The Jeep Renegade’s consumption ranges from 5.5 to an impressive 2.1 liters per 100 km, specifically in the plug-in hybrid option, with a commendable CO2 emission rating as low as 48 g/km. It also boasts an electric range of 36 km, providing an eco-friendly option for short commutes.

Meanwhile, the Renault Captur’s fuel consumption is equally noteworthy, ranging from 4.7 liters to 7.8 liters per 100 km. It also offers a CO2 emission rating of 106 g/km at its best, although its hybrid nature includes a smaller battery capacity of 0.6 kWh, focusing more on driving economy than electric range.

Design wise, both models maintain the compact SUV characteristics, but with distinctive flair. The Jeep Renegade stands out with its rugged design, measuring 4,236 mm in length, 1,805 mm in width, and up to 1,718 mm in height.
