How does the Kicks compare to rivals, you may be wondering? The 2021 Chevrolet Trax comes to mind, which starts at $21,400 excluding freight at the time of writing. The Honda HR-V ($21,220) is a good alternative too, and the same can be said about the Hyundai Kona ($20,500).

4×4 vehicle – and grew over the decades with the launch of new products which helped build an enduring reputation that has seen the brand become synonymous with off-road excellence. Constant innovation has seen the legend evolve, with comfort, handling and connectivity now every bit as much of the Jeep DNA as its off-road prowess.
As the Jeep brand celebrates its eighth decade, it is entering the next exciting phase in its history; this, of course, involved electrification with the launch of its first plug-in hybrid model. As the first vehicle to carry the 4xe badge, Renegade 4xe is the Jeep take on electrification and offers zero-emission mobility, when driving in full electric mode.
