Jeep Patriot delivers a smooth and comfortable ride with solid help from its four-wheel independent suspension, with MacPherson struts up front and a multilink system in the rear. These systems work together to ensure solid contact with the road, no matter what surface you’re driving over. Improvements to Patriot’s rack-and-pinion power-assisted steering result in handling that’s exact, nimble, and responsive at all times. And with up to an EPA estimated 29 mpg on the highway and 23 in the city, Patriot works hard to help protect your pocketbook. Limited’s leather-trimmed interior surrounds a Jeep brand leather-wrapped steering wheel that places speed and audio controls at your fingertips. The six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment helps ensure you’re sitting comfortably in command. Automatic temperature control lets you dial in to a consistent climate with this standard Limited feature. Now you can set your desired cabin temp and let the system do the work, while you and your passengers ride in comfort all the way home.

Active, full-time 4WD capability with LOCK mode, features Electronically Controlled Coupling (ECC ), which constantly monitors wheel slippage and transfers torque to the axle that can use it most. In tough conditions, the system can be locked 50/50 front/rear for added low-speed capability and control. Available. Trail Rated full-time 4WD with LOCK mode, Off-Road mode with Hill Descent Control (HDC ) and Brake Traction Control. Torque is adjusted on-demand for added fuel economy.

An advanced system designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicle at all times. It integrates a four-wheel antilock brake system (ABS ) with hydraulic Brake Assist, all-speed traction control, and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) to constantly monitor driver input against the vehicle’s actual course. When needed, the system automatically helps provide braking to the appropriate wheels and reduces engine power when overly sharp steering and/or impending wheel lift is detected. These air bags provide nearly instantaneous occupant protection by matching air bag output to crash severity. A Jeep Patriot engineered safety cage structure contains a front crumple zone specifically designed to absorb energy during a frontal impact. Embedded sensors monitor the pressure in the tires and immediately notify the driver when levels drop below the minimum acceptable level. Standard.
Melt snow and ice off your sideview mirrors as you warm up your interior or while driving. Available. A unique embedded key code matched only to your vehicle helps keep your Jeep Patriot safely where it belongs. Standard. These deploy from the outboard side of each front seat to enhance protection of the driver and front passenger in certain impacts. Each side air bag has its own sensor to autonomously trigger the air bag on the side where the impact occurs. These bright sources of light improve down-road visibility at night or during inclement weather. Standard. This system works to prevent Patriot from rolling away when starting the vehicle on an up- or downhill gradient. It holds the vehicle stationary for two seconds after the driver’s foot is removed from the brake pedal, allowing time to apply the throttle. Standard on manual transaxle models, and
included with the Trail Rated Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group.
In the event of a rear-end collision, the head restraints move forward and upward to decrease the space between the head restraint and occupant’s head, thereby helping to reduce the chance of injury. As packaged with the available Media Center 430N radio, you’ll have access to real-time information on accidents, traffic flow, construction, road closures, and more. Alternative route guidance and mapping lets you easily avoid troubled areas to help you arrive safely and on time.
