The Jeep Patriot, introduced in 2007 for the 2008 model year, was a compact SUV that aimed to bring a more affordable and fuel-efficient option to the Jeep lineup. The Patriot, built on the same platform as the Dodge Caliber, was designed with a more rugged aesthetic than its Dodge sibling, featuring a boxier body style and signature Jeep styling cues like the seven-slot grille. The 2010 model year saw several updates, including a new "Freedom Drive II" off-road package that offered a lockable rear differential and increased ground clearance, further enhancing its capability.

The 2010 Jeep Patriot was available with two engine options: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower, and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine offering 172 horsepower. While not known for its speed, the Patriot provided adequate power for daily driving and light off-road adventures. It offered various trim levels, including the base Sport, the more luxurious Limited, and the capable Freedom Drive II. The interior offered spacious seating for five occupants with a relatively comfortable ride quality, along with a functional dashboard and ample cargo space for its size. The 2010 Patriot was praised for its affordability, decent fuel economy, and off-road capabilities, making it a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a compact SUV with a bit of adventure in its DNA.
