2017 Jeep Renegade vs. Patriot: Size and Space
If you're comparing the 2017 Jeep Renegade and the 2017 Jeep Patriot, you're in luck! Both are two stylish SUVs filled with the ruggedness and personality you expect from the Jeep brand, and they're well-equipped with power and functionality. Similar in size, they both seat five passengers comfortably, but there are a few key differences:
- The Patriot has a slimmer profile - ten inches to be exact - so it's easy to park, but has slightly less hip room.
- The Patriot has more cargo space - 53.5 cubic feet versus the Renegade's 50.8 cubic feet.
2017 Jeep Renegade vs. Patriot: Engine Strength and Efficiency
When it comes to power from the engine, the Renegade comes out ahead. Its 2.4L I4 engine puts out up to 180 hp as well as 175 lb-ft of torque, compared to the Patriot, which provides 158 hp and 141 lb-ft of torque from the 2.0L I4 engine. Both operate with essentially the same EPA-estimated fuel economy of 30 MPG combined, so they're each winners in that category.
2017 Jeep Renegade vs. Patriot: Design and Style
The Renegade and the Patriot show off big differences in their design styles. The Renegade looks smaller and features a modern, sleek design that's been enormously popular. The Patriot has a chunkier look that is more of a throwback to the old Jeep Cherokee, and that's an appealing style, too. And, they're practically the same, affordable price, so you're truly free to choose the look that best fits your personality.
