Under the Patriot's Hood
Jeep offers great engine options with the Patriot, having crafted the powertrain with mechanisms to maximize fuel economy and power whenever possible. The base configuration features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 158 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. It features a front-wheel drive system and a five-speed manual transmission, though customers can alternately equip a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The optional engine comes in the form of a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, and it delivers 171 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard with front-wheel drive, though it is available with Freedom Drive I or Freedom Drive II, which are both all-wheel drive systems. The 2.4-liter will utilize a six-speed conventional automatic transmission with most configurations, however, the Freedom Drive II off-road package will receive a unique CVT that has low-range gearing for a great off-road performance.
