Jeep Australia

Patriot comes with a choice of a fuel efficient 2.0-litre petrol engine and a punchy 125 kW 2.4-litre petrol engine.

Both engines offer loads of smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient power, with high-revving highway-passing muscle when needed. The strong and efficient engine employs dual overhead cams (DOHC) and dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) on both intake and exhaust camshafts. The electronically controlled timing is continuously adjusted to provide either maximum power or fuel efficiency - depending upon the demands of that instant.

Five-Speed Manual

Patriot's smooth shifting five-speed manual transaxle mates beautifully with the 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre engines for powerful acceleration, outstanding fuel economy, and solid overall performance.

CVT Transaxle with Auto Stick^®

The available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a great choice for those that want a more relaxed driving experience. A CVT is free of the constraints of traditional fixed-ratio automatic transmissions. It can choose the best ratio for any driving condition, thereby operating at optimum efficiency and providing improved fuel economy and performance.

If you do however want to take the reigns, Auto Stick allows for either fully automatic shifting or driver-interactive manual control with six simulated stepped-gear ratios. Auto Stick allows you to maximise engine braking, control upshifts and downshifts, and add to overall driving performance.

Fuel Efficiency

When it comes to balancing power and fuel economy, Jeep takes this capability as seriously as the traditional traits one expects from a legendary Jeep vehicle. With 115 kW and 190 N.m on tap, the 2.0-litre petrol engine delivers the performance you need without the penalty at the pump. In fact, with fuel economy as low as 6.1L per 100 kilometres⁽¹⁾, Patriot can travel over 700 km between stops during highway touring.
