2016 Jeep Renegade vs Wrangler
Serving Chattanooga, Cleveland, Red Bank, Hixson, TN
The Jeep name has long been synonymous with tough, durable vehicles, ready to take their drivers and passengers into any situation - and the 2016 crop of Jeeps is no exception! The 2016 Renegade and 2016 Wrangler are two standouts from the pack, each offering their own take on classic Jeep style and reliability. If you find yourself torn between the two vehicles, we'll be happy to help you pick out which one is the best choice for you and your family - let's take a look at some of the areas in which these SUVs excel.
Performance
The Renegade's 160 hp 1.4 L engine may be a bit less powerful than the Wrangler's 285 hp, 3.6 L V6, but that power translates to a higher gas mileage than the Wrangler can manage. If you'll be using the vehicle for city driving or a daily commute, the Renegade may be the better choice, with its more economical fuel usage distinguishing the two vehicles. If, however, you find yourself needing the toughness, power, and versatility of an off-road-ready Jeep, the Wrangler is probably the vehicle for you. Consider your needs and the needs of your family when you're looking into your next vehicle - no matter what kind of vehicle you need, there's a Jeep for you, and we're proud to help you find it.
Appearance
The way a car looks is an important component of the image it projects, and with the classic Jeep grill front and center, both the Renegade and the Wrangler have a lot to offer in the style department. The Renegade's take on Jeep styling is a bit more modernized, with more rounded corners and accent colors to set the grill apart from the rest of the vehicle; this may make it the better choice if you'll be taking the Jeep to a corporate parking lot or other location with modern, stylish vehicles. The Wrangler's styling evokes more of the classic Jeep feeling, with its more square body and more defined nose. Both of these vehicles have a lot to love about them - you'll just have to figure out which fits your needs better!
Safety
One of the most important measures of any car is its safety features, and the 2016 Renegade and 2016 Wrangler both pass this test with flying colors. ABS, stability control, and traction control come standard on both vehicles, with side/curtain airbags included on the Renegade and optional on the Wrangler. You'll be able to trust your Jeep to pull you through any number of difficult situations, with its legendary reliability alive and well on these latest models. Don't take any chances with the lives or well-being of you and your passengers - the Renegade and the Wrangler work their hardest to keep all occupants safe and sound.
The best way to see the differences between these two vehicles is to come down and drive them for yourself - and we're happy to help with that! Give us a call or stop by any time to schedule test drives of these two vehicles.
