Jeep Patriot (07 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 13 February 2009
The Patriot is a softer Jeep, designed for owners who want the extra ability of a four-wheel drive, but don't need a large off roader. It's smaller and cheaper then the Cherokee with less rugged looks, but still comes with a practical and family-friendly cabin. The most popular engine is the 2.0-litre CRD - a diesel sourced from Volkswagen which although lacking in refinement, does offer good grunt. Unfortunately the interior of the Patriot is poor quality with cheap plastics and flimsy switches, while the finish is low rent too. Compared to normal family hatchbacks, it's not particularly cheap to run either.

Equipment

The Patriot is well equipped, although considering the price tag when new, it's not unexpected. All cars come with 17-inch alloy wheels, power steering, air conditioning, remote central locking, electrically adjustable heated and folding mirrors, electric windows and stability control. The Limited adds front fog lights, a full size spare, cruise control and leather upholstery.
