Jeep Renegade inspired by the Warthog from Halo?
Yesterday we’ve posted about the three concepts from Chrysler which will debut at next year’s Detroit Motor Show. Among those was the Jeep Renegade concept, a four wheel drive sport hybrid, powered by a lithium-ion battery electric motor and a Bluetec diesel engine, which achieves an impressive 110 mpg fuel consumption. But that’s not what we wanted to talk about. One of our readers, torres9, showed us something really interesting. Here’s the Warthog, a vehicle from the popular video game Halo. Though there are a few differences, we have to admit that the designs are very similar and, fitted with a gun turret, the Renegade could easily replace the Warthog and no one would even notice.
If Halo’s Master Chief catches Cortana getting hooked on online poker, what do you think would his reaction be? I’m guessing not very different to what his reaction would be if Autounleashed reader torres9′s observation proves true.

Definitely, I mean the resemblance is overwhelming
It looks more like a Puma to me.
what is even more remarkable is the resemblance to the crysler weblog post on the topic…
This vehicle will be marketed to the same demographic that plays Halo anyway …
Yeah, except for the fact that the Warthog is slighly decent looking and the Jeep concept is just hideous.
Uh… You mean like the shoe company?
gah no! the halo warthog just looks like some run of the mill 80s dune buggy..
I see no resemblance at all other than both of them are pretty hideous.
“Renegade could easily replace the Warthog and no one would even notice.” Please dont tell that to Jeep.. otherwise you’ll end up with Jeep ‘warthogs’ in halo
in game marketing at its errr best.
i would want one only if they will mount a gun on it for me, or a rocket launcher… or rail gun…and it gotta have a radio and a place to plug in my ipod…
Today, we are proud to announce Halo 4, sponsored by Jeep!
There is no resemblance, other than they both have four wheels and sit high. You’d have no worse an argument for Craftsman’s nail gun being inspired by the Needler. Some people…
I remember back in 1999/2000 when Jeep had a similar physical concept so I think Halo might have copied Jeep.
To me the Warthog looks Jeep inspired and not the other way around.
It would be better if it looked exactly like it, then I would totally buy it.
Here is a little piece of info for you uneducated fools who dis the Hog. If you would bother to read the Halo series written by Eric Nylund. You would understand the actual base that the “HOG” has been built on. Every aspect of this machine is there for a reason. Again…uneducated people will assume that looks are everything. This vehicle “HOG” was built for an attack platform with no thought to what the “public” would want. Who gives a crap about some damn yuppie’s opinion of taste. This machine has 1400 HP with a hybrid waterproof diesel engine, 1100 ft pounds of torque, 4 wheel independent intelligent suspension, 2in battle plate armor with radar dispersing capabilities, 75 in 100 ply tires that have noco02 technology, bullet proof front shield, rear mounted interchangeable rail gun/guass cannon. Able to withstand an insane amount of damage before it even starts to whine. LOL…There isnt an auto maker that could even come close to Nylund’s dream of this machine. Hell there inst an auto maker that can make a car that will last 150,000 miles “save toyota” and even they are made of paper. That jeep is a pretty little toy made for the domograph that would buy a machine like …says a Hummer. Can you says soccer mommy. If someone actually makes a machine that is even close to the Warthog..I will be having one.
What in sam’s hell is a puma’?
That’s nothing like it!!!
Where’s the turret, seriously?
More like a Chupa-thingy…
Donut:
I think I’m the first to get your joke.
Hilarious! haha RVB rocks!
So, unless anybody has any more mythical creatures to suggest for the name of the new vehicle, we’re gonna stick with, the “Warthog”. How about it Grif?
Didn’t I tell you to quit making up animals?
Thought i’d post my opinion, if the jeep renegade can pump out a machine as advanced, and badass as the hog, you’ll all be in deep s**t as I chase you down in one.
either way… GIMME!
The New Jeep: Chupacabra.
Donut lol …
…shieeellaaaa!!111

@MIke
You’re an idiot. Before you start bitching about how ‘uneducated’ everybody is, take an English course (or two) and spend a couple of hours on your spelling.
this drawing is based on the jeepster concept, which i think was a design that was created before halo 1.

NERD Alert!!!
@Blackhouse
Quit hating, who gives a s**t how well the man can spell, I understood what he was trying to say and I think every one else did too. Sorry if I haven’t puncuated this COMMENT right, wouldn’t want to offend anyone. Grow the hell up.
Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate….don’t you have something better to do.
Btw my halo clans name is Hatakillas…lawl
Mirk,
Right on bro!! The only people I can’t stand are intolerant people!! Well them and the Dutch of course.
You watch, next they’llbe sending them to Iraq and Afganistan to be used by the Yanks. A Chance possibly to enlarge the consumer base… yeh, like they’d want to buy American vehicles over there.. but you kno yanks, they’d try anything!
Dont tell me Microsoft bought Crysler?!

Hummers are built to last over 300,000 miles. Even the H2. The H3 is only around 200,000, but all three are fairly bulletproof, even off road. Get you facts straight, dumbass.
The all new warthog, WARTHOG v2 from halo, MC v2 coming soon from jeep.
That Jeep looks nothing like a Warthog. A Warthog is a lean mean fighting machine, and that Jeep looks like one of those little battery powered plastic cars that a 4 yr. old would drive.
…idiots
“Hummers are built to last over 300,000 miles. Even the H2. The H3 is only around 200,000, but all three are fairly bulletproof, even off road.”
Note to self: Cars become easier to shoot through when not on a road.
One other similarity between these is the steering. I know the warthog in halo has all wheel steering, and I believe the Renegade (at least one edition) has some pretty crazy all-wheel steering features. Could be that the Renegade was inspired by the warthog a bit…or it could be that the developers who thought up the warthog were thoughtful enough about it that they actually sort of saw where things might be headed in general.
this jeep renegadee is awesome
hey Kayla
i still cant see anything come here
Naaa… can’t be a warthog… no .50 cal on the back of it
otherwise, could be
it has tusks like a warthog

Actually you guys; you are both wrong. My 1999 Ford Explorer Limited is living proof that there are automakers that make cars that last 150K miles. That automakers name would be FORD (and Jeep). My good friend owns a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic that has even more miles than mine does. By the way… We’re going for 200,000+ and we’re not stopping until we get there. IT WILL BE DONE!
Definitely the Chupathingy
Besides, if Halo copied Jeep, why does theirs look so much better?
In response to donut. I don’t know, I kind of this it looks like the chupathingy.
