With best-in-class fuel economy and a new navigation system, the 2008 Jeep Patriot is both efficient and innovative while carrying the essential spirit of Jeep ruggedness.

The Patriot is available in two trim levels – the efficient Sport and the upscale Limited. The available 2.0 liter 4-cylinder has plenty of smooth, quiet power with excellent fuel economy. The uplevel 2.4 liter 4-cylinder offers 172 horsepower for better passing power and quieter highway cruising. The smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transmission delivers positive shift action, while a choice of Continuously Variable Transmissions offer seamless gear shifts and adequate low range power for off-road situations.

Helping to achieve its 5-star side-impact crash test rating are the standard dual front airbags, available front seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain airbags with roll-sensing technology for optimal front and rear passenger protection. Standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes with Brake Assist and Traction Control help to reduce stopping distances and improve steering control. Handling capabilities are enhanced with an advanced Electronic Stability control system with all-speed traction control, brake assist, and Electronic Roll Mitigation. These systems work together by applying selective wheel braking and engine throttle control to help maintain directional stability.

Interior seating options include standard 60/40 split folding rear seats, allowing multiple load configurations and a maximum 62.7 cubic feet with the front passenger and rear seats folded. Available leather-trimmed heated front seats providing warmth on cold days and relief for sore muscles. Available amenities include an available DVD/stereo navigation system in Limited models, featuring turn-by-turn directions, a 5.8 color screen with full map display, voice instruction, and automatic reroute calculation for the ultimate guide in your journey. The available 458-watt Premium Sound System has fold-down liftgate speakers to share your music loud and clear. Available SIRIUS® Satellite Radio and the standard auxiliary audio jack offer clear, digital music from a satellite or your iPod®.

Spacious, fuel-efficient, and unabashedly rugged, the 2008 Jeep Patriot is small in stature, but offers big-time flexibility and a wealth of useful features.
