If you want a vehicle that can go anywhere, anytime, choose the Jeep Renegade. This SUV can go rogue year-round thanks to its standard 4x4 drivetrain. This capable drivetrain enhances grip and powers over any surface. The Mazda comes standard with i-Activ AWD®, which is beneficial for driving in inclement weather and smooth acceleration rather than exploring.

Pair the Renegade’s 4x4 capability with the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, and you can dominate everywhere. The latter feature lets you dial into these terrain-specific drive modes:

• Auto
• Snow
• Sand
• Mud
• Available Rock

Thanks to its 6-speed transmission, the CX-30 gains a Sport and manual-shift mode for dynamic driving. However, it goes without a similar drive mode system that lets you tailor your car’s prowess to the terrain ahead.

Are you ready to meet the most capable Jeep Renegade? Say hello to the Trailhawk. Its name speaks for itself but let us break down why this model deserves to be in your driveway. First, it’s Trail Rated®. Wearing this badge signifies the Renegade’s excellence on dry dirt, mucky land, shallow streams, rock-laden paths, and more!

If you need to cross up to 19 inches of water, navigate fallen logs or tight trails, or go over, around, or through natural obstacles without a scrape, the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk will succeed. Unfortunately, the Mazda CX-30 may not keep up since it’s not Trail Rated® and is equipped with on-road gear instead.

The Jeep and the Mazda treat you to soothing comfort regardless of the weather outside. For starters, both models put supple cloth upholstery on all seats. If you want a more luxurious feel in your cabin, opt for available leather trim!

These available amenities will also enliven your experience:

• Heated front seats
• Daul-pane panoramic sunroof
• Heated steering wheel

After being active all day, you can kick back and relax in either of these calming cars.

Still, the Jeep Renegade amplifies your comfort. For instance, it comes standard with heated exterior mirrors, which will banish frost from your side mirrors when you’re in a hurry to leave. You and your copilot will heat up or cool off at your own preferred temperatures thanks to dual-zone automatic temperature control!

Mazda drivers can also enjoy these features when they upgrade to a higher trim level.

The Renegade may be the better fit when you need to bring your entire crew on board since it offers 100 cubic feet of passenger space! The Mazda attempts to keep up by offering 94.1 cubic feet of space; however, it gives the upper hand to the Jeep.

Both SUVs will be great options for long-legged individuals or those who prefer a relaxed, laid-back driving style thanks to over 41 inches of front legroom. The Renegade swoops in as the more spacious SUV by offering more headroom between its two rows:

Did you overpack for your weekend camping trip? It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. The Jeep will welcome your overstuffed luggage with ease. When the second row is folded down, you’ll have access to 50.8 cubic feet of cabin space! The CX-30 comes behind with 45.2 cubic feet.

Beyond more space, the Renegade’s front-passenger seat folds flat, so bringing along fishing poles or kayak oars is no problem. Plus, if all your gear obstructs your rearview mirror, just lower its adjustable cargo floor. Without similar features like these, the Mazda may make packing trickier.
