Is the Jeep Patriot Sport AWD?
I’ve always wanted to buy a Jeep and I found a good deal online for a Jeep Patriot Sport. I want all-wheel drive (AWD), but I’m not sure if this is an option. Does the Jeep Patriot Sport have AWD?
Eric Schad · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Like the rest of the Jeep lineup, the
Jeep Patriot Sport
is not AWD, but it does offer four-wheel drive (4WD). While AWD is always engaged, 4WD on Jeeps is manually turned on by the driver. This gives the Patriot Sport off-road capability when needed.
Cheaper versions of the Jeep Patriot Sport only come with rear-wheel drive. These models aren’t as off-road capable, but if you’re staying on the pavement, it can save you thousands of dollars on a used model.
The other major decision is whether you want the 158-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or the available 172-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder. The 2.4-liter obviously provides more power, but the 2.0-liter provides a slight edge on fuel economy (1 mpg more combined).
