2010–2017 Jeep Patriot
A cheap, boxy small SUV with a simple design and an available off-road package.

Worth knowing
- The CVT whines and can fail, the cabin is dated, and crash protection trails newer models. A six-speed automatic arrived in 2014.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target the Latitude: it adds heated front seats, alloy wheels and keyless entry over the Sport. The six-speed automatic arrived for 2014 and beats the CVT.
On the test drive
Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: not offered in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: not offered in this generation.
