There was a lot of debate when the Cherokee was released about whether or not the quintessential American SUV maker was cut out to leap into the popular (and saturated) crossover segment. That schism has been solved as far as that model is concerned, but it has cropped up anew with the new 2015 Renegade.

For a brand known for creating some of the most potent off-road vehicles around, it may seem counter intuitive to place a small crossover like the Renegade in that category. But as fate would have it, the debate has been settled yet again, even before the new model hits dealership lots.

Just watch how well it handles in the outback in this video below.

Whether you're looking for a crossover or SUV, the new Jeep brand lineup offers no shortage of models. If you're waiting for the Renegade to arrive here in Marshall, TX, you don't have long to wait. It'll be here in March.
