You've probably come across the 2016 Jeep Renegade and the 2016 Jeep Patriot if you're looking for an affordable, versatile, and reliable new SUV - and if you haven't, you're in for a treat! Jeep's legendary quality and superb craft is alive and well with the new generation of their SUVs, and the Renegade and Patriot make up two superb entries in the affordable SUV category. Let's take a look at some of the ways these two vehicles stand out from the competition, as well as the ways in which they differ from each other.

Performance

Both of these Jeeps have more than enough power for your everyday needs, with the Renegade coming in at 160 hp and the Patriot at 158 hp. Whether you're looking at these vehicles as commuter cars or as multi-purpose cargo-moving machines, this is the perfect amount of power for your needs - and the 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway* minimum mileage rating is nothing to sneeze at, either. With power to spare and engines that know how to use that power efficiently and intelligently, it's no wonder these new Jeeps stand apart from other SUVs in their class, which often find themselves either underpowered or with far too low of a mileage rating to be useful.

Appearance

When you buy a Jeep, you know you're buying a beautiful and a high-quality car, and the Renegade and Patriot continue the classic Jeep styling with some modern twists. The Renegade is the more conservative of the two, with its more rounded corners and inset grille; the Patriot hearkens back to classic Jeep styling with its prominent nose and clear, straightforward headlights. We're confident that both of these vehicles have perfected their take on the classic Jeep style, and we're confident that you'll think so as well.

Safety

None of these features matter if you're not driving a safe vehicle, and beyond their famous styling and renowned reliability, modern Jeeps are safe and well-designed vehicles. Both the Renegade and the Patriot come with standard ABS, side/curtain airbags, stability control, and traction control; the Patriot also manages a five-star safety rating on car database Edmunds.com, helping set it apart from the pack. These two new Jeeps will help you feel safe and secure while riding in your vehicle, letting you concentrate on the road and use the SUV's responsive handling and power as your first line of defense. Its engineering is ready to help you feel safe and secure no matter what weather conditions you find yourself in, making your ride an enjoyable and safe one.
