The Car Guide rating N/A
Even though it seems more comfortable off road than its double, the Compass, the Patriot gets the same two four-cylinder engines. The first is a 158-hp 2.0L, while the other is a 172-hp 2.4L. Some versions are front-wheel drives, while others are all-wheel drives. The Freedom Drive II option can take you so far off the beaten path that it has earned the right to be called “Trail Rated.”
