2015 Kia Soul "Offroad edition"

Also known as the Jeep Renegade

More and more Jeep are looking like grocery getters imo

 

I don't hate it...With that short wheelbase and a nice capable suspension system, it'll do just fine.
And a vintage gas can to boot.

 

Good luck convincing Teraflex to build a suspension lift on a Fiat 500XL platform.

 

It's a jeep...there'll be a suspension system for it.

 

Yeah I don't hate it either, I could see a friend of mine trading her Kia Soul in for it and us hitting some trails which would be awesome.

"This is an aluminum sub-frame which supports the front of the engine, radiator, and everything in front of the front axles. So to remove that control arm would probably be a thousand $ mechanic job and beyond the skills of most DIY'ers."

Technically they could but no way in hell would they still make one

 

Ugly. as. shit.

Yes, but it's a lowering kit.

I have no hate for this thing. It's certainly a step up over the previous pretend-crossovers like the Jeep Compass.

 

At least it will replace the patriot and Compass! Both of which were ugly and sucked off road.

 

That title though.... Very creative.

 

I like it, looks a lot better than the new cherokee.

 

I like the Cherokee better.

I thought, back in the day, Renegades were like off-road packaged Liberty's? My friend has one and it's pretty cool looking.
This literally looks like what the title says. It'll probably grow on me.

 

Nope, nope, and nope.

 

But is it REALLY a Jeep?
Is it something else with a Jeep badge pasted on it?

 

Good thing the tow hooks are red so the tow truck can find them easier.

 

Is this the Baby Wrangler? I heard they were coming out with some sort of baby wrangler. Jeeps are looking less and less rugged these days (my opinion).

 

All of these jeep crossovers look like they have absolutely no travel whatsoever. The Tires just hug the wheel wells too much

 

Its a fiat haha

Hope they bring the little diesel and 9 speed tranny over here. That'll shake things up.

This is a prime example of a company creating shit products and slapping a money-making brand label on them so that idiots will buy them.
