The Honda HR-V was launched last year and it has been one of the bestselling compact SUV around. This is not surprising as the HR-V came out with a nice design, decent engine, decent performance and more importantly, an affordable price tag.
In detail, the Honda HR-V is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that is mated to a CVT transmission. Such a pairing ensures that the Honda HR-V is excellent in returning great fuel mileage. Also, it makes the compact SUV more appealing for an everyday vehicle.
Then there is the Jeep Renegade, which made its debut late last year. Despite being a compact SUV like the HR-V, the Renegade is not quite the fuel saver. The vehicle is powered by a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Also, the Renegade is not best for everyday use. The compact SUV comes with a 4WD system that is developed by Jeep. This goes to say that the Renegade’s plus point is with its off-roading capabilities.
With that being said, it should be clear to the consumers that the HR-V is ideal as a general vehicle. The Jeep Renegade, on the other hand, should fit the needs of those that require a great off-roading vehicle.
