To find out, Ginn Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram has provided the 2015 Jeep Renegade vs. Honda HR-V comparison below!
Jeep Renegade
The 2015 Jeep Renegade features a distinct design that may look different from its siblings in the brand's lineup, but don't let looks fool you. It still delivers the Jeep performance you know and love. A 2.4-liter Tigershark® four-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 31 highway mpg powers it. A 1.4-liter Multi-Air Turbo engine is also available to achieve 160 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 31 highway mpg.
As a true Jeep, the Renegade comes with two 4x4 drive systems: Jeep Active Sport and Jeep Active Drive Low. With Jeep Active Sport, there's a rear axle disconnect system that can shift between two- and four-wheel drive to help you get through adverse road conditions and optimize fuel economy.
With Jeep Active Drive Low, you'll get a 20:1 crawl ratio as well as other performance technologies on top of the rear axle disconnect system mentioned above to promote stability and driving confidence when taking an off-road adventure. On top of that, the Jeep Renegade comes with Selec-Terrain® to configure the traction settings to better travel through snow, sand, mud, and rock.
In terms of interior space and convenience, the Jeep Renegade offers the Uconnect® infotainment system for navigation, entertainment, and Bluetooth® connectivity. It also has 100.1 cubic feet of passenger volume, a maximum of 50.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and an array of convenient cargo features such as 40/20/40 split folding seats.
Honda HR-V
The Honda HR-V is an entirely new vehicle for the Honda lineup. A 1.8-liter engine that produces 141 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 32 highway mpg powers it. With the engine is the available All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control Systemâ„¢ to provide a capable performance.
The Honda HR-V is equipped with the HondaLink® Next Generation infotainment system that can access a navigation system as well as numerous entertainment features for the road ahead. Inside, you'll also have 96.1 cubic inches of interior volume and a maximum of 57.6 cubic feet of cargo room.

Based on the details above, it's clear the Honda HR-V and the 2015 Jeep Renegade are two very different vehicles. Through their infotainment systems are similar, their performances contrast. The Honda HR-V offers an economic driving experience, but the Jeep Renegade provides more impressive capabilities and power with both engine options and 4x4 drive systems to help get you to where you need to go with ease.

The Jeep Renegade offers a comfortable 100.1 cubic feet in passenger volume so you have room to stretch out without feeling cramped.
