The Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade might be two of the latest and most popular compact SUVs around. However, consumers should not be fooled by their similarities as the HR-V and Renegade have completely different purpose.
The Honda HR-V, in particular, is developed to be a cheap to own and cheap to run compact SUV. This is evident with the HR-V’s 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that is paired to a CVT transmission which offers great fuel economy. It also makes the HR-V a truly remarkable compact SUV to own.
Then there is the latest Jeep Renegade which is powered by a 1.4L turbocharged engine while being paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. No, the Renegade is not a fuel savvy vehicle but it does come with a 4WD-mode. When engaged, the Renegade turns into a dirt trail monster.
In other words, the Jeep Renegade is the perfect vehicle for off-road enthusiasts. It is powerful, sophisticated but not cheap for daily use. For a more general vehicle, then we advise getting the Honda HR-V.
