INTRODUCTION
The Patriot range was launched in the UK in 2007 as the new, entry-level model for the Jeep brand, and has helped take Jeep in a new direction with vehicles that combine the packaging and interior flexibility of an SUV with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a family hatchback.
Federico Goretti, Managing Director of Chrysler UK Ltd, said: "You can't escape the fact that the Jeep Patriot looks like a classic Jeep - but there is nothing old-fashioned about the performance and fuel economy of this compact SUV or its state-of-the-art four wheel drive system.
Jeep Patriot is designed for customers who want four-wheel-drive capability and year-round versatility combined with excellent fuel economy and an attractive price point. With a modern interior and classic Jeep styling, including traditional round Jeep headlamps, seven-slot grille, muscular wheel arches, and strong stance - the 2010 Jeep Patriot broadens the Jeep design appeal to new customers to the brand.
JEEP IN THE UK
Three Jeep Patriot models, Patriot Sport, Patriot Sport + and Limited, are available in the UK and come with a Volkswagen sourced 138 bhp 2.0-litre six-speed manual diesel engine and a 168 bhp 2.4-litre petrol engine with a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox.
All Jeep Patriot models are covered by the comprehensive Jeep warranty scheme, which provides a three-year/60,000 mile mechanical warranty, seven-year anti-corrosion warranty and one-year European roadside assistance.
Jeep® Conquers New Territory and Attracts New Buyers to the Brand
Based on the Jeep Patriot concept first shown at the 2005 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, the Patriot is a modern interpretation of classic Jeep styling. Patriot combines the packaging and interior flexibility of an SUV with the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a C-segment car.
Jeep Patriot competes in the compact SUV segment, which is expected to grow considerably, giving the Jeep brand the opportunity to grow with it.

Federico Goretti, Managing Director of Chrysler UK Ltd, said: "The fuel-efficient Patriot has always appealed to customers that want a vehicle with Jeep's legendary brand cachet and desirability, but who also demand comfort, practicality, value for money and high levels of safety equipment.
"Compact family SUVs with four-wheel drive systems are becoming more sought after as they offer better handling and enhanced safety on the road. The Jeep Patriot ticks all the boxes offering all-round driver appeal."
With an entry level price of under £14,000, the Jeep Patriot is one of the most attractive alternatives for buyers looking for their next family car - young families want a vehicle that looks different but still offers plenty of room, safety, security and practicality, together with great performance and fuel economy. Vauxhall Astra or VW Golf customers will see the Jeep Patriot as a strong contender and credible alternative. The Patriot is the best value 4x4 in its segment and the only SUV of its size to offer 4WD capability under £14,000.
The Patriot is spacious, highly equipped and offers great value for money. Its active full time four wheel drive system - Freedom Drive ITM - provides real world capability and confidence in all-weather conditions and only engages four-wheel drive when it's needed - the Jeep Patriot is a car that gives its owners the very best of both worlds: the fuel-efficiency of a conventional hatchback and the go-anywhere ability and all-year round confidence customers expect of a Jeep.
4x4 Magazine recently awarded the Jeep Patriot 'Budget 4x4 of the Year 2010' at its annual awards ceremony. The judges praised the Patriot for its economical diesel engine, Freedom Drive ITM four wheel drive system and its long list of standard specification.
With its combination of fun, freedom, utility and acclaimed Jeep 4x4 capability, the 2010 Jeep Patriot stands out from the competition.
