Crossover Comparison: 2020 Honda HR-V Versus 2020 Jeep Renegade

Discover How the Sporty HR-V Stacks Up Against the Competition

Drivers shopping for a new crossover SUV that boasts agile handling, impressive fuel efficiency and a roomy cabin will often look to the burgeoning subcompact crossover class for the ideal vehicle. Small crossovers like the 2020 Honda HR-V afford you with added cargo capacity compared to their sedan or even hatchback counterparts, while also providing a smooth ride, sharp handling and a more commanding view of the road.

The much-praised Honda HR-V is part of Honda's award-winning lineup of SUVs that has now been named the Best SUV Brand by U.S. News & World Report** four years in a row! Thanks to its refined exterior and interior design, versatile nature, a well-equipped cabin and affordable price, the HR-V remains a favorite among small crossovers.

Challenging Honda's 2020 HR-V is the 2020 Jeep Renegade, a model that certainly has its fans, too. While the Honda HR-V features a more sleek and sporty look, the Renegade opts for a rugged, off-road-inspired design that's reminiscent of other Jeep vehicles.

In this comparison review, we'll look at how these two subcompact crossovers differ, including in pricing, fuel efficiency, interior space and more. If you're shopping around the New Orleans, Louisiana, area, remember that the team here at Premier Honda is ready to assist with your crossover search. We have an array of new HR-V versions in stock that you can tour, test drive and compare to the competition!

HR-V Impresses With Its Efficiency, Space & Value

Start shopping and comparing the 2020 Honda HR-V to the 2020 Jeep Renegade, and you'll notice that the Honda offers the more affordable starting price, and also saves you money at the pump, thanks to its stellar fuel efficiency.

In the standard two-wheel drive (2WD) version as well as all-wheel drive (AWD) comparisons, the HR-V returns significantly greater EPA-estimated city and highway mpg than what any combination of the 2020 Jeep Renegade can muster. Not only is the new HR-V more fuel-efficient than its competition, but it also comes equipped with a larger fuel tank, which means it offers a greater total driving range by a wide margin.

Given its tall, boxy shape, you may be surprised to learn that the 2020 Jeep Renegade has a smaller cabin and lesser cargo-hauling capabilities than Honda's 2020 HR-V. The Honda makes excellent use of its interior volume, with smart features like its innovative 60/40 Split 2nd-Row Magic Seat® that lets you accommodate tall or long items with ease. The 2020 HR-V offers up to 58.8 cubic feet of cargo space, which is eight cubic feet greater than what you'll find in the Renegade.

Thanks to its longer wheelbase, rear-seat passengers will enjoy greater comfort in the Honda, as it boasts 39.3 inches of second-row legroom, compared to just 35.1 inches in the Jeep. From its lower starting price and its more fuel-efficient powertrain to its spacious and flexible cabin, there are so many reasons to put the 2020 HR-V ahead of its rival from Jeep!
