The 2010 Jeep Patriot sees no major changes. This compact SUV is a companion to Jeep’s Compass, but Patriot has more traditional Jeep styling and enhanced available off-road capability. Sport and Limited trims are available, and both seat 5. A 172-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine is standard. It teams with a 5-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that behaves much like an automatic.

All models are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. Available as a credit option on the 2WD Sport is a 158-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that teams with a manual transmission or CVT. Optional is an off-road-oriented AWD system that includes low-range gearing and hill-descent control. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an antiskid system, front-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. Fold-down tailgate speakers, leather upholstery, a fold-flat front-passenger seat back, and heated front seats are among the options.

Also optional is Chrysler’s Uconnect multimedia suite, which includes a wireless cell-phone link, 30-gigabyte hard drive for storing digital music and picture files, and a navigation system with real-time traffic information.
