Patriot
The Jeep Patriot first entered the market in 2007 as a compact crossover SUV and has since become a beloved staple among Jeep aficionados. Boasting the brand’s classic robust styling and all-terrain capabilities, the Patriot continues Jeep's rich heritage of designing rugged yet comfortable vehicles.
Built on the same platform as the Compass, the Patriot features a traditional Jeep aesthetic, showcasing a boxy silhouette reminiscent of the iconic Jeep Cherokee. This particular model's availability in front-wheel drive and two different four-wheel drive systems underscores its versatility, which is often revered among Patriot fans.
While it flaunts rugged looks and robust performance, the Patriot doesn't skimp on comfort and convenience. The spacious cabin accommodates five passengers and includes plenty of cargo space. Notably, several technology features enhance its value, including satellite radio, a sound system with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack, keyless entry, and full power accessories.
Under the hood, the Patriot offers two 4-cylinder engine options, coupled with either a 5-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission, for an energetic yet economical performance. Though it ceased production in 2017, the Jeep Patriot remains a popular choice among compact SUV lovers, known for its remarkable off-road capability, affordability, and overall versatility.
