WHAT'S NEW: The Patriot is now available with a 5M behind the 2.0L four, upping highway fuel economy on the 2WD Sport to 29 mpg. Standard automatic is gone--the only other trans option is a CVT. All models now have driver and front-passenger active head restraints. Remote start is available and automatic climate control is available on the Patriot Limited.
BEST BUY: Optional fold-flat front passenger seat and fold-flat second row make this one of the most versatile interiors in its class.
