When
you and your family are in search of a new crossover SUV, the options
can seem almost endless. However, two of the most popular options are
the 2020 Jeep Renegade vs.
Kia Soul. To help you choose the best to aid you on your journeys in
Rapid City, Belle Fourche, and Sioux Falls, Liberty Chrysler Dodge Jeep
Ram FIAT is here. Read below for our Jeep Renegade vs. Kia Soul
comparison.
Top-Rated Performance
Both
vehicles offer high-energy performance ideal for city and highway
driving. However, some aspects differ. The Kia contains FWD and a
turbocharged engine, while the Jeep features an active 4WD system and a
MultiAir® engine which reduces emissions.
This gives the Jeep SUV better traction on slippery roads-not to mention more rugged landscapes. If you need a ride that can handle the trails, the Renegade is better equipped for it.
