Behind the Wheel

Jeep Patriot is the lowest-priced SUV by ANN M. JOB Associated Press

Buyers with a small-car budget don’t have to settle for a small car when they would rather drive a sport utility vehicle. In fact, they can get a new Jeep for less than the retail price of a 2013 Toyota Corolla sedan. The 2013 Jeep Patriot, with rugged good looks and the high ride height that many drivers enjoy, has the lowest starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, of any new SUV on the market. The base, five-passenger, two-wheel drive, 2013 Patriot with five-speed manual transmission starts at just $16,990, while the base 2013 Patriot with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that operates like an automatic starts at $18,090. Even with four-wheel drive added, the Americanmade, 2013 Patriot remains bargain-priced at $18,990. In comparison, competing compact SUVs by South Korea’s Kia and Hyundai brands have starting retail prices of more than $19,800 as two-wheel drive models. And the top-selling Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 compact SUVs have starting MSRPs, including destination charges, of more than $23,600 for base, two-wheel drive models. Buyers of the Patriot, however, shouldn’t expect to get all the features of the higher-priced SUVs. The lowest-priced Patriot model — the Sport — does not include air conditioning and has manual, crank windows and manually adjusted outside mirrors. In addition, the Patriot comes with a choice of two four-cylinder engines — one offering 158 horsepower

and the other 172 horses — but neither has great fuel economy. Federal government ratings range between 20 and 23 miles per gallon in city driving and 23 and 30 mpg on the highway, depending on the Patriot model. In comparison, the 2013 Mazda CX-5 with four cylinder and automatic transmission is rated at 26/32 mpg and leads all non-hybrid, four-cylinder-powered, compact SUVs in fuel economy. Plus, the 2013 Patriot comes with a smallish, 13.6gallon fuel tank. So the range for the Patriot on a single tank of gasoline can be less than 330 miles. The test Patriot Latitude 4X4 model, with uplevel, 172-horsepower four cylinder, averaged only 19 mpg, providing a range of less than 260 miles on a single tank. Most of the driving was in city and suburb conditions. Yet, this Patriot’s transmission was the CVT, which is designed to optimize gear ratios for improved fuel economy. Alas, the Patriot’s CVT also annoyed by keeping the engine at noisy, high revs, even as acceleration lagged. Torque in this uplevel, 2.4liter four cylinder peaks at 165 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm. Jeep officials are addressing the CVT issue by substituting a six-speed automatic in the 2014 Patriot. The fivespeed manual and the two four cylinder powerplants remain. Mechanically, the Patriot, which was introduced as a new 2007 model, is based on the Dodge Caliber hatchback that Chrysler. built through the 2012 model year. The Patriot also uses many of the same components,

In Focus 2013 Jeep Patriot Latitude 4X4 BASE PRICE: $15,995 for Sport 4X2; $17,995 for Sport 4X4; $19,795 for Latitude 4X2; $23,095 for Latitude 4X4. PRICE AS TESTED:

The 2013 Jeep Patriot base with five-speed manual transmission starts at $16,990, and the base with continuously variable transmission starts at $18,090. such as four-cylinder engines, as the Jeep Compass. The Compass, however, comes with more standard features than the Patriot and has a higher starting retail price of $20,490. The Patriot is available with two-wheel drive as well as two different kinds of four-wheel drive systems — one of which includes a low range and other offroading necessities. The Patriot looks like a Jeep, with upright grille and boxy styling. Inside, the 2013 Patriot has a straightforward, not fancy, dashboard and instrument cluster and doesn’t offer a rearview camera, which is a standard feature on the RAV4 and CR-V. The ride is quite good. The test Patriot Latitude 4X4, with uplevel 17-inch, all-terrain tires, rode nicely on both pavement

and dirt lanes. The front, independent MacPherson strut suspension and rear, independent, multi-link setup worked well to keep harsh jolts away from passengers. There was a tippy feeling in sweeping curves, but the Patriot moved along with purpose. Too bad the rack-andpinion steering wasn’t precise. Driver and passengers liked the good views that the 5-foot-6-inch-tall Patriot 4X4 provided. Ground clearance can be as much as 8.1 inches, which means the Patriot is ready for straddling off-road obstacles. There’s a good 39-plus inches of legroom in front and back seats. But back seat passengers must arrange their feet around front-seat tracks that intrude into rear foot space.

