Both the latest Honda HR-V and the Jeep Renegade are two of the hottest compact SUVs around right now. While they both might have many similar features, the two compact SUVs are actually very different in terms of purpose. Today, we are going to get into the details of this.
Looking at the latest HR-V, the compact SUV is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that is mated to a CVT gearbox. This ensures that the HR-V can perform decently while also save a lot of fuel. The HR-V is simply ideal for city usage due to its low running cost and affordable price tag.
Then there is the Jeep Renegade. The 1.4L turbocharged engine and 6-speed automatics are not fuel efficient at all. However, the Renegade comes with 4WD mode that when engaged, will turn it into a monster on the unforgiving off-road terrain. Heck, the Renegade is the best off-roader in its segment.
Many consumers are making a mistake by viewing the latest Honda HR-V and the Jeep Renegade as something that is very similar to one another when apparently; both compact SUVs are actually very different.
This basically confirms that both the latest Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade are tailored for different purposes. So what is your pick?
