This limited-run model celebrates Loki’s launch on Disney+
When a model gets a little old, the automaker will keep producing special editions to keep it competitive in a market. It’s been around seven years and has recently been produced in limited numbers. We have seen the Bronze Edition from Mexico and the Islander from the USA. Now, it is coming to Italy. After Italy’s Renegade hyper launched in 2018, to celebrate Avengers: Infinity War’s release, Jeep and Marvel Studios have teamed up again for a clean-up subcompact crossover. It’s called “The Renegade Impulse” and has a Loki badge at the rear to announce the launch of the Loki series. It premiered on June 9, and there will be six episodes in the first season. The third and fourth have already aired, while the final one will air on June 30.
It is based on the Limited trim, and comes in two versions: the 130-horsepower turbodiesel or the 4xe with the plug-in hybrid powertrain of 190 horsepower. AWD is only available for those who are interested as the MultiJet-powered version has a front-wheel drive layout. Loki’s Renegade Impulse comes loaded with features. It includes a Function Pack that includes a keyless system and electric-folding heated rearview lenses. There is also a cargo drawer under its front seat. Jeep Italy includes an auto-dimming mirror and a waterproof, reversible cargo floor mat. The vehicle rides on 18-inch wheels, and has remote window control. In the cabin, a seven-inch touchscreen is available and dual-zone climate control is provided.
The Renegade is Jeep’s current smallest SUV, but that will change when a tiny model will be introduced to the lineup. The Compact Modular Platform (CMP), which was developed by PSA Peugeot Citroen, will be used to transport it. It is expected that the engines will also be inherited from the platform. A hybrid version will have a combustion engine driving the front wheels, and an electric motor driving the rear axle. We also hear that Alfa Romeo and Fiat will get their own versions of the baby Jeep.
