If you spend a lot of time traveling down I-81, you know how far some good entertainment can take you. You also know how important it is to prepare your vehicle before any long-distance treks. Both the Jeep Renegade and the Honda CR-V take these ideas to heart and implement them in their standard and available technologies!
Even when you’re just taking a quick jaunt to the grocery store, tech devices can make the trip more exciting. It also helps if you’re headed off to a new destination and need to plan your route in advance.
With the Jeep and the Honda, both models provide six standard speakers to flood the cabin with music. To select the tunes you prefer, the Jeep provides an 8.4-inch Uconnect® 4C NAV touchscreen. A smaller screen is available on the Honda dashboard, standing seven inches.
Alexa is a common name in many households, and with the Jeep Renegade, it can also be a common name on the road! Amazon Alexa is built into the Renegade, which allows you to do the following actions:
- Send destinations
- Check fuel levels
- Start your Renegade
On the other hand, you'll find various helpful technologies in the Honda CR-V. However, you’ll only find Amazon connectivity in the Jeep Renegade, which can enhance your ride before you even sit in the driver’s seat.
The 2023 Jeep Renegade and the Honda CR-V are great family vehicles. They’re spacious, sporty, and savvy—and let’s not forget reliable! Both models offer their own active and passive safety systems to help keep you and your loved ones safe on the way to Lahey Family Fun Park.
While these two cars stack the safety in your favor, some unique systems are in the Jeep. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist appear in both models, but the Renegade also adds these systems to the mix:
- Available Parallel and Perpendicular Park and Exit Assist System
- Available ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist Systems
Other than available front and rear parking sensors, the Honda CR-V goes without any additional parking assistance. So, if you need help when parallel parking or fitting into a tight spot in the grocery store parking lot, the Jeep Renegade offers the support you desire.
CR-V drivers won’t have the monitoring and boundary-setting capabilities you get with the exclusive Jeep Family Drive Alerts! This system allows you to monitor speed, pinpoint your vehicle’s location, and even set a curfew time for your teenager, for someone borrowing your car, or for a valet driver.
So, when your teen driver first gets their license, you can feel confident setting them on their newfound freedom in the Renegade.
Let’s be honest: The Jeep Renegade and the Honda CR-V are ready for adventure. These two SUVs are equipped with peppy engines and reliable drivetrains to make sure you can get from Point A to Point B easily. After all, let’s leave the challenge for the gravel and dirt trails you’re about to triumph.
A larger engine in the Honda does not make a dent in what the Jeep can do. The Renegade offers a 1.3L 4-cylinder Turbo engine that cranks out 210 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, you’ll find a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood of the Honda, generating 179 lb-ft of torque.
More torque in the Renegade means you’ll be able to tow heavier loads easier! In fact, if you need to bring along gear, the Jeep can tow 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. With the Honda, you can tow toys up to 1,500 pounds.
In the Renegade, you can manage the road easily with one of two available 4-wheel drive systems. You’ll find different performance levels in the Honda, which provides 2-wheel drive or available Real Time AWD.
Plus, when you’re driving the Jeep Renegade with 4x4 capability, you’ll benefit from other systems to lead you through rough terrain. These available systems include:
- Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System
- Jeep Active Drive System
- Jeep Active Drive Low
The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System lets you switch among Auto, Snow, Sand, Mud, and Rock modes. The Honda has up to four drive modes available, none of which are as adventurous as the Renegade’s.
