JEEP Patriot combines the packaging and interior flexibility of a sport-utility vehicle with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a compact car or small pickup. Safety features, such as standard side-curtain air bags and standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP), add to Jeep Patriot's tremendous value. New Jeep technology gives Patriot more capability than any other vehicle in its class. Patriot is available in three drive configurations: front-wheel drive, Freedom Drive Iª (a full-time, active four-wheel-drive system with lock mode) and the Freedom Drive IIª Off-Road Package (a full-time, active 4x4 system with low range that provides true Jeep 4x4 Trail RatedÆ capability). All Patriot models include standard brake traction control, driver-controlled three-mode ESP, Brake assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with rough-road detection.
