Gosh! you were the first one Rends!
mmm....look at the difference in shape of A & B pillars between both pics.
Is the dashboard in pic #2 photoshopped?
 
Kind of like the more squared off corners of the previous pats. Everything about the patriot is square and I guess I liked the consistency.

In general though not really a hill of beans worth of difference.
 
ya, the second picture is kinda crude, it looks like the dash of the first picture photoshopped into an existing Patriot interior

Where on allpar did you find this?

I like the round airvents. Looks much more solid and not so cheap as the current one.
The door pin doesn´t stick out of the plastic like a nail anymore (first image).

The edges on top of the middle console are rounder and looks more 2008 than 1980 ;)

It´s hard to tell but are the 2 tone doors back like the 07 model ?

Is it only me or is the open glovebox different from the current one? It doesn´t look so deep.

Seems that the headrests are the same. Hey did you know that they were just rated good in a british insurany backend crashtest?

BTW:un4gtbl i found this in the news and rumor forum.
 
I can see that being a nice interior for the Compass since its more "rounded off" but too weird for the Patriot I think...

Thanks, I completely forgot that I was registered over there :doh:
 
Thanks for the exklusiv, Rends. The A-pillar in the first picture doesn't belong to a Patriot, that's for sure. And there are more differences in details between the 2 pictures, so I guess they belong to different cars.
 
Gotta agree with the rest. The top looks like maybe the Compass and the bottom the Patriot? The pillar angle is much different between the two.

Also notice the center console in the lower picture looks exactly like the current Patriot center console with the ipod holder. I thought they were doing away with this and adding soft touch. It doesn't look like the center console in the pictures posted previously.

Something not quite right here.

Thanks for the pics, and keeping us informed. :smiley_thumbs_up:

It seems to be that the first image shows the 2009 Jeep Compass while the second shows a photoshopped 2008 Patriot with the new dashboard/middle console.

Umm, I ll keep mine. Not a big fan of the Dodge Stratus Dash.
I guess you are not the target but the people who leaved the lot without a Pat because they didn´t liked the Patriot 07-08 interior.

Reread the old reviews and in most you will find that they complain about the interior material/quality.
This should be fixed now.

Have to completely disagree with almost all the avove. The Jeep is supposed to look more utilitarian, manly, and retro.

The round look of the vents and dash look sissified. Not to mention you will have to completely clashing styles going on in one vehicle. Yuck.

Until I actually see one in a patriot it does just look like they photoshopped the compass interior into the patriot.

The reviews for the most part do not knock the styling of interior at worst they call it utilitarian. They do sometimes knock the build quality and materials, but your pictures do nothing to show that might have changed or not.

I personally think the compass is god aweful ugly inside and out, but as long as they keep it seperated I don't see a problem. If they start bringing styling ques over from the compass to the patriot that is going to far and where I have big problems with Jeep. Keep that eyesore away from the Patriot. The sales figures speak for themselves. The compass is the less popular aesthetic value even with a year head start over the patriot.

Sorry Compass people, your vehicle is fine as long as it stays in your vehicle.
 
Something here doesn't add up (leaked before it was finished?). The center armrest in one pic is the same as the outgoing models complete with the integrated ipod holder (which they said was discontinued due to customer feedback).

It doesn't look like the initial renderings we saw a while back either.

They have a leak! ;)
