Are you in the market for an affordable compact SUV in Lebanon, TN, and also has a lot of space for your family? Check out the 2023 Hyundai Venue and 2023 Jeep Renegade, and let’s compare them side by side. You need a vehicle with plenty of driver assistance features and is great on gas, but here are some notable differences between the Venue and Renegade, so let’s take a closer look and find the perfect vehicle for you.
The Venue has some great updates to its 2023 model. The vehicle has the addition of a standard rear-seat alert, which is used to remind drivers of passengers or items that could be forgotten in the back seat after parking. The compact SUV also has the addition of a center console armrest that is now standard. The digital screen in the instrument cluster was enlarged to 4.2 inches and is rendered in color. Also, in the Limited trim, they added a wireless smartphone charging pad.
The Renegade only saw the discontinuation of the front-wheel drive layout which was replaced by all-wheel in all the models. The Renegade also lost the Sport trim level.
The Venue has no problem running errands or cruising to the beach and is great with fuel economy. This SUV gets an impressive 29 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. It’s also easy to maneuver thanks to its small footprint. The braking and handling add to the driving experience due to its small size. The ride is comfortable regardless of if you’re driving over smooth or uneven pavement. You also don’t have to worry when it comes to braking because the Venue is quick and responsive.
Critics found that the Renegade didn’t stand out and it took an unimpressive 9.3 seconds to reach 60 mph. Also, the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine was discovered to be loud and the transmission was indecisive when jumping into the next gear. Critics also found the brakes were uneven and required more time to stop.
The Venue offers a budget-friendly option with its low starting price. The base model SE starts at roughly $20,835 and the highest trim level starting price is roughly $24,085. The Venue is considered to be one of the most affordable compact SUVs that are available. If you’re rolling on a budget, then you should check out the Venue.
However, the Renegade has some of the priciest models. The base model has a starting price of roughly $31,590 and the higher trim level reaches prices of roughly $34,440. The Renegade doesn’t give as much bang for its buck.
