theres a thread about it, perhaps merge it.
Just saw of them drive together on the roads, all brand new probably en route to the dealership, they under R400 000 and look quite good.

Will do well in SA!
 
Fiat 500L with different skin, built in Fiat factory in Italy.
Reviews have the suspension on the Fiat version as better than the Jeep version.

They been out a while already.

The tail lights look crap. Looks like the designer wanted them removed by putting a cross over it and the manufacturers thought it's part of the design.
 
Overall it looks pretty shyte if you ask me.. it shouldn't be a jeep with the way it looks.
 
Jeep stopped being amazing with the Cherokee XJ.

The Wrangler (CJ - MacGuyver Jeep) will always be cool but here in CT it's more or less a gay emblem. I mean that non sarcastically - lots of homosexual men drive them, it's a thing.

The Cherokee XJ is just the most perfect Jeep probably that they'll ever make. They have nothing short of a cult following in the States and with good reason: comfortable, indestructible, power for days (4l straight six - the last great Chrysler engine) and a classic box shape that will never go out of style.

Every SUV on the road today owes it's existence to the XJ. It was the first, all others are copies.

There's some cars that if I see you driving it I assume you aren't the crumbliest cookie. Like the Datsun Go. This is another one of 'em.
 
Jeep Renegade faceliift to include three new engines

This is the first official image from Fiat Chrysler Automobile of the 2019 Jeep Renegade, due to make its world debut at the Turin motor show in the spectacular Valentino Park on Wednesday 6 June, at a spectacular launch event that will celebrate the loyalty of Jeep fans worldwide as well as Turin’s automotive heritage.

OK, it’s just a tail-light - and not a whole lot different from the current ones - but fortunately FCA has given us a little more to go on, saying that it’s revised-for-2019 B-segment SUV will have a new look and new engines.

The latter will include a 90kW one-litre turbo-petrol three and a 1.3-litre turbopetrol four, tuned for either 112kW or 134kW, offering better performance and lower fuel-consumption, it says, than the current 1.4 MultiAir turbopetrol and 1.6 E.torQ naturally aspirated petrol four.

There’s no mention of a diesel engine, so it’s possible this may be the first concrete result of Jeep’s promise to drop diesels from its line-up.

After the reveal on Wednesday there will be a world media launch in the second half of June; we’ve been promised more details then, so stay tuned.

Jeep Renegade 1.0 Longitude 2019 UK review

Should I buy one?

At £19,200 in Sport guise, the Renegade will seem temptingly good value for those already smitten by the styling, even if it remains an expensive option in this class.

However, the fact you can’t have this little 1.0-litre with four-wheel drive erodes the intrinsic appeal of the Renegade next to more comfortable, better-riding rivals – not least Citroën's C4 Cactus. As for handling, look either to Seat or Mini's Countryman instead.

Without the proper off-road hardware, the Renegade simply doesn’t do enough to stand out.
