2020 Jeep Renegade vs. Its Competition

2020 Jeep Renegade
Brian León Brian León Contributing Writer

The Jeep Renegade is the off-roader of its class, but the Subaru Crosstrek gives it a run for the money with standard all-wheel drive and plastic body cladding.

The Subaru is also better to drive and has superior powertrain and safety tech.

Chevrolet’s Trax is the value option hands-down, and the Honda HR-V is perfect for those looking for maximum practicality in a city-friendly package.

Mazda’s CX-3 is small but stylish and fun to drive, while the Nissan Rogue Sport is just as stylish, at least on the outside.
