the market; but more importantly it's also the lowest-priced 4x4 in
the U.S. market currently. Even though Jeep has hard a tough time
finding way to introduce the Jeep Compass into the crossover segment,
meanwhile on the other hand the Jeep Patriot has proven to provide
the impact that Jeep had wanted: versatility, price, and efficiency,
all the meanwhile keeping that great Jeep look. If you are looking

Driving the 2013 Patriot
The Patriot handles and steers really well, showing off its great
car-based underpinnings. Many of the Patriot variants come with a
continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that tends to show
the great capability of the Patriot to switch gears, providing
optimal acceleration and power. This makes for a fun ride as you are
moving in and out of traffic. Manual-gearbox versions can be more
enjoyable, and going with the stronger 172-hp, 2.4-liter engine, as
there's not much of a real-world fuel-economy penalty.
Design of the 2013 Patriot
In great appreciation to its boxy body style, the Patriot
naturally has the upper hand over more of the rounder and shorter
appearing crossovers. This provides a sharp appearance which
translates to improved cabin space. The design is very traditional to
the Jeep brand way, very similar to the lines that create the Grand
Cherokee, with the distinguished grille font and center. Sometimes
not messing with something that works is the best thing you can do
when working on a new design. Why fix what's not broken right?
Model Lineup
The Jeep Patriot comes in three different model trims; the Patriot
Sport, Patriot Latitude and lastly the Limited model. All come with
basic 4x2 drive, but come with the option of four-wheel drive. Even
with four-wheel drive the Patriot still maintains a respected 23 mpg.
Each includes a complete list of standard safety features and because
of that is has been named a Top Safety Pick.
Conclusions
If you are looking for a Jeep SUV or crossover that will give you
the basic performance needs that you want from a typical Jeep
vehicle, then the 2013 Patriot is a great choice. Combine the
traditional design that brings back a sense of nostalgia for many,
the great maneuverability and considerate fuel-economy the
Patriot has placed itself right in line with many of its direct
competitors. But what allows it to leap ahead of the competition is
its cost. Jeep claims it is one of the lowest prices crossovers for
2013. For you Jeep enthusiasts or 4x4 gear heads,
