This Year's Model Updates:
The 2011 Jeep Patriot gets updated exterior styling and a few better-quality interior trim pieces, plus standard cruise control. All models also get reworked steering and suspension hardware, while four-wheel-drive versions benefit from increased ride height. New options include 17-inch alloy wheels and a voice-control system for audio functions.
Pros:
- Jeep-lite styling
- Above-average off-road ability compared to most car-based crossovers
- Several clever features.
- Low base price
Cons:
- Power-sapping continuously variable transmission (CVT)
- Low-budget interior
- Sluggish acceleration
- Poor braking distances
- Limited cargo capacity.
- Disappointing base engine fuel economy
