Performance That Suits the Name

The common saying, “what’s in a name?” is usually thrown around as a way of asking “does a name make a difference?” When you see “Jeep” emblazoned on the side of a vehicle, you’ll automatically know that it does. That’s because Jeep crafts all of its vehicles with a strong emphasis on performance. The company extends that philosophy to the 2020 Jeep Renegade, which you’ll find outclasses the 2020 Mazda CX-3 on everything from engine horsepower and torque to maneuverability on any type of surface.

At a base level, the 2020 Jeep Renegade simply offers more of what you want in a subcompact SUV. You’ll find two available engine options in the 2020 Renegade, versus just one in the 2020 CX-3. Jeep’s Renegade subcompact SUV also has a more efficient 9-speed automatic transmission, compared to the 6-speed automatic transmission available Mazda’s vehicle. Jeep also offers a wider selection of off-road capable features that you simply won’t find in the 2020 Mazda CX-3, especially if you’re considering the Trail Rated 2020 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk.

Pack a Punch Offroad

Choice is good, and with the 2020 Jeep Renegade for sale right now, you can choose between two amazing engines, both of which exceed the specs on the single engine option offered in the Mazda CX-3.

Drivers who want a lighter, more efficient engine may want to opt for the 1.3L Four-Cylinder Direct Injection Turbo combined with front-wheel drive. This enjoy pushes out an amazing 177 horsepower and 210 lb-feet of torque. Comparatively, the 2.0L SKYACTIV^®-G1 2.0L DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder with VVT available in the 2020 Mazda CX-3 provides just 148 horsepower and 146 lb-feet of torque.

For drivers who need a bit more, the incredibly designed 2.4L Tigershark^® engine available in the 2020 Renegade 180 horsepower, 175 lb-feet of torque. While a monster on the road (and offroad), this engine still provides an EPA-estimated 30 MPG highway.

Safety First at All Times

The 2020 Jeep Renegade and 2020 Mazda CX-3 share something in common on safety: Both vehicles are an IIHS Top Safety Pick. The difference comes in the extended safety features available for the Jeep Renegade.
