Patriot competitors include the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester.

    Reliable and Comfortable

    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

    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.

    First Jeep we love it...comfort and rides nice.

    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.

    Most car for your money if you need a 4WD SUV!!

    My vehicle comes with every option, leather seats, remote start, heated bucket seats, powered seats, powered sunroof, 4WD, electronic skid, downhill and tipping controls, nice roomy car and different from Jeep Cherokee, the back seat accommodates tall and large people well and is comfortable not stiff. The trunk, with back seats down can fit a full size mattress. Performance is smooth and gas/mileage use is very good for an SUV of that size.
