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.

Buying Advice

The 2014 Jeep Patriot is an affordable and capable SUV in its segment. There are multiple trims offered and we recommend getting the mid-level Latitude trim for its standard heated seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, etc.

              Enough space for friends, shopping or camping gear

              Pros - ["Great gas mileage", "Low maintenance", "Very roomy"]

              Cons - ["Doesn't drive too fast", "Nothing else", "Nothing else"]

              This car has been a lifesaver on gas, groceries, my kids sports equipment and road trips. I can drive with peace of mind knowing absolutely nothing has gone wrong with my car because I keep up with the maintenance and drive it and baby it...low mileage and never go above 65...very seldom 70.
