The Chinese-produced Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and Limited debuted at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. The Renegade is now manufactured at the new Guangzhou plant of GAC. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Co. (GAC FCA). IT will go on sale in China with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 2-liter engine.
The Jeep Renegade joins a lineup in China that includes the Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.
The Renegade launch is another milestone for the company following the announcement and implementation of local production for the Jeep Cherokee, which began at the GAC FCA Changsha plant on October 19, 2015. Local production of the Jeep Renegade further represents the accelerated growth of GAC FCA and the Jeep brand’s increased ability to compete across the increasingly crowded – oversupplied?- SUV market in China.
Sergio Marchionne, Chief Executive Officer of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. said, This is important step in our strategy to expand the Jeep brand’s global presence and, equally important, it represents a further strengthening of the joint enterprise with our respected and valuable partner here in China, the GAC Group.”
