The French designer has an impressive resume having worked with GM, [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-gvan), and [Renault](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept) in the past. This collaboration is made possible by the result of Jeep and Citroën's efforts to bring the in-house vision to life. Both of the buggies share some commonalities, including the open-air design, unique styling, rugged interiors, and more. The Jeep Dune has a front-wheel drive configuration and the car is made for short urban traveling along with off-roading day trips. It is meant to be powered by an 8 hp motor and 5.4 kWh battery -- due to the size and battery, it is ensured 46 miles per charge.
