It's really hard to say what dimensions of the production model will be like looking at this and basing it off of this. What matters with this test mule is everything we can't see.

For all we know the Renegade shell could be inches longer and an inch or two wider.
BUT at least seeing this we get an idea of approximately how big it will be.

 

I think this photo does give you a better idea of what the ride height will be like with the Renegade. Its kinda impossible to tell from the picture what the dimensions will be though. The Fiat shell they are using has a short hood it looks like. The Renegade could be using something longer than that. At least I can see it in my head having a longer hood.

 

Definitely hard to say what dimensions will be like. For all we know there might be a 1 foot gap from the bottom of the windshield to where the top of the dash starts!

 

Jeep CEO Mike Manley said the baby Jeep will be 4.2 meters (165 inches) long, so 16 inches shorter, bumper to bumper, than the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. To put that in perspective its the size of a 1987 Cherokee XJ.

 

Recent spy shots suggest that it is a tad bit smaller than a Patriot

Which is larger than I expected but not a bad thing

Here it is beside the alfa giulietta to compare.

 

Good photo to compare as we can pull dimensions off the alfa to get a better idea

 

dimensions based off the wikipedia page for the Giuliette

Wheelbase 2634mm (103.7 inches)

Length 4351mm (171.3 inches)

Width 1798mm (70.8 inches)

Height 1465 mm (57.7 inches)


Also a good comparison is to look at the Fiat 500L dimensions. (also from wiki)

Wheelbase 2612mm (102.8 inches)
Length 4140mm (163 inches) / 4350mm (171.3 inches) Living model
Width 1780mm (70.1 inches)
Height 1660mm (65.4 inches)

 

Going off the 500L specs is a good thing to do, good point to start from, just need to remember that the Renegade will be a bit bigger.

 

it may change a bit but its based off the same platform so dimensions should be similar.

 

yeah ideally it shouldn't be more than a few inches bigger, but even that makes a big difference

 

Being a Jeep I don't think its a big problem for it to be bigger. It doesnt have to be as small as the Fiat. That isn't what Jeep customers want in my opinion.

 

I've got the Official Renegade dimensions here. Its bigger than a Juke in every dimension to use that as benchmark...

WHEELBASE:
101.2 in

LENGTH:
166.6 in

WIDTH:
71.0 in

HEIGHT:
66.5 in

 

Just for fun I mashed a 2014 Cherokee & Renegade rendering from the Car & Driver overview.

 

I have registered just to post this pic of renegade with dodge Durango, I think in back

I thought the old Cherokee was larger than that. One of my favorite vehicles that I never owned. I looked it up and you are right. http://autos.aol.com/cars-Jeep-Cherokee-2001-Classic__4dr_4x4/specs/. Surprised. I guess the baby Jeep is a big baby by subcompact car standards.

Interesting that the Cherokee classic and Renegade both have undersized second row doors.

Yes, the numbers are right out the original brochure, I still have it.

 

oh that is interesting... everywhere makes renegade seem so tiny...

 

I read a review somewhere yesterday where the author said the Renegade feels larger in person than it appears in photos.

This tiny Fiat man makes it look even bigger.

 

Greenjp, that is a great Jeep. And I dig the color too.
