The 2007 Jeep Patriot, a compact SUV, marked a departure from the brand's traditional rugged image, targeting a more urban and fuel-conscious market. It was built on the same platform as the Dodge Caliber and shared many of its components. The Patriot offered a spacious and versatile interior, with ample headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers. It boasted a high ground clearance and a relatively low starting price, making it an appealing option for buyers looking for a capable off-road vehicle without breaking the bank. The 2007 Patriot came equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 158 horsepower, paired with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. It was available in three trim levels: Sport, Limited, and North Edition. While the Patriot wasn't a pure off-roader, its standard front-wheel drive system, coupled with available options such as four-wheel drive and an optional "Freedom Drive II" system offering low-range gearing and a locking rear differential, provided respectable off-road capability. The Patriot also offered commendable fuel efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway with the manual transmission. Despite the shift in target market, the 2007 Patriot retained some of the Jeep's signature ruggedness, with its boxy design, high-mounted headlights, and an optional "Trail Rated" badge for models equipped with the off-road package. However, its reliance on shared components and its relatively conservative design often drew comparisons to its Dodge sibling, leading to some criticism for lacking a distinct Jeep personality.
