Overview
Competing in the compact SUV, the 2014 Jeep Patriot goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, the Kia Sportage, and the Nissan Rogue Select. Spread across 3 trims, the Patriot starts off at a base price of MSRP $16,395 and carries on to $26,395. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 2.0L inline-4 engine rated for 158 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Patriot gives you a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds. An optional 2.4L inline-4 engine is also offered, with an output of 172 horsepower. There are three transmission choices offered alongside both engines - a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic, and a CVT automatic.
