The Desert Hawk
Upon the Atreides arrival on Arrakis in 10,191 A.G., The Duke Leto Atreides came to believe that true power over the planet of Arrakis lay within the desert. As a result, the Desert Hawk developed significance, since the Atreides symbol had always been the Hawk.

Back in 2015, Jeep introduced the Jeep Renegade Desert Hawk Concept. The Desert Hawk featured a bunch of aftermarket Mopar / Jeep Performance Parts and made the Renegade into a desert adventure vehicle. The vehicle really was more of a highlight of the Mopar / Jeep Performance Parts catalog than a hardcore desert machine.
As recently as 2017, Jeep introduced the Renegade Deserthawk special edition. It brought the Desert Hawk Concept look to production. The Deserthawk only lasted for the one model year. This is only a small taste of what Jeep had in store for the brand.
Fast forward to the 2017 model year, Jeep introduced the Renegade Deserthawk special edition. It brought the Desert Hawk Concept look to production. The Deserthawk only lasted for the one model year. This is only a small taste of what Jeep had in store for the brand.
The next thing Jeep did was created the wicked Jeep Sandstorm Concept. Inspired by Baja desert racers, the Jeep Sandstorm concept was all about blitzing long, sandy straightaways while still being capable of handling the daily driving duties. To accomplish this, the Sandstorm featured off-road hardware that would handle both with ease, including an extreme-duty suspension system and a powertrain with excess power on tap.
Here is what we know. The first vehicle to be launched with the Deserthawk trim will be the Jeep Cherokee. The Jeep Cherokee Deserthawk will be launched in the first-quarter of 2020. The vehicle was teased during the 5-Year Presentation in Turin, Italy.
The Cherokee Deserthawk not only features revised front and rear fascias, but gets aggressive side sills, oversized BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s on what looks like OZ Racing rally monoblock wheels and a 2-inch lift over the standard Jeep Cherokee models.
Jeep has taken the wraps off a desert-inspired, limited edition version of its popular Renegade crossover SUV. Called the Renegade Desert Hawk, the new model, limited to just 100 in the UK, is based on the top-of-the-range Trailhawk edition, but comes with its own bespoke Mojave Sand colour finish.
The 2017 Jeep Renegade Deserthawk 4X4 is a unique, small, off-road vehicle that has great on-road manners. We found the Deserthawk to be a great value for those who want a vehicle that can tackle some dirt and mud on weekends, and in which they can still commute comfortably all week long.
Jeep also includes a multi-mode 4X4 system with a selector switch for every occasion. There are front and rear recovery hooks, waterproof floor mats and cargo area cover, and best of, a full-size spare tire and a robust toolkit. There are even rock rails to protect the sides of the Deserthawk.
The differences between the base Renegade and the Deserthawk are obvious inside. The seating is comfortable and leather-trimmed seats with the Deserthawk logo look and feel high quality. The seats are heated up front and this is one of the only FCA branded vehicles we have tested in years that had the seat heat controls separate from the infotainment. Great move. The steering wheel is also heated. Rear seating is limited. We would suggest that anyone shopping Jeep who plans to use the rear seat regularly, even for small children, move up to the Compass.
The cargo area in our Deserthawk was a small cube. Fine for groceries and daily items, but if you plan to be hauling hockey bags, golf clubs, or serious camping gear the Compas is the better small Jeep choice.

Fairly cheesy desert adventure with Yvonne De Carlo and the chosen leading man for this exotic pictures, the very British Richard Greene in Arabic gear. Certainly fun if you don't take it too seriously, but it did lack some key moments to really make it an adventure.
Evil Hassan returns to his native land of Ahad and plots to overthrow his twin brother Kasim (Gilbert Roland), who has just been crowned the Caliph. Hassan enlists the aid of the chief Chamberlain, Faud and they send several henchmen into the royal palace, who then knock Kasim unconscious, preparing to murder him. Kasim comes to and gets away, but has been wounded. Omar (Ben Welden), a beggar, takes Kasim to his home and nurses him back to health. Kasim finds a coat of mail with a great hawk emblazoned across the chest and promptly decides this is the costume he will wear while fighting to get back his throne. 15 CHAPTERS
In 2016, Jeep released a couple of limited edition versions of the Renegade: the Altitude and Desert Hawk. While the Altitude was so-so, the Desert Hawk really stood out as a model. Cool, unique, it helped the Renegade put Jeep further ahead of the compact SUV segment. Many sources say both the Altitude and Desert Hawk gave the other 4x4s a run for their money in the segment, and the Renegade Trailhawk trim is a truly capable vehicle. Since the Desert Hawk is essentially a limited edition version of the Trailhawk, the capability is similar. As is the design, but with cooler colors. 041b061a72
