TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Chevrolet Trax, Chevy’s smallest utility vehicle, is straightforward: it’s plain on the outside but practical inside, not particularly fast but adequately fuel-efficient.

The 2018 Jeep Renegade mounts a spirited defense of its brand bona fides, but delivers a less convincing impression of a great economy car.

TCC Likes

Versatile, spacious interior
Seats four actual adults
Does well in safety tests

Looks like a real Jeep

TCC Dislikes

Generic styling
Acceleration lacking
Base LS model is truly plain

Not a five-seater
Too-snug rear seat
