EPA-ESTIMATED FUEL ECONOMY (MPG)
MAXIMUM TOUCHSCREEN SIZE
WIRELESS CHARGING
If your wanderlust has you wanting to explore longer, you’ll need a ride with dependable fuel economy. You ought to focus on enjoying the moment, not searching for the nearest gas station.
The 2023 Jeep Renegade has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 23 city/29 highway MPG on its base trim level. This modest mileage will help you experience the natural world, but you might have to keep an eye on your tank.
With the 2023 Kia Soul, however, you’ll get a maximum EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 city/33 highway MPG in the base trim level.* This fuel economy surpasses the Renegade, so you'll feel free to roam efficiently.
The Jeep Renegade’s standard engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which will offer smooth driving and decent fuel economy. However, the Intelligent Variable Transmission in the Kia Soul enhances fuel efficiency even more.
The world is waiting, and with the superior fuel economy of the Soul, you can cruise past the pump and continue enjoying your day.
As you glide down the highway in search of your next adventure, you’ll need a comfortable cabin interior that makes you feel supported every step of the way. Both models are up to the job.
The 2023 Jeep Renegade comes standard with a Black interior featuring cloth seats. Depending on trim level, two variations of Black and leather trim are also available for the seats. These options will provide plenty of comfort for your drive.
The 2023 Kia Soul, on the other hand, also has cloth seats and more options to customize your ride’s look and feel.
With the 2023 Kia Soul, you’ll have your choice of up to six fabulous interior materials:
- Black Tricot Cloth
- Gray 2-Tone Tricot Cloth
- Black Woven Cloth
- Gray 2-Tone Woven Cloth
- Black SynTex and Cloth
- Black and White SynTex and Cloth
You’ll be able to create an irresistible combination with these colors and fabrics. As you travel, you’re sure to enjoy this selection of premium designs with a distinctive touch.
Finally, whether you journey near or far, you’ll need modern technology to make your drives easy and enjoyable. Both the Renegade and the Soul have impressive infotainment systems and capabilities.
With both travel companions, you’ll get an expansive touchscreen packed with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility; so, you can throw an impromptu concert when your favorite song comes on.
However, the Kia Soul allows you to upgrade from the baseline 8-inch system to a 10.25-inch color touchscreen display. The Renegade, on the other hand, only offers the standard 8.4-inch display, so you won’t have the option to choose a screen with easier visibility.
To make your trip even more effortless, a wireless smartphone charger is available in the Soul. That means you won’t have to fumble with a cord or even remember to bring it along for the ride.
Unfortunately, you’ll be untangling wires in the Renegade since a comparable feature isn’t available.
These road warriors are both fitting choices for your fearless heart as you explore in style. However, the 2023 Kia Soul triumphs over the Jeep Renegade with its improved fuel economy and many options for your comfort.
