Available from $29,990 the Jeep Patriot comes standard with a 2.4L petrol engine producing 125 kW and 220 Nm of torque coupled with a five-speed manual transaxle and the Freedom Drive I 4×4 system. As expected, a 2.0L Turbo Diesel model is also available exclusively in manual for an additional $4,000 on the base model price.

The exterior styling is pure Jeep featuring the brand’s signature seven-slot grille, a clamshell hood, a robust bumper and round headlamps.

Despite the price tag, safety has not been sacrificed with Electronic Stability Programme, Anti-lock Braking System with off road calibration, Brake Traction Control and Electronic Roll Mitigation all as standard.

In addition to the standard equipment on the Jeep Patriot Sport model, the Jeep Patriot Limited model features cruise control and roof rack with cross bars, body-colour fascias, body-colour bodyside mouldings, front fog lamps, 17-inch aluminium wheels and three-season performance tyres. Premium leather-trimmed bucket seats including driver’s seat manual lumbar adjuster and leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and heated front seats.
