Jeep displayed two concept vehicles at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, both based on the soon-to-be-released Renegade compact SUV.
As the name implies, the Trailhawk is outfitted with off-road hardware, and also gets distinctive interior and exterior treatments. Commando Green paint is joined by grey and red accents both inside and out, along with a map of Detroit emblazoned on the hood. Making the Trailhawk more capable when the pavement ends are hardware modifications that include skid plates underneath and rock rails at the sides. The roof hosts cross rails and a roof basket for hauling gear.

Katzkin leather covers the seats, and authentic Jeep accessories include carpeted floor and cargo mats along with Jeep logo door sills.
