![]() ![]() Nine-speeds really are the new black when it comes to transmission configurations (look to Mercedes-Benz on that front), but this is the first time we've seen one in a car of this ilk. Mated to that 2.4-litre petrol four-cylinder is the model specific nine-speed automatic transmission. ![]() This one lays claim to real off-road ability, rising from the gridlock of softies in the current domestic marketplace. Essentially, the others are soft-roaders. It's fair to say that it would need to, because we are talking about light SUV with one heck of a hefty price tag.Ĭentral to top-of-the-line status is the fact that the Trailhawk is the only Renegade to get AWD. The Trailhawk is the jewel in the Renegade crown, and it arrives packed with electro-goodies and classy equipment. Is it a case of style or substance? Does the Renegade tick all the boxes? It consists of the choice between two naturally-aspirated petrol four-cylinders – a base-model-only 81kW/152Nm 1.6-litre and a 129kW/230Nm 2.4-litre that is exclusive to the AWD Renegade Trailhawk tested here – and a 103kW/230Nm 1.4-litre turbo. Overall, Gridlock is an energy drink that's as uninteresting as any before it, but it is at least an improvement over the sugar free variant.Jeep's step into the light SUV segment hasn't been taken lightly. ![]() Each can contains: caffeine, several B vitamins, ginseng, taurine, and inositol. I had a good three hours of energy, and while jitters were caused, a crash was not. Gridlock gives a kick that's as decent as most. Surprisingly enough, while Gridlock is mostly your typical and pedestrian Red Bull clone, it shows a solid self restraint that results in a palatable experience not usually provided by such flavours. But to the drink's advantage, the flavour concludes soon after the previously described. Things aren't perfect, however, as the evolved apple taste suffers from an over sweetened and gummed abaft. The antecedent sourness withholds a sort of coy tartness that's faintly flavoured of vanilla, and the anterior taste is manipulated by the same chemical clout that effects the sourness that the vanilla resides within. The latter isn't necessarily more authentic or inspired, but it does have a certain vibrancy that gives the flavour a bit of a lively sense of excitement. ![]() The apple is initially mild and resembles mostly a rudimentary imitation of the fruit, but the more the apple becomes distinct and focused the faster it mutates into the pineapple. The former tastes much of apple, though as everything progresses it begins to mimic more of a pineapple. The flavour begins with gumminess and sourness, and both are chemically controlled and influenced. It meshes well with the black and silver colouring, both of which are used sparingly compared to the green. Gridlock comes in a can nearly identical to the aforementioned variety, and while I did just criticize the presence of green on the can, I do feel that it's a better fit for the design than the powder blue is. This shameless ploy to lure the untrained consumer is wildly practiced but nonetheless, it means that the company didn't attempt at intriguing someone by producing an interesting can design. Contrast to the light blue the sugar free variety used, Gridlock regular was given a bright green colour really for only one reason create a colour similarity between this generic beverage the well known energy drink Monster. ![]()
