The latest Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade are two of the best compact SUVs right now but which one should you purchase? While both vehicles might share a lot of similarities with each other, they are actually tailored for different purposes.
Looking at the Honda HR-V, the vehicle is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that is mated to a CVT transmission. This allows the HR-V to generate decent power and more importantly, great fuel economy. With the HR-V coming out with an affordable price tag, it is ideal for everyday use thanks to the low running cost.
This is something that the Renegade can’t offer. The latter is powered by a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and it is not fuel efficient at all. The special thing about the Renegade, however, is the 4WD system. When engaged, it will allow the Renegade to take on the harsh driving terrains with ease. Heck, the Renegade is the best off-roader in the segment.
With that being said, it is pretty clear cut now on which compact SUV you should buy. If you wish for off-roading, then the Jeep Renegade is obviously the choice. Otherwise, you should stick to the Honda HR-V.
