The Jeep Renegade is best considered as a mini ‘ute with off-road talent, which also describes the Subaru Crosstrek.
The Subaru is more comfortable and versatile but lacks the butch look of the Jeep.
The Chevy Trax is treading water and knows it; the Ford Ecosport is in the same boat but doesn’t know it.
The Honda HR-V is due for a rethink, but it steers more toward hatchback versatility.
The Nissan Rogue Sport is a good pick for its low base price but lacks the interior refinement of its rivals.
