Segment-leading Capability
The 2013 Jeep Patriot offers customers Best-in-Class 4x4 off-road capability with available Jeep Freedom Drive II® and is the most fuel efficient 4x4 SUV in Canada.

Jeep Patriot is available in three drivetrain configurations. In addition to the standard front-wheel-drive system, it also is available with Freedom Drive I® and the Freedom Drive II® 4x4 systems. 

Jeep Freedom Drive I is an available full-time, active four-wheel-drive system with lock mode, designed to give drivers year-round assurance with the ability to handle rough weather and low-traction conditions. This active four-wheel-drive system is recommended for daily use, including slick conditions that come with rain and light snow.  Freedom Drive I also features a lockable centre coupling, giving drivers the ability to put the Jeep Patriot in four-wheel-drive lock mode to handle deep snow, sand and other low-traction surfaces. 

The Jeep Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package is an available four-wheel-drive system that delivers Jeep Trail Rated® capability for those seeking a true off-road adventure. The Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package includes a second-generation continuously variable transaxle with low range (CVT2) that engages when the off-road mode is activated, 19:1 crawl ratio, 17-inch all-terrain tires and aluminum wheels, a full-size spare tire, skid plates, tow hooks, fog lamps and manual seat height adjuster. The available Freedom Drive II Off-Road Package is recommended for moderate off-road situations that include steep grades, occasional wheel lift and rock or log climbing. 

The 2013 Jeep Patriot’s powertrain is designed to deliver world-class performance in all weather conditions, with exceptional fuel economy and refinement, all at an affordable, value-packed price. 

The Jeep Patriot features a standard 2.0-litre I-4 cylinder engine for the 2013 Patriot Sport and North 4x2 models that provide 158 horsepower and 141 lb.-ft. of torque coupled with the continuously variable transmission (CVT), and delivers 9.1 L/100 km (31 mpg) in the city, and 6.8 L/100 km (42 mpg) on the highway when mated to the five-speed manual transmission. 

The proven 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engine produces 172 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. of torque and is available on Sport and North models and standard on the Limited. This 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engine has dual variable-valve timing (VVT) on both intake and exhaust camshafts, which helps optimize the torque curve at all speeds and produces more power, better fuel economy and smoother, quieter operation than engines without dual VVT. Dual VVT is a technology that is typically not available on vehicles sold in Canada in the Jeep Patriot’s price class. The Patriot’s 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed manual transaxle in front-wheel drive configuration delivers 9.0 L/100 km (31 mpg) in the city, and 7.0 L/100 km (40 mpg) on the highway. 

The 2013 Jeep Patriot also features a standard five-speed manual transaxle on the entry-level Patriot Sport, North and Limited models. A CVT is also available on every Patriot model. The Patriot’s CVT2 is a second-generation CVT that Chrysler Group engineers calibrated for precise ratio control. CVT contributes to a fuel economy improvement of 6–8 per cent compared with a traditional four-speed automatic. The 2013 Jeep Patriot CVT also improves vehicle performance compared with a traditional automatic transaxle because of optimized gear ratios, especially in the 50–100 km/h range during passing manoeuvers.  When properly equipped, the 2013 Jeep Patriot delivers unsurpassed maximum towing up to 907 kg (2,000 lb).
