The 2011 Jeep Patriot offers customers more capability than any other vehicle in the compact SUV class.

Chrysler World Gas Engines feature dual variable-valve timing and an intake manifold design with flow control valves on the 2.4-liter engine, typically found only on more expensive vehicles. Combined, these features produce more power, better fuel economy and smoother, quieter operation than engines without them.
