The Jeep Patriot was a mid-size SUV that previously sold alongside the Compass.
Although it competed in a highly contested segment, the Patriot did not sell in similar volumes to its rivals and was not renewed when the new-generation Jeep Compass arrived in Australia in late 2017.
Unlike some contemporary SUVs, the Patriot had a few systems to support off-road driving, despite being predominantly front-drive. This design choice was continued through to the Compass.
Rivals for the Patriot included the popular Subaru Forester, Nissan X-Trail and Toyota RAV4.
Jeep fans looking for something in a similar size-bracket can also choose from the larger mid-size Cherokee or smaller Renegade.
Among a field of popular, but fairly bland, Japanese options the Jeep Patriot seems like an interesting choice for those who can't afford or fit the Grand Cherokee into their lives. Unfortunately Patriots aren't the most reliable vehicle compared to the sturdy Toyota RAV4 or Volkswagen Tiguan, which are the small SUVs I'd suggest investigating.

Use a plastic trim removal tool to pop out the radio and air conditioning fascia panel by prying around the edge. Unplug the wiring connector, then remove the four Phillips-head screws holding the radio unit in. Slide it out, disconnect it and remove it from the car.

The Jeep Patriot can tow 750kg of unbraked trailer (like a common box trailer, or small boat trailer), or up to a theoretical limit of 1500kg if the trailer is equipped with brakes.
