 Reviews and test drives Chrysler Jeep Patriot Staying true to its strong values and character, the Jeep® brand is purpose-built adventure equipment which inspires extraordinary journeys.  The range of Jeep vehicles includes the Grand Cherokee, the new Cherokee, Commander, Compass, Patriot, Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. The 2009 version of Jeep’s acclaimed Patriot features an all-new, high quality interior. Improvements inside the Patriot include an all-new instrument panel, redesigned centre console and remodelled door trim. The instrument panel has been given a superior smoother look while new circular heating, ventilation and air-conditioning vents are surrounded by tasteful chrome. The centre console now has a split lid to boost storage space and as with the door trim its arm rests have more padding for increased comfort. All models now feature a carpeted boot floor and premium floor mats and there are new sound systems. Standard on Sport models is a single-disc CD AM/FM RDS radio with AUX and MP3 capability while Limited versions get a six-disc CD radio, again with AUX and MP3 capability. Optional is the new Sound and Navigation Group, Jeep’s state-of-the-art vehicle infotainment system, with the premium Boston Acoustics® sound system. All Patriots come with a long list of standard features including Freedom-Drive™ 4x4 system which offers a response in real time to changes in driving conditions, adapted to your style. Also, electric windows, latest generation front and side-curtain airbags, air conditioning, 17 inch aluminium wheels, independent McPherson suspension, ABS and ESP with Electronic Roll Mitigation, six-speed transmission and electronic speed control. An electric sunroof is optional. To prevent unpleasant surprises, the Sentry Key® immobiliser which operates on a special frequency, prevents the engine being started without the use of the correctly encoded key. The security alarm system adds extra security to the new Jeep Patriot. Along with a competitive price and Jeep’s legendary off-road ability, excellent fuel economy also comes as standard. The 2.0 CRD returns a wallet (or purse) welcoming 42.2mpg or 4.18 litres per 100km. The Jeep Patriot is the ultimate expression of the spirit of freedom and adventure. The Jeep’s classic design represents a modern interpretation of the original vehicle and is easily identifiable by its angular silhouette, grille and round headlights. Prices for the 2009 Jeep Patriot range start at 26,744 euros for the 2-litre 140CV CRD Sport and 27,930 euros for the 2 litre CRD Limited model.
