Compare the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek to the 2017 Jeep Renegade with Research from Mike Shaw Subaru Serving Denver, CO

It's no secret that the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek offers one of the coolest designs available for a crossover SUV, but Jeep recently added some style to their lineup as well with the new 2017 Renegade. While both models may seem to be similarly equipped, Subaru knows that real style goes beyond the surface. That's why Subaru has ensured the 2017 Crosstrek back up its style with dependable performance, safety, and features. We've gathered the facts and compared the 2017 Crosstrek to the 2017 Renegade to see how they really measure up to each other, so read on. When you're done, come see us at Mike Shaw Subaru for a test drive.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Jeep Renegade: Design

The design of the new 2017 Crosstrek is as versatile as it is unique. First, the Crosstrek offers you more cargo options thanks to standard roof rails and more cargo volume behind the rear seats. You'll have to pay extra to get roof rails on the Jeep, and it offers quite a bit less cargo space standard. When you choose Subaru, you'll just get more bang for your buck because the 2017 Crosstrek offers standard alloy wheels instead of steel and a standard Starlink touchscreen infotainment system with Pandora app integration. You'll have to upgrade yet again to get a touchscreen system in the Renegade, and this is just the start.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Jeep Renegade: Performance

On paper, it may seem like the Renegade pulls ahead in terms of performance, but look deeper and you'll find that the 2017 Crosstrek easily takes this category, too. What really sets the Crosstrek apart here is the standard Subaru BOXER engine. This engine lies flat in the Crosstrek, drastically lowering the vehicle's center of gravity to give you a safer and more controlled drive. This engine also reduces road noise and vibration to make passengers more comfortable. We could go on about all the performance benefits of the 2017 Crosstrek, but this is one area that you need to experience for yourself.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Jeep Renegade: Safety

When it comes to safety, Subaru has you covered on all fronts, and you won't have to pay extra to get the safety features you need. While you'll have to upgrade trim levels to get a rearview camera on the Renegade, it's standard on the 2017 Crosstrek. The Crosstrek also offers available adaptive cruise control, not found anywhere on the Jeep, but safety isn't just about features. From the base design, the Subaru Crosstrek is simply safer. The horizontally-opposed BOXER engine helps keep you in control and reduces the risk of rollover, somthing Jeep is notorious for struggling with, and every Crosstrek comes standard with Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive. You'll have to, again, pay extra to get a 4-wheel drive system on the Renegade. There's a lot more to see, so head into Mike Shaw Subaru.
