Patriot Engine, Transmission, & Fuel Economy
Jeep has been radically redesigning their vehicles for 2011, and the 2011 Jeep Patriot, available in Bristol, TN, is no exception. A large number of changes have been made to both the interior and exterior in order to make the 2011 Patriot more sporty, luxurious, high-tech, and performance-oriented. And you can find this vehicle here at Friendship Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, serving Johnson City, Elizabethton, and Kingsport, TN.
Available in Sport, Latitude, Latitude X, and Latitude X 70th Anniversary trim levels, the 2011 Patriot comes powered by either a 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that generates 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or a 2.4-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine with Dual VVT that puts out 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. These engines can be mated to your choice of either a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Drivetrains range from the standard front-wheel drive to the light-duty Freedom Drive I 4WD system to the traditional Freedom Drive II 4WD system with low-range transfer case. Towing tops out at 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. Meanwhile, fuel economy varies depending on your choice of engine, transmission, and drivetrain; however, it maxes out at 23 city/29 highway MPG on a Patriot equipped with the 2.0L engine, MT, and FWD.
