2012 Jeep Patriot Overview
The 2012 Jeep Patriot looks like a miniature Grand Cherokee, but that's about all the two have in common.

In other words, the Jeep Patriot is trying to get a bit about a lot, but is not very good at all.
This could spell trouble for the Patriot as a few other attractive alternatives in the compact SUV class. Such choices are the Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 surpass the Patriot in the overall quality and performance of the duties.
