Subaru Crosstrek vs Jeep Renegade

Subaru Crosstrek vs Jeep Renegade Interior Dimensions

A good compact SUV should have more room than meets the eye. The Subaru Crosstrek features lots of space to stretch out with 43.1 inches of legroom behind the wheel and 36.5 inches of legroom in the backseats. It also offers lots of space for your bags. Its wide trunk features 20.8 cubic feet of cargo room.

To help you load more, 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats come standard. With the backseats down, the Crosstrek offers up to 55.3 cubic feet of cargo room.

On the other hand, the Jeep Renegade's cabin can feel a bit cramped in comparison. There's 41.2 inches of legroom up front and 35.1 inches of legroom in the back. The trunk is also slightly smaller with only 18.5 cubic feet of cargo room.

While folding 2^nd-row seats are offered, they don't come standard on every trim. Plus, even with the backseats down, you'll still only have 50.8 cubic feet of cargo room.
