Both models come with the same choice of engines, although the more rugged-looking Patriot costs a £2k less and apparently appeals more to men, while the softer Compass is aimed more at women. I should like the Patriot, then…Jeep Patriot 2.0 CRD Limited manual full road test reportWe already established that the 2.0 CRD is a sweet engine, and it’s not thirsty either. After one trip I was surprised to see that the fuel gauge needle had barely moved, and with a combined figure of 42.2mpg and an impressive 51.4mpg on the extra urban cycle, that’s not surprising. Group 11 insurance and 180g/km of CO2 are also both pretty reasonable. The thinking behind the Patriot is that it should be affordable enough to tempt new buyers into a Jeep for the first time. Based on my experience, and the number of Patriots I’ve seen out and about, I reckon Jeep is very much on the right track.
