Jeep Continues to Impress

What if I told you a vehicle could take on an Olympic event.  Ok, not only take on an event but actually complete an Olympic course.  I hear the doubts already creeping through your mind.  It happened folks.

The Jeep Renegade is the off-road brand's smallest offering, but clearly, that lack of physical footprint doesn't correlate to a lack of capability. To prove this, Jeep put an Olympic snowboarder behind the wheel of a very slightly modified Renegade, which the athlete drove up and down the rafting course at the Cardiff International White Water Centre in Wales.  The water doesn't appear too crazy-deep, as it only gets up to the bottom of the Renegade's front fascia. Nevertheless, Jeep added drain holes in the footwells and raised the airbag's ECU by half an inch.

The stunt is impressive to watch. It’s also impressive no other automaker has tired this before, making the Jeep Renegade the first vehicle to ever attempt the feat. The Renegade might not be the most capable Jeep in the stable, but it’s far more capable the large majority of crossovers in the market today.  It comes with the optional Active Drive Low 4WD system, which give the driver high- and low-range gears for trudging through mud or snow. Speaking of different terrains, the Renegade comes with Jeep’s Selec-Terrain traction system, which adjust the traction control and ABS systems for environments that include snow, sand, mud, and rock.
