Limited edition Jeep Renegade Desert Hawk goes sandboarding

British board-rider and instructor Alex Bird helped mark the launch of the Renegade Desert Hawk by becoming the first participant in his sport to be towed by a car in the U.K. In extreme conditions, the Jeep Renegade once again displayed its famous off-road capabilities, helping Alex to reach speeds of 64km/h and negotiate several grind rail stunts, jumps and 27m sand banks.

Following in the tyre tracks of the popular Night Eagle and Dawn of Justice versions, the new Desert Hawk will carry on the Jeep Renegade tradition of introducing new and exciting variations as it builds on its reputation in the U.K. More than 11,000 Jeep Renegades were sold in the country last year.
