Both the Honda HR-V and the Jeep Renegade are two of the hottest compact SUVs in the world right now. While they might share many similarities, both the HR-V and Renegade were made with different intentions.
The Honda HR-V, in particular, is made to be a great city compact SUV that offers superb reliability and a low running cost. This makes the HR-V perfect for the city dwellers and ideal for every use since the 1.5L 4-cylinder engine and CVT transmission it runs on returns great fuel economy.
The Jeep Renegade, unfortunately, is not fuel efficient at all. It runs on a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that is paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. There is nothing special about the powertrain except for the 4WD mode that comes with it.
When the 4WD mode is engaged, the Jeep Renegade becomes more agile and powerful. It basically allows the vehicle to tackle the unforgiving off-road terrain. The Jeep Renegade is easily the most powerful off-roader in the entire compact SUV segment.
