The 2014 Jeep Patriot ranks 23 out of 23 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Jeep Patriot, as well as reliability and safety data.

Test drivers say that the 2014 Jeep Patriot falls short of the competition with its underpowered engines and cheap interior materials.

2014 Jeep Patriot

The 2014 Jeep Patriot comes standard with a four-cylinder engine, which reviewers say is underpowered, and a five-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission and a more powerful four-cylinder engine are available on all trims, while a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is optional on four-wheel drive models. Reviewers say that acceleration is also sluggish with the more powerful engine, and that there’s inadequate power for passing and merging.

Most reviewers prefer the six-speed automatic transmission over the CVT, which they say makes the best use of the engine’s limited power. The Patriot gets up to 23/30 mpg city/highway, which is comparable with the fuel economy of compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape. Test drivers agree that the Jeep Patriot doesn't match the sporty handling of many higher-ranking competitors. Some say it feels unstable over bumps and at highway speeds, and that the steering is unresponsive and slow.
