Jeep Renegade Hard Steel: Brushed For Geneva

If manufacturers want their car to shine on the European market, the obvious choice is to launch it at the Geneva International Motor Show; if you can manage a world premiere, that's even better.

This timing isn't perfect for Jeep. Its newest vehicle, the Renegade, is already well-known by the journalistic community: we already test-drove the 2015 Jeep Renegade and we are pretty sure it will be very successful.

So how to get the attention of the thousands of show-goers at Geneva? FCA just hatched a cunning plan. At the Jeep booth, we will be able to see the Renegade Hard Steel, which differs from the standard Renegade in a number of key components: first of all, there's no paint on it, only its brushed steel bodywork is displayed. The small SUV also boasts 16-inch wheels with huge off-road tires, a lifted suspension and a protective skid plate.

The other interesting feature is not on the Jeep, but rather behind it: in the above pictures, we can see that the Renegade is towing a small trailer that looks suspiciously like its own back end. Inside, we can see a huge TV and a WiFi connection point, which will enable users to connect to the Internet from wherever they are.
