Jeep took advantage of the date of the day 4×4 (one day late) to introduce the public to the company’s first connected vehicle, the Renegade. The model debuts the system created in partnership with the telephone operator Tim to offer Wi-Fi integrated into Stellantis cars.

Application with features

As at GM and Ford, Jeep will offer an app for smartphone that will connect to the vehicle. It will also be possible to access the features through a smartwatch.

With this, the owner has access, even at a distance, to information on autonomy, tire pressure, the next overhaul and even the possibility to lock or unlock the vehicle remotely. At the app, the owner will be notified in case of attempted theft.

The Adventure Intelligence application also has an intelligent navigation map that allows you to program a route and trip before using the smartphone and then mirror the information on the 8.4 “multimedia center screen.

The service also allows you to create parameters such as the Valet mode. With it it is possible to limit how far the car can run and if it leaves a pre-defined parameter, the owner will be alerted by the application. It is also possible to check which speed was reached by the car in that period.
