The Patriot is one half of Jeep's two-pronged approach to the compact crossover market. Sharing underpinnings with the
Compass, the Patriot is the more traditionally "Jeepish" of the two, wearing boxy styling that recalls the original Cherokee. The Patriot promises thrifty fuel economy and practical interior space conceived for the Patriot's daily driver mission, but offers low-range gearing to give this handily-sized utility some off-road chops.
