Patriot wins 4x4 award
The Jeep® Patriot 2.0 CRD Sport has been named "4x4 of the Year" by United Kingdom specialist magazine 4x4 and MPV Driver. The Patriot has been attracting customers from competitor brands such as Land Rover, Nissan and Honda since its launch in the UK in June this year. With nearly 800 sales to date, the Patriot appeals to customers that want a vehicle that is capable on- and off-road, but who also want the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a family hatchback. Commenting on the award which was announced in the December edition of the magazine, Bob Murray, editor of 4x4 and MPV Driver, said, “The Jeep Patriot is quicker than the Land Rover Freelander 2, more able off-road than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV 4, pumps out less CO2 than the Nissan X-Trail and has a boot around the size of the VW Tiguan’s. The Patriot is a cracking car to drive and promises to be a decent ownership proposition. It adds a welcome dash of adventure and U.S. style to a sometimes bland SUV market. At last you can have your American pie ... and eat it, too!” The publication recently awarded the Jeep brand the Gold Award in its Green 4x4 awards ahead of all other manufacturers of 4x4s and SUVs. They praised the Patriot as being the most economical 4x4 ever to wear the Jeep badge and the least polluting with their low CO2 emissions compared to manufacturers with smaller vehicles. Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler UK, said, “We are absolutely delighted to receive this top award for our latest model in the Jeep range."

Kudos to jeep for introducing the FIRST inexpensive, fuel-efficient suv that has the smallest carbon footprint available [in it's price range]! And congratulations to all of us owners for doing our part whether we intended to or not
