2017 Jeep Patriot review: Our expert's take

Vehicle Overview

What it is: The Jeep Patriot compact SUV shares its platform with the Jeep Compass and is the less expensive model of the two. It seats five and comes with a choice of four-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive or one of two full-time four-wheel-drive systems. The more capable four-wheel-drive system gets Jeep’s Trail-Rated designation, meaning it can meet certain off-road standards for traction, water fording, ground clearance and more. Patriot competitors include the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester.

Reliable and Comfortable

March 20, 2022

Now in the 2nd year if owning a 2016 Patriot. The vehicle rides well, is comfortable, and has been extremely reliable. It has plenty of room for a small family, and I enjoy the styling.

Not like a Cherokee

Owns this car

Jeep Patriot is week vs a Cherokee. Can't go through 5 inches of snow unlike Cherokee. The drivers seat can't go back far enough to provide comfort for sitting; knees stuck against vehicle. If you are about 6ft tall, get a different Jeep.

Owns this car

It came with the High Altitude package. The heated leather seats and auto start sure has me spoiled. The four wheel drive sure has came in handy. Also has usb ports and other inlets.
