Jeep Renegade & Fiat 500X with a K&N Air Filter Get Better Throttle Response
- Jan 6, 2016
The 2014, 2015, & 2016 Jeep Renegade is a subcompact crossover SUV from Jeep. Although it is a Jeep, the Jeep Renegade BU is built in Melfi, Italy alongside the related Fiat 500X. Both vehicles share the Small US Wide 4x4 architecture platform. In a bold move for Jeep, the Renegade is the first Jeep model to be produced exclusively outside of North America. Engine options for 2014-2016 Jeep Renegade models, as well as the 2016 Fiat 500X, are also courtesy of Fiat. In the U.S. market the base engine is the 1.4L MultiAir turbo, with the 2.4L Tigershark Multi-Air engine and nine speed transmission available as an option. Outside of the United States, the 2014, 2015, & 2016 Jeep Renegade can be equipped with a 1.6L I4 E.torQ petrol engine, a 1.6L I4 MultiJet2 turbo diesel, or even a 2.0-litre L4 MultiJet2 turbo diesel under the hood. While any of these engines provide reasonable performance considering the small size of the Jeep Renegade BU, or the Fiat 500X, a K&N high-flow replacement air filter can help to provide better throttle response and quicker acceleration. A K&N high-flow replacement air filter is different from the factory or standard replacement air filter in that K&N uses cotton gauze filter media woven to exacting specifications. Cotton, by nature, is more breathable than the paper or sometimes foam media used in most automotive air filters.
The ability to get more air into an engine with less energy wasted on drawing in air can result in improved performance, quicker acceleration, and better throttle response. Fortunately K&N’s in-house air filter filtration efficiency testing, following the ISO 5011 protocol, ensures that K&N replacement air filters can provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Following this internationally recognized testing protocol, K&N replacement air filter 33-5034 was shown to provide a 98.59% overall filtration efficiency rating. Besides enhanced performance, a K&N replacement air filter offers years of reusability. The cotton air filter media and sturdy construction of K&N replacement air filters allow them to be washed and reused time and again. Cleaning can be easily performed using a readily available K&N Recharger air filter service kit. Most K&N replacement air filters are designed to install just like the factory air filter and without any need for modifications or fuel management changes. Plus K&N air filters are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty (1.6 million kilometres) and will pay for themselves over time.
