The more traditionally styled Patriot model shares its platform with the Compass but offers a different, full-time Freedom Drive II four-wheel-drive system with low range gearing that earns it the much-desired "Trail-Rated" capability the street-oriented Compass doesn't offer. Though not as tough as the Liberty or the Wrangler, the Patriot offers a significant step up in rough-terrain capability relative to the Compass, as well as exterior styling that's more "trucky." Standard safety features on the base Patriot include side curtain airbags, stability and traction control, Electronic Roll Mitigation and anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist and rough-road detection technology. All models (base and Limited) come with and AM/FM radio with CD player and auxiliary audio input jack, tilt steering wheel, rear window defroster and a center console sliding armrest that can be moved forward to accommodate shorter drivers. The standard drivetrain is the same as the one used in the Compass -- a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine good for 172 horsepower with the buyer's choice of five-speed manual or CVT. Though not confirmed at the time of this writing, a high-efficiency diesel engine may become available later in 2007 or 2008.
