Jeep Patriot, the perfectly-priced people mover.

Are you looking for a rugged, economical, and affordable way to move all the important people and things in your life from here to there and back again? We suggest the value-filled 2016 Jeep Patriot, a 5-seat, 5-door compact crossover that remains one of the more affordable crossovers for daily commutes and family chores. 

A new Patriot trim was introduced on the 2016. Called the High Altitude Edition, it goes along with the mid-level Latitude and the base Sport. The altered Patriot lineup also brought some changes to the available powertrains, but all 2016 Patriots feature standard front-wheel drive (FWD) and optional 4-wheel drive (4WD). Cargo space is a roomy 63.4 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded, and the Latitude and High Altitude Edition both sport a standard fold-flat front passenger seat that provides a few extra cubic feet of space. 

A 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder (I4) power plant is standard across the FWD Patriot lineup, paired with either a standard 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 6-speed shiftable automatic for 158 hp and 141 lb-ft of torque. The High Altitude Edition also has an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT) that produces the same power figures as the others. Look for 23 mpg city/30 highway/23 combined with the stick shift and CVT transmissions, while trims toting the 6-speed automatic return at 22/27/24. 

Also available in the 4WD Patriot trims is a 2.4-liter I4 engine paired with either the 5-speed stick shift, the 6-speed shiftable automatic, or, when equipped with the available Freedom Drive II package, the CVT. Look for 172 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque from this up-powered I4 in combination with any of the transmissions. Mileage figures are 23/28/25 in FWD versions with the manual transmission, 21/28/23 in FWD variants toting the automatic transmission, and 21/27/23 in regular 4WD editions. 

The 2016 Patriot offers 16-inch steel wheels or 17-inch alloy wheels, a roof rack, and cloth or leather upholstery in the cabin with heated front seats, a fold-flat front passenger seat, and full power accessories in higher trims. An auto-dimming rear-view mirror, cruise control, and a tilt-only steering wheel will again come standard, with upper-level trims adding reclining rear seats, steering-wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, and manual air conditioning. Entertainment is provided by a 4-speaker CD/MP3 player with standard satellite radio and an auxiliary audio input. 

Further trim-specific options, other than the Freedom Drive II package, are a combination of option packages and stand-alone extras. The Premium Sound Group offers nine premium Boston Acoustics speakers, including two liftgate speakers, and the Trailer Tow Group offers a Class II hitch and wiring. The Security and Cargo Convenience Group adds roof-rail crossbars, a remote garage door opener, a driver information display, a security alarm, and a tire-pressure monitor. Standalone options include Uconnect 430N infotainment with GPS navigation and 4GB of music storage, upgraded leather upholstery, and a rear-view camera. 

The Patriot's standard safety equipment includes 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front side-mounted airbags, front and rear head-protection airbags, front fog/driving lights, and a post-collision safety system. 

Current Patriot owners laud the off road capabilities of the Freedom Drive II package, and a nearly unbeatable MSRP.
