Bob Brady Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT
When you’re shopping in the subcompact SUV class, choices like the 2021 Jeep Renegade and 2021 Kia Soul can be tough to make. While both SUVs have distinctive benefits, you may find that their differences help determine which is the better fit for your lifestyle and needs. We’ve compared the key features and differences between the 2021 Renegade and the 2021 Soul to help you make your choice.
Although the Kia Soul is considered to be one of the roomiest subcompact SUVs in the class, its passenger dimensions fail to meet those of the 2021 Jeep Renegade. The Jeep Renegade is more spacious for passengers in almost every area including front head space and legroom, rear head space, and roomier seats in both rows. The 2021 Jeep Renegade also comes standard with several features that require an upgrade in the Soul such as push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated side mirrors. As you continue to climb the trim ladder with the Renegade, you’ll find that the features only get more luxurious and capable while upper trims of the Soul stretch to meet the base level set by its competitors.
The 2021 Jeep Renegade is powered by a 180-horsepower 2.4-liter engine in the base trim and a turbocharged 1.3-liter is available in every trim except the base trim for extra-peppy power. Though the Soul has two engine options, its base 147-horsepower engine is the standard fare in all but the very top trim level which gets the upgraded power boost. The Renegade and Soul earn nearly identical fuel efficiency ratings despite the lower performance of the Soul. Plus, because the Renegade is a Jeep vehicle, it’s ready to get off the pavement and onto the trail – a feat the Kia Soul cannot accomplish.
Driver assistance features are an important part of the many drivers’ criteria for their new car, and if they’re part of yours, you should know that the 2021 Jeep Renegade comes standard with six driver assistance features while the 2021 Kia Soul comes with just one. Standard fare in the Renegade includes blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. The Soul’s lone standard feature is a driver drowsiness monitor with the other available driver assistance features in the Soul are scattered through the remaining trim levels.
If you’re looking for a smaller SUV that has an innate sense of adventure with great features and an even better value, the 2021 Jeep Renegade should be your pick. The Renegade offers better power, features, and capabilities than the Soul, and you can drive your very own Renegade home today.
