2020 Jeep Renegade vs 2020 Kia Soul near York, PA

When you're looking for adventurous SUVs that have a real spirit of trailblazing adventure, Jeep almost always springs to mind, while Kia is known for delivering spunk, pep, and personality. Which one comes out better in direct competition? Let's examine the 2020 Jeep Renegade vs. the 2020 Kia Soul and see which one holds up.

Engine Power and Off-Road Performance

If you're looking for sheer performance and a go-anywhere, do-anything capability, Jeep has the edge over Kia. The base Jeep Renegade four-cylinder engine gives you 180 horsepower. Kia's base engine, by comparison, gets you only 147 horsepower, nowhere near what Jeep has to offer.

What about off-roading? Again, there's just no contest. Kia offers the Soul as an SUV, but it doesn't even give you all-wheel drive, not even as an optional upgrade. Jeep, on the other hand, has available AWD, so it can take you off-road. Even better, it gives you a Trailhawk trim level option that gives you a ton of features that are specifically designed for trailblazing. Jeep wins.

Safety Features and Technology

The Jeep Renegade offers an important feature that Kia doesn't. The standard active headrests are specifically engineered to protect you from whiplash in the event of a collision. Kia can't match this feature.

In addition, you can opt for a remote start, backlit power accessory controls, automatic high beams, and a household power outlet with the Renegade, which the Soul doesn't have.
