Jeep® Patriot 2.0 CRD Sport named 4×4 of the year

UK based magazine 4×4 and MPV Driver has named the highly acclaimed Jeep® Patriot 2.0 CRD Sport 4×4 of the Year.

According to an article in carpages.co.uk, the Patriot is newly launched into the UK market and is taking business from the incumbents Land Rover, Nissan and Honda.

The combination of being ‘off-roadable’, performance handling, fuel efficiency and low price seem to be making this an ideal family vehicle in the UK.

In the December announcement, Bob Murray, Editor of 4×4 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.”
