In preparation for this article I did much research on the 2009 Jeep Patriot. Of all the information and reviews that I read, I could only find one negative aspect to report. That is the limited ability for acceleration. Meanwhile some of the positives were it's amazing off-road capabilities, followed by it's surprising cargo room. While the bulky boxy styling of the Patriot leaves no doubt that it is all Jeep, it doesn't handle like a jeep. If you liked the Cherokee you will love the newly improved Jeep patriot. With it's standard issue 174hp 2. 4L engine and manual five speed transmission, it is obvious that this jeep was designed, in the spirit of all the jeeps before, to see off-road duty as much as on-road errands. With the optional Continuously Variable Transmission, commonly referred to as the CVT, when applied to the front wheel drive sport trim model, can be powered by an 158hp 2. 0L engine. The patriot is available in either front wheel drive or with the optional four wheel drive system that includes a "lock: mode. This mode significantly improves traction in poor weather conditions. The Freedom Drive Off-Road Group includes some equipment that is normally seen on SUV's with a much higher price tag. Some of that equipment is a continuously variable transaxle with low range that is engaged by activating the off road mode. Other features include hill descent control, an extra inch of ground clearance and locking differential. Tire pressure monitoring, front and side curtain air bags, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability program combine to give the 2009 Jeep Patriot an impressive 9. 1 safety rating. Stability control uses reduced engine power and selectively applied braking to assist the driver in keeping control when it senses the vehicles handling limits have been surpassed. Some unique features that come in the 2009 Jeep Patriot are the overhead air bags. As you may assume, these are to protect the occupants head in the event of a side collision or roll over. The Patriot includes components that provide off-road capabilities unequalled by other SUV's in its class. The interior was the source of complaints on previous models, therefore it was improved for the 2009 year. Enhancements to the instrument panel, centre console and the addition of some chrome trim are just part of the list. Illuminated cup holders serve as functional, yet offer the feel of elegance. The wireless cell phone link combined with the 30 gig hard drive for storing digital music or pictures, and the upgraded six disc cd player with satellite radio combined with the navigation system are just some of the features you will find useful on your 2009 Jeep Patriot.
