2007-2017
The Jeep Patriot, produced from 2007 to 2017, was positioned as an affordable compact SUV that combined Jeep’s rugged image with practicality for daily driving. It featured a boxy and traditional Jeep design, including the iconic seven-slot grille, which appealed to those looking for a classic SUV appearance. Two available four-wheel-drive systems, Freedom Drive I and Freedom Drive II, cater to different off-road needs. The latter, in particular, provided more advanced capabilities for tackling challenging terrains. On the inside, the Patriot offered a spacious cabin with a simple yet functional design. Cargo capacity was competitive within its segment, making it a practical choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Regarding safety, the Jeep Patriot included standard front and side curtain airbags, stability control, and brake traction control. Despite its off-road potential, the Patriot primarily focused on delivering a comfortable ride for everyday commuting. With an affordable price point and optional features like leather upholstery and an infotainment system, this generation of the Jeep Patriot aimed to attract budget-conscious buyers seeking a versatile and compact SUV.
