Overview

Competing in the compact SUV segment, the 2015 Jeep Patriot goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Ford Escape, the Honda HR-V, and the Toyota RAV4. Spread across 3 main trims and 2 sub-trims, the Patriot starts off at a base price of MSRP of $16,895 and carries on to $26,895. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. 

The standard engine is a 2.0L Inline-4 rated for 158 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Patriot gives you a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. An optional 2.4L inline-4 is also offered, with an output of 172 horsepower. A 5-speed manual, CVT, and 6-speed automatic transmission choices are offered alongside both engines.

Buying Advice

We are leaning towards the Latitude trim of the 2015 Jeep Patriot. Because as a middle-range trim, it encompasses all the basic features offered on the lower trim and also adds a few desirable features such as heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio mounted controls, reclining rear seatbacks, 115-volt power inverter, keyless entry, and driver seat height adjuster.

              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.
