Overview
The 2015 Jeep Patriot, available at Auto Solutions in O'Fallon, Illinois, is a compact crossover SUV that combines affordability with the iconic ruggedness of the Jeep brand. Although it's an older model, the Patriot remains a solid choice for buyers prioritizing cost-effectiveness over cutting-edge features and performance, making it a popular option for our customers from Mascoutah, Scott AFB, Shiloh, Lebanon, and beyond.
Performance and Fuel Efficiency
Engine Options and Transmission
The 2015 Jeep Patriot offers two engine configurations, catering to a variety of driving preferences:
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine: Standard in the Sport and Latitude models, this engine delivers 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with a standard five-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission, providing flexibility for different driving styles.
2.4-liter four-cylinder engine: This more powerful option, standard on the Limited trim and available on other models, produces 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. Depending on the model and drivetrain, it's paired with a five-speed manual, six-speed automatic, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Fuel Economy for 2015 Jeep Patriot
Fuel efficiency varies depending on the engine and transmission choice:
2.0-liter with six-speed automatic: Achieves 24 mpg combined (22 city/27 highway).
2.0-liter with manual transmission: Slightly more efficient at 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway).
2.4-liter with six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive: Offers 23 mpg combined (21 city/28 highway).
While these numbers are respectable, the Patriot, particularly when equipped with the Freedom Drive II package, doesn't quite match the fuel efficiency of its more modern competitors. The Freedom Drive II package, designed for off-road capability, reduces efficiency to 21 mpg combined.
Auto Solutions Pro Tip Of the Day |
At Auto Solutions in O'Fallon, Illinois, we always aim to provide our customers with valuable insights to enhance their car-buying experience. Today, our pro tip focuses on maximizing comfort and functionality with optional features available in various vehicle trims. One of the most popular optional features among car buyers is heated seats. These are especially appreciated during cold Illinois winters, offering warmth and comfort during your drive. Pairing heated seats with leather seats not only adds a touch of luxury to your vehicle but also makes for easy cleaning and maintenance. When considering different vehicle trims, pay attention to the available features, such as Steering Wheel Controls. These controls provide convenient access to your vehicle's audio and navigation systems, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Another important consideration is the choice between a Four-Wheel Drive Engine and a Front-Wheel Drive Engine. A Four-Wheel Drive Engine offers better traction and control, making it ideal for off-road adventures or driving in inclement weather. On the other hand, a Front-Wheel Drive Engine is generally more fuel-efficient and provides adequate performance for everyday driving. Lastly, safety features like ABS brakes are crucial for enhancing your vehicle's braking performance, helping to prevent skidding and maintain control during sudden stops. At Auto Solutions, we encourage our customers to explore these optional features and consider how they can enhance their driving experience. Whether you're looking for added comfort, safety, or performance, there's a vehicle trim with the right combination of features for you.
