The 2014 Jeep Patriot, part of the vehicle's first generation, is a compact crossover available in three trim levels: Sport, Latitude, and Limited. The base Sport model comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 158 horsepower while a more potent 2.4-liter four-cylinder, delivering 172 horsepower, is optional for the Sport and standard for the Latitude and Limited. Both engines are paired with either a five-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission, and offer front-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain options. Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system, SiriusXM Radio, and a 6.5" touchscreen with navigation are some of the available tech highlights. Safety-wise, notable features include side curtain airbags, stability and traction control, and anti-lock brakes.
