YOU'LL be hard pressed to find a desert within driving distance of your home, but if you want a car which is capable of dealing with one - or even the nearest sandy beach - Jeep reckons it has the answer.

It comes in the shape of the new, limited edition Renegade Desert Hawk version which follows in the tyre tracks of previous, ruggedly-named, macho special editions including the Night Eagle and Dawn of Justice versions.

Just 100 examples are available from UK dealers and they come with exclusive features such as 17-inch Low Gloss Black wheels, exclusive bonnet and rear body panel decals inspired, says Jeep, by the desert.

Inside, the Renegade Desert Hawk has exclusive seats in black leather and fabric with a Moab desert map logo on the seat base- with electric lumbar support for the driver. Other features include a leather wrapped steering wheel, dual zone climate control, DAB UConnect radio with 6.5-inch touchscreen, Live services, Bluetooth and satnav, seven-inch full-colour thin-film transistor cluster display and cruise control.

Power comes from a 170 hp, two-litre MultiJet diesel engine paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Priced from £28,995 it's available now in Alpine White, Anvil, Black or an exclusive new paint colour, appropriately called Mojave Sand.
