Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Jeep Renegade than the Kia Seltos. The Jeep Renegade offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Kia Seltos, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Kia Seltos 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). The Jeep Renegade is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Seltos.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Renegade is much wider than the Kia Seltos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. The Jeep Renegade is slightly shorter than the Kia Seltos, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Jeep Renegade has the same turning radius as the Kia Seltos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Renegade does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Seltos.
