2015 Jeep Patriot Exterior

The 2015 Jeep Patriot is just the right size for cities. Boasting a Wrangler-like front end and slab sides that are reminiscent of older Cherokees, the Patriot maintains its boxy design. It’s the simple details that really make the 2015 Patriot stand out and recognizable as a Jeep. New for the 2015 model year, Eco Green Clear Coat has replaced Rugged Brown as an exterior color.

A five speed manual transmission comes standard with a six speed automatic available as an upgrade. Limited and all-wheel drive models come with a larger 2.4L inline four that hits 172 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. That’s all the power you need for city driving or heading to a campsite.

2015 Jeep Patriot Efficiency

Fuel economy tops out at an EPA-estimated 23 city/30 hwy mpg in the Sport and Latitude models with a front wheel drivetrain. That number drops to about 21 city/27 hwy mpg when an all-wheel drive is equipped instead. Notably, selecting the Freedom Drive II package will drop highway mileage to about 20 mpg.

2015 Jeep Patriot Interior

The 2015 Jeep Patriot isn’t as nice on the inside as it is out. Some brightwork has been added, making the interior look sturdy and somewhat attractive. Hard plastic makes up most of the interior. Despite the materials, entry and exit is easy enough and there’s plenty of room in front and back for passengers. Rear seats flip forward, increasing the amount of cargo space available for large loads.
