Under the Patriot's HoodThe Patriot has 2 engine elections to vote for and 5 unique transmissions! The Patriot's 2.0-L DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with dual VVT maintains 158 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. The 2.4-liter, depending on 2- or 4-wheel drive setup as well as model choice, can be buddied up with the continuously variable transaxle II low (CVT2L), a 6-speed automatic with Autostick, or a 5-speed automatic transmission. There is a 2.0-L engine also that can use the continuously variable transaxle II (CVT2) with Autostick (2WD only) transmission. The other option for that engine is to put in a 5-speed manual (2WD only) transmission. A 2.4L DOHC 16-valve dual VVT four-cylinder engine is an option for the 2017 Jeep Patriot with its 172 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. The bigger of the two engines can be mixed into the two unique AWD systems (as options), via the Freedom Drive I and the Freedom Drive II systems. The Freedom Drive I is a continually-running assistant (for adverse roads), and the Freedom Drive II is meant for success in off-road predicaments. The Trailer Tow Prep Group can be added to the Patriot too, which makes trailering easier with hill-start assist and hill-descent control. Front-wheel drive is possible on either engine as an option, which decides the available transmission configurations that go with it. When the Jeep Patriot is sufficiently outfitted, it can tow 2,000-lbs at maximum. |
