If you're the type of driver who enjoys spending weekends off the beaten path, the 2016 Jeep Patriot is for you. This SUV was designed to deliver exceptional off-road performance, making it a great option for adventure seekers who want to take their vehicle through the mountains, into the woods, or near the sand — look out for models with available four-wheel drive. Plus, with the Jeep Patriot's upgraded Freedom Drive I and II packages, take advantage of added all-weather and off-road-style features, like an enhanced suspension system to ride over challenging surfaces like logs, rocks, and deep ruts; hill descent control for tackling steep declines; and skid plates to protect the car's undercarriage, even when driven over rough terrain.
Being the off-roader that it is, the 2016 Jeep Patriot offers plenty of passenger space (104 cu-ft total), making it a practical choice for families or anyone who needs to transport large items. Numbers-wise, the Patriot's spacious interior can accommodate up to five passengers, while the trunk offers 23 cu-ft of space — a great size for either daily commutes or exciting off-road escapades. Need more room? If you're riding solo, you can fold down the rear seats and increase the trunk space up to 53.5 cu-ft.
Whether you're exploring backcountry trails or simply looking for a car that can handle your daily commute with ease, the Patriot is an excellent choice. The Patriot's four-wheel drive system — which is available on cars equipped with the Freedom Drive I or Freedom Drive II packages — can provide maximum traction no matter where life takes you, allowing the car to navigate difficult terrain. This four-wheel-drive system can also be engaged on-the-fly, making it easy to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes as needed to give you even more control over your driving experience.
Need a boat or trailer for your next adventure? The 2016 Jeep Patriot was made with off-road enthusiasts in mind, delivering the rugged performance needed to tackle a wide range of challenges. With a 2.4L four-cylinder engine, tow hook, and a continuously variable transmission, this model can tow up to an estimated 2,000 pounds (when properly equipped).
Inspired by the iconic Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Wagoneer models that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s, the Patriot's boxy shape and angular lines are a nod to the rugged, utilitarian design of those classic Jeeps. Equal parts old-school and modern, the 2016 Jeep Patriot blends the best of Jeep's heritage with contemporary styling cues. The result is a car that stands out on the road, with a rugged, timeless appearance that is instantly recognizable as a Jeep.
