The Jeep Patriot is the brainchild of the old Chrysler administration, which sought to expand the most iconic car brand's portfolio. Building on the Dodge Caliber architecture, they came to market in 2007 with a small 4x4 named Patriot and a Jeep-style variant of the Caliber named Compass.

Crossover Special!
Friday, June 25, 2010
Crossovers are the modern evolution of traditional sport utility vehicles -- kind of new-millennium four-wheel Swiss knives! Over the past few years, this type of vehicle has gotten more and more diversified technically as well as aesthetically. In some cases, they even copy certain parts of passenger cars. No wonder consumers often get confused!

2010 Jeep Patriot 4WD North Edition Review
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
One of the casualties of restructuring is often the media relations budget and Chrysler/Jeep is no different. The budget for a media fleet was reduced significantly and many journalists were left without products to review. Fortunately for me, Saskatoon has a dealer body second to none and they volunteered to let me test (abuse??) one of their Jeep Patriots with the North Package.

2009 Jeep Patriot North 4WD Review
Friday, January 02, 2009
A first impression is hard to change. When you meet someone for the first time, it supposedly takes about 30 seconds to make an idea in your mind of what kind of person is standing in front of you, and if you like that person or not. The same goes for cars and trucks. Walk in a dealership and spot the vehicle you're interested in. After a few seconds, if the exterior shape pleases you, the next step is arguably to open the door and sit down in it.

2009 Jeep Patriot North 4WD Review
Sunday, December 14, 2008
When Jeep first launched the Patriot I was none too sure about it. After all, it's based on the Dodge Caliber, and although I love the value for money aspect of that vehicle, I couldn't quite fathom a Jeep version of it. Aren't Jeeps supposed to be rugged, go-anywhere types of vehicles? Would you call a Dodge Caliber with 4WD one of those? Well, I'm ready to eat my words and take back everything that I have said about the Patriot in the past, because after spending a week in one, I totally get it.

2007 Jeep Patriot North 4WD Road Test
Tuesday, December 18, 2007
A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to drive a Jeep -- a true Jeep. Not the biggest, not the most capable and certainly not the vehicle you would take to conquer Mount Everest (well, you know what I mean); just a decent little Jeep that's more family-oriented than geared for hardcore adventures. Yet, the new Patriot displays a true Jeep personality, albeit at a low price and without all the capabilities of its big brothers.

2007 Jeep Patriot Limited 4WD Road Test
Wednesday, July 04, 2007
After presenting us the Compass, certain people might have wondered what direction the legendary brand was heading towards. An urban Jeep, in the minds of the purists, the tough guys and gals that drive YJs, TJs and Wranglers year-round, is as unthinkable as Paris Hilton without makeup.

2007 Jeep Patriot First Impressions
Saturday, February 10, 2007
Scottsdale, Arizona - A "Trail Rated" SUV with no transfer case? Yes, Jeep made a bold move. The new Patriot also uses ABS, traction control and stability control systems to do the job, even though these features are decried by off-road purists.

Gone is the dash-mounted flower vase in the latest version of Volkswagen's Bug. Gone too is much of its cutesiness, replaced by a notable degree of sportiness intended to broaden the Beetle's target market by attracting male attention.
