I see that Chrysler hasn??t picked up on the 4×4 backlash yet??Indeed, but Chrysler is working hard to prove that it??s not dead yet, and its latest offerings are three electric concept cars that will debut in Detroit at the start of 2008. And like nearly every concept these days all three are supposedly eco-friendly, with each car featuring a lithium-ion battery pack.
First up is the Jeep Renegade Concept, which teams its battery with a Bluetec diesel, meaning NOx-eliminating urea is pulsed into the exhaust system. The hybrid diesel apparently equates to more than 110mpg.
Unlike many Chelsea tractors, the Renegade is a two-seat, stripped-out 4×4 designed for proper off-roading. Not that there??s a large market for such a car these days, but expect some of the design to filter through to future Jeep products, especially as the company worries that its new Patriot and Compass offerings aren??t rugged enough for traditional Jeep buyers.
