What’s New for the 2017 Jeep Patriot

There have been no significant changes for the 2017 Jeep Patriot. This is likely because the Patriot is being replaced next year (along with the Jeep Compass) by a new Jeep compact crossover vehicle.

The 2017 Jeep Patriot is offered in five trim levels: Sport, Sport SE, Latitude, High Altitude, and 75^th Anniversary Edition.

2017 Jeep Patriot Exterior

The 2017 Patriot looks like the offspring of the popular Jeep Wrangler and an old-school Jeep Cherokee with a boxy silhouette and plenty of harsh angles. It’s not unattractive, though, and its exterior design hints at its off-roading roots. Jeep’s characteristic seven-slot grill is nestled between two round headlights, which are similar to the Wrangler’s. Overall, the Patriot offers a unique look to those consumers that want to stand out from the crowd.

There are two engine options for the Jeep Patriot. The first is the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 158 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. This engine is only available on the front-wheel-drive models. For the second engine option, consumers can get a 2.4-liter four-cylinder generating 172 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque.
