The latest Honda HR-V and the Jeep Renegade might belong in the same compact SUV segment but both vehicles are never alike to each other.
This is because the HR-V is developed to be an affordable, reliable and practical compact SUV whereas the Jeep Renegade is made to be a compact SUV with powerful off-roading performance.
In detail, the HR-V came out running on a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that is mated to a CVT gearbox. The powertrain is designed to ensure that the HR-V remains fuel economical at all times and this makes it an ideal vehicle to drive on a daily basis.
The Renegade, on the other hand, does not offer a cheap running cost but it does come with a 4WD lever. When engaged, the Renegade will be able to run on muddy trails with ease.