The Patriot has ample headroom of at least 40 inches in both front and back seats. Seats have upright positioning and are rather flat, not sculpted, in their shape. Cushions have a spongy feel and are not plush and the cloth on the seats of the test Patriot looked basic even though Jeep calls it “deluxe.” The Patriot comes standard with usual safety equipment, such as electronic stability control, traction control and frontal and curtain air bags. But seatmounted side air bags are extra on the base model. While earning four out of five stars in federal government crash testing overall, the 2013 Patriot only received three out of five stars for occupant protection in frontal crash testing. This compares with across-theboard five stars for the CR-V.

All About Cars

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee lives up to tradition

While the Jeep brand heralds that it is the original sport-utility vehicle beginning in 1941, the Americanbuilt Jeep Grand Cherokee traces its origins back to American Motors Corp. in 1983, when the automaker sought to create a successor to the smaller Jeep Cherokee XJ. When Chrysler bought AMC in 1987, Grand Cherokee became the first Chrysler-badged Jeep product. The current generation SUV went on sale in summer 2010 as a 2011 model and it is scheduled to be replaced by the all-new next-generation 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to be built at Chrysler Group’s Toledo Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio. It will arrive in dealer showrooms in the third quarter of this year. But the 2013 Grand Cherokee is no lame duck, with a sleek body and new upscale standard features for its Overland Summit models, including front park assist, power folding outside mirrors and headlight washers and Nappa leather seating.

Trademark grille

Jeep’s trademark 6-vertical bar grille leads the steel uniframed four-door sportutility that weighs in with a curb weight of 4632 pounds and measures 189.8 inches in length, 84.9 inches in width at the mirrors (body width is 76.5 inches), and 69.3 inches in height at the roof rails, on a 114.8-inch wheelbase, with a sill step-in height of 20.7 inches and a minimum ground clearance of 8.6 inches. The traditional rugged Jeep look is rounded and sophisticated now, with such enhancements as body side molding, body-color front and rear bumpers, chrome and bright trim around the side windows and on the side of the body, body-color heated driver and passenger power door mirrors, front fog lights, halogen headlights with complex surface lenses, laminated side windows, al-

loy-look trim, pearl paint rear side windows, rear window with defroster, roof spoiler, tinted glass and intermittent windshield wipers.

Powerful engines Jeep power comes from either the more economical 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 Engine that is flex-fuel, and is rated at 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway for its 4x4 models, or the 5.7-liter V-8 engine that gets 13/20. The larger engine produces the most power – 360 hp and 390 lbs.-ft. of torque and also delivers the best performance, brawn, towing power and fun factor, but the 3.6-liter is dependable and powerful in its own right with 290 horses and 260 lbs.-ft. of torque. My test Cherokee Limited was outfitted with the smaller engine and it performed admirably. I averaged 19.9 mpg and was able to pass well at speed, tackle and defeat long hills and inclines, muscle out of off-road mud pits and dash around the track during a 9-second flat zero-to-60 mph sprint and 16.9-second quarter-mile. My Grand Cherokee took the bumps and lumps out of early spring macadam irregularities and hugged the road well both in normal driving and aggressive autocross activities. Extreme turns at speed showed heavy steering, but my test Jeep was confident and reliable in all tests.

Packed cabin The cabin is filled with an assortment of items that pamper as well as function. Packed with optional items listed below, the standard Grand Cherokee cabin also

comes with climate control, compass, trip computer, outside air temperature indicator, headlight control with dusk sensor, low tire pressure indicator, front and rear reading lights, rear view mirror, steering wheel mounted remote audio controls, remote control trunk/hatch release, six speakers, leather-trimmed, tilt telescoping steering wheel and ventilation system with micro filter. Cabin space is accommodating, but not spacious. Front headroom measures 39.9 inches with rear headroom coming in at 39.2; first row legroom is 40.3 inches with second-seat passengers getting 38.6 inches and shoulder room is 58.7 inches in the first seats with 58 inches in row two.

Safety measures Jeep Grand Cherokee includes more than 50 safety and security features and is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick. Standard safety features include electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, four-wheel anti-lock brake system with roughroad detection, four-wheel brake traction control system and seat-belt pretensioners. Other standard safety features include full-length side-curtain air bags, seatmounted side thorax air bags and active head restraints, which deploy in the event of a rear collision. The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in six trims and more than a dozen variations beginning with the base Laredo 4x2 at $27,695 and upscaling to the SRT8 Vapor at $62,790. In between you get the Laredo X starting at $34,995; Altitude at $36,195; Limited at $37.095; Overland at $40,495; Trailhawk at $41,995; Overland Summit at $44,495 and the SRT8 class starting at $60,295.
