Both the latest Honda HR-V and the Jeep Renegade have a lot of things in common. They are both beautiful and popular to the consumers. However, both the Renegade and HR-V are actually built for different things and today, we are going to highlight on that.
Starting with the Jeep Renegade, the compact SUV runs on a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It can engage into 4WD and together with Jeep’s off-road features, the Renegade has the ability to climb mountains and race on the mud trails.
This is something that is absent on the Honda HR-V. The latter is powered by a 1.5 L 4-cylinder engine which generates 170hp and 106ft-lbs of torque. The engine is mated to a CVT transmission with the aim of keeping fuel consumption at its minimum. As such, the HR-V is more ideal for general daily use due to its practicality and cheaper running cost.
With that being said, it is now clear that the Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade are two very different compact SUV. We hope that you will be able to easily decide between both vehicles after reading the above.
