2020 Jeep Renegade vs Kia Soul

While everyone knows that getting a new vehicle isn’t necessarily the easiest task in the world, especially with all of the options out there, at Three Rivers CDJR, we want to simplify the process. This starts with making sure that you are aware of your options, and understand just exactly what you are looking for. We’ve broken down the SUV segment and are left with two of the top competitors available. This includes the 2020 Jeep Renegade, and the 2020 Kia Soul. The Renegade works hard to give you off-roading capabilities, a stylish exterior, safety features, an easy-to-maneuver size, and even an optional Kenwood premium audio system. On the other side of things we have a completely refreshed Soul model, which is spacious, fun to drive, although lacking in an all-wheel drive option. Keep reading to find out which SUV to buy!


2020 Jeep Renegade Power & Handling

There is no better place to start than to look at what sort of power you can gain from the Renegade. All Jeep vehicles are known for producing the horsepower you need to get where you need to go, and the Renegade has proven to be no exception. Both available engines work with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, depending on your preference. You’ll also be getting a nine-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, which generates 175 pound-feet of torque and around 180 horsepower. The other available engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, which creates 177 horsepower and around 210 pound-feet of torque.


2020 Kia Soul Power & Handling

Kia, while offering two engines, isn’t making anything that you need to be writing home about. As discussed previously, there is no all-wheel drive option here, making this a vehicle to stay away from if you want anything to work well in bad weather. The base engine is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, which can generate 132 lb-ft of torque and up to 147 horsepower. The other available engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder, which generates 195 pound-feet of torque and up to 201 horsepower. You will most likely be getting a continuously variable transmission.


2020 Jeep Renegade Features & Design

Even after looking at the impressive engine lineup, you’ll want to know what kind of styling and features the Renegade offers. Some of the standard features with this SUV include push-button start, 16-inch steel wheels, and a five-inch touchscreen audio system. However, thanks to the expansive lineup, you’ll find other available features like dual-zone climate control, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, black front tow hooks, skid plates, heated front seats, fog lights, leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a heated steering wheel.

 

2020 Kia Soul Features & Design

When it comes to features you need, Kia does its best to keep up with the Jeep Renegade. Some of the standard features with this vehicle include a seven-inch touchscreen, a six-way adjustable driver seat, a USB input, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, air conditioning, and six airbags. Some of the optional features here include navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, blind-spot warning, LED front lights, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and push-button start.
