Features
This quite jeep Patriot uses 2.4 liter with 4 cylinders. The engine is an old model one that is used in the olden day cars. Though it is quite, it is not a powerful engine. Manual shifting is comfortable for use but a bit slower than automatic shifting. Initial torque was less but then speed picks up after achieving around 4500 rpm. The engine that is used is not satisfactory although fuel efficiency is good. When it comes to interior, no jeep has excellent interiors as Patriot. Jeep drivers will always suffer from problems with space for the legs. Patriot has excellent leg room with adjustable driver seats. The new interior is much more refined from the olden model jeeps and hence suitable for luxury lovers too.
The windows are well placed and the entire vehicle is much airy. The jeep Patriot looks much more spacious inside than looking from the outside. It is surprising to see such a large interior space in a jeep. The seats are highly washable and are stain resistant. The carpet and flooring are also washable. Even if you run the vehicle in the most dusty terrains, you can use a damp cloth to wipe off all dirt and dust. The passengers seat in the front can be bent to make a table and you can use it for placing laptops etc. Heated front seats are an added feature in jeep Patriot as you can drive comfortably even during winters.
The luxury features like air conditioning, CD player and speaker system can be found inside the car. Ipod holder is also available and can be flipped out when necessary. This vehicle is safe to drive as it has front and rear airbags. The four wheel antilock brakes, stability and traction control can help you stop any mishap. For enhanced comfort, the rear seats are provided with recline feature. But still these seats are not very much comfortable for passengers. The cargo space is very good in this car and you can never imagine that in any other off road vehicle. It is a smooth vehicle off the road allowing acceleration even at uphill.
