The Patriot is based off the same small-SUV platform as the Compass but offers an off-road capability its sibling doesn't. It is available in front-wheel drive or with a four-wheel-drive system which utilizes a "lock" mode to enhance traction in inclement weather. The four-wheel drive system and optional FDII package has a continuously variable transaxle with a low range that engages when the off-road mode is activated. The package also features hill-descent control, brake lock differential, and an extra inch of ground clearance. Standard safety features include front and side-curtain air bags, antilock brakes, electronic stability program, and tire pressure monitoring. All trims are standard with a 172-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission; A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is optional. A 158-hp 2.0L engine with only the CVT can be had on the FWD Sport trim. The Jeep Patriot was brand new in 2007 and carries over into 2008.
