Find out how the Jeep Renegade compares to the Honda CR-V for
Philadelphia Drivers
There's no denying that crossover SUVs hold a lot of appeal for Philadelphia drivers these days. Boasting comparable capability to their midsize and full-size SUV brethren while neatly packaging their features and functionality in the compact form of a crossover makes these vehicles uniquely well-positioned to fit in the city, suburbs, and countryside. Here at Barbera Autoland, we're proud to carry a wide selection of Jeep Brand's latest vehicles, and though each and every model holds a place of high esteem in our showroom, there's no doubt in our minds that the Jeep Renegade is one of the best crossover SUVs on the market today for our Philadelphian customers. Of course, we wouldn't make a statement like that without some serious evidence to back it up, so if you'll indulge us, we'd like to show you how our Jeep Renegade stacks up against one of its closest competitors, the Honda CR-V.
Jeep Renegade vs. Honda CR-V in Philadelphia,
PA
- Pricing: We all know that living in Philadelphia is great, but at times, it can also be pretty expensive. So, if you're in the market for new car, you certainly don't want to break the bank. Luckily, the entry level MSRP for the Jeep Renegade is exceptionally economical, clocking in at just $18,990. Compared to the Honda CR-V's much higher entry MSRP of $24,695, the Jeep Renegade is a much more budget-friendly option. In fact, even as you range into its well-equipped Trailhawk trim, the Jeep Renegade tops out at $27,490 MSRP, while the top level CR-V Touring trim will make a markedly bigger dent in your budget at $34,295 MSRP.
- City-Friendly Size and Technology: One major difference you'll note right off the bat with these two crossovers is that the Jeep Renegade is significantly smaller, with a length of about 166.6 inches compared to the CR-V's 179.4 inches. Now in most cases, that would be a point against the Renegade, but for those of us living in the Philadelphia area, it's a major plus! We all know how difficult it can be to find parking in city, and with its compact stature, available Parkview Rear Backup Camera, and Rear Cross Path Detection, the Jeep Renegade can make quick work of even the most cramped parallel parking spaces. And with a greater width and height than the CR-V, you'll still have plenty of room for all the stuff you might want to haul along the way.
- Off-Road Readiness: Now, we all know that city life can be stifling at times, and many of us just want to get away to the country for a relaxing weekend of camping and hiking every now and then. And while many crossover SUVs may pay lip service to the ability to take on the terrain you might encounter in the countryside, few are actually capable of putting their money where their proverbial mouths are. Luckily, with its 8.7-inch ground clearance, Selec-Terrain traction control system, and 4x4 capability, the Jeep Renegade is always ready to handle whatever nature might throw at you, whether its rain-slick roads, icy paths, or well-worn muddy trails. Unfortunately, the even with all-wheel drive equipped, the CR-V only offers 6.7 inches of ground clearance, making it scarcely capable of taking on anything more challenging than a loose gravel road.
