After months of waiting, the most affordable SUV on the market is finally here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Medford: the 2014 Jeep Patriot. We're happy to report to our industry blog readers that it's everything we expected, plus a little more.
This new model year brought lots of big changes to this SUV, inside and out and under its hood. The primary goal of the Jeep brand in designing the new Patriot was to provide the rugged and iconic look that fans of the brand have come to expect with each new vehicle that arrives in our Medford, OR showroom while ensuring that it can handle going off-road. And don't forget that they wanted to offer all of this at an incredibly low price. Given that it starts at just $15,995 and the top Limited trim level goes for $23,995, we'd say mission accomplished.
The all-new Patriot is available in three trim levels and seats five passengers. All of the trims that are equipped with all-wheel drive can have additional off-roading capability added with the optional Freedom-Drive II Off-Road Group package, which includes:
- A full-size spare tire
- An enhanced four-wheel drive system
- Tow hooks
- Hill descent control
- Skid plates
