Here at , we’re pretty big enthusiasts when it comes to all things Jeep. Needless to say, it was a big thrill last year when the Cherokee debuted. Now, just a year later Jeep’s doing it again with the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade! If you’ve been following this impressive vehicle as announcements and specs trickle in, you’ll know that it’s going to be a great addition to the Jeep lineup, and to the small SUV category,
But how does it compare to the Jeep vehicles you already know and love? Today we’re looking at the 2015Jeep Renegade vs the 2015 Jeep Cherokee, both in their Trailhawk editions, to determine how they’re alike and different. As we await additional details from Jeep on the Renegade such as price and fuel economy numbers, we look at some other key areas to see what each model offers.

The 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk model comes with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, as does the 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The Cherokee has the added option of a 3.2L V6, so if that’s a must for you, the Cherokee is probably your best bet. But don’t be quick to discount the performance of the Renegade! The Renegade Trailhawk is Trail Rated with Best-in-Class 4x4 capability and boasts an impressive 2,000 pounds of towing capacity. As for cargo volume, you’re looking at a fairly similar amount of space offered on both models, with the Cherokee at an advantage of about four cubic feet. Finally, for the sunroof options, which are available features on both models. The Jeep Cherokee has a more traditional sunroof with a first panel that tilts or slides and a fixed second panel. The 2015 Jeep Renegade offers something quite different, called the My Sky roof. This option allows you to retract the first panel to let a bit of air in, or remove both panels entirely and store them in the cargo area for that great top-down feeling with a few easy steps.
