Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler than in the Jeep Renegade, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Wrangler offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Jeep Renegade, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The Jeep Wrangler requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Jeep Renegade, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Jeep Renegade is a better financial choice over the Jeep Wrangler, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Jeep Renegade is about the same width as the Jeep Wrangler. If you go with the Jeep Renegade, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Jeep Wrangler.

Handling
The Jeep Renegade has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Jeep Wrangler, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Jeep Renegade for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Renegade has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Wrangler.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Renegade doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Jeep Wrangler.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Renegade and the Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep Renegade has significantly less cargo capacity than the Jeep Wrangler.
