Which SUV is better - Jeep Renegade Trailhawk or Jeep Renegade Limited?

Whether you want something adventurous or more luxurious, you'll find both in the 2016 Jeep Renegade. The Trailhawk and Limited editions are both higher editions of the popular compact crossover.

Performance

Renegade Trailhawk and Limited drivers enjoy Jeep’s exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission and the more potent MultiAir engine. This 2.4-liter unit generates 180 horsepower and can tow up to 2,000 pounds, when properly equipped. The Limited has front-wheel drive, but Jeep Active Drive is available. Specifically designed for smaller Jeeps, it is lighter weight than the Wrangler’s system. Still, it is considered extremely effective for difficult driving conditions. The key feature is a rear axle disconnect system. It seamlessly switches between regular two-wheel and four-wheel drive. A SelecTerrain system lets you tell the Jeep that it is encountering mud, snow or sand. While the Limited can take a little trail punishment, the Trail Rated Jeep is the Renegade Trailhawk. Active Drive Low allows the Trailhawk to enjoy a 20:1 crawl ratio.

Appearance

While the two Renegades look similar, the Trailhawk stands taller and has unique front and rear fascia. The Jeep gains .8 inches for extra greater ground clearance, and it has skid plates for protection. The exterior has fog lamps and heated mirrors. The Limited picks up rain-sensing wipers with a de-icer function. It has the largest wheels and sporty dual exhaust tips. The Trailhawk driver enjoys premium cloth seating and a seven-inch color instrumentation display. Choices include black with tangerine accents, bark brown and ski gray with tangerine accents, and sandstorm with cattle tan accents. Other standards include steering wheel mounted controls. Both editions have a 5-inch screen with a one-year satellite subscription, Bluetooth, and a media hub. The UConnect 6.5-inch touchscreen with navigation is a favorite option.

Safety

For safety, all Renegades have seven airbags. The body is built with crashforce absorbing features. Extensive electronics work to keep the crossover stable and to ensure traction on poor surfaces. UConnect Access can add a 911 emergency button for faster assistance. The standard rearview camera helps prevent common slow-speed mistakes. The advanced technology package, available on the Limited, adds forward collision warning plus and lane watch plus. You also get ParkSense Assist to make slow maneuvers easier.
