Hi,

Just learned from Jeep Canada a disapointing news actually, the Renegade will not be part of Montreal Auto Show starting this friday Jan 16... It will be however revealed in Toronto Auto Show (Feb)

I was just exited to go to the Montreal Auto Show to have a close look, sit in it and discuss it with my wife...

We will do that in the Subarus... Toooo bad for Jeep

I just got the same answer from them on Twitter. Bummer. No real point in going now...

On the bright side, I get to sleep in on Saturday!

Should be available at dealers Q3 2015 in Canada per their twitter. Sigh.

If that's not a typo they likely won't be selling one to me...

Q3 and still be a 2015 model! Wow this will be strange indeed

Well if they had to choose between the two I understand why they chose Toronto instead of Montreal. I imagine that it gets a better attendance than the Montreal show.

That's not really an excuse... there is a whole month between the 2 events. If it's not at the Montreal show it's because they don't have one to show.

Or they just don't think it is worth going to because it isn't the biggest auto show.

That sucks for those in MTL, still, I think that's a bad move on Jeeps part for not having it in Montreal especially for the obvious reasons.

I think I'll still go to the show anyway. Actively looking at 2015 Juke to replace my 97 Civic winter car. Test drove the Juke last week at -34c on the 4 season OEM tires, I was amazed (VERY) by the AWD & the AWD torque vectoring system, under acceleration, braking hard etc....Too bad Renegade isn't out yet, had i seen her in person, I could have "perhaps" been more hesitant..

If you go to the Montreal International Auto Show homepage, Jeep is listed as attending.
Whether they are bringing the Renegade or not is a different story. As stated above it appears the Renegade will not be there.

No Renegade... but the 500X is there.

Go figure.

It is not at the Toronto show because it is at the Detroit, Michigan (USA) show. Open to Public Jan.17th - 24th 2015.

I went to the Mtl autoshow. Saw the 500X, Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3, (though I just purchased a 2015 Juke).

The 500X was nice, could not get to see the interior well enough. I have to admit though, the CX-3 was very very nice and the interior as great, by far no.1 for me in styling. I think she'll be super hot, but the AWD system is not one I know of in terms of getting the job done in rough winter conditions. Apparently, it sort of a "on demand" system to save fuel etc... not a fan of those personally.


I was very disappointed that there was no Renegade, but I did get to see the Alfa 4c, cool car !

I believe the Renegade in "Auto" terrain mode is exactly that... FWD until it detects slip. It then engages AWD within 5 milliseconds and away you go.

Indeed, at least you get to select a "mode". The CX-3 has no mode, no selections to make, that's what I'm not a fan of. I like to have that kind of control if I purchase a AWD , 5 miliseconds notwithstanding !
