What changed for the 2017 Jeep Patriot
The 2017 Patriot versus 2016: what's different, from the factory charts and spec sheets.
- Last model year: 2017 is the final year of the Patriot in the manufacturer's data we cover.
- New trims: Sport SE, Sport - 75th Anniversary and High Altitude.
- Powertrain no longer listed: 2.0-liter 16-valve dual VVT four-cylinder with continuously-variable automatic.
- New option packages: Mopar Electronics Group, Mopar Interior Appearance, Mopar Katzkin Black Leather and Mopar Trailer Tow Group.
- Packages no longer offered: High Altitude Package, ParkView Rear Backup Camera and Sport SE Package.
Compared automatically from the manufacturer's trim feature charts, specification sheets, towing guides and the EPA's fuel-economy data for 2016 and 2017. The manufacturer reorganized this year's equipment chart, so features can't be matched line by line with last year's; trims, packages and powertrains above are still compared. Equipment varies by trim and market; confirm details on a specific vehicle.

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Salt, snow and hills: the data
Reading the 2017 Patriot data for Great Lakes roads
None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2017 Jeep Patriot lines that matter for an Evansville winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.
Tire choices for squall and thaw
Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P205/70R16 on 16-inch wheels to P225/60R17 on 17-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.
What the manual says about oil
Oil capacity is 4.5 qt, and the manual lists SAE 5W-20. Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in an Indiana winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.
Battery checks before the cold
The spec sheet lists 525 cold-cranking amps. A Patriot left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.
Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows
This model year offers front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. In Indiana, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.
Mountain roads in the schedule
The schedule shortens the automatic transmission fluid interval for frequent driving on mountain roads, rough or unpaved roads, short trips or heavy hot-weather traffic, first at 60,000 miles. Daily driving in southern West Virginia or eastern Kentucky checks more than one of those boxes, so treat the shorter interval as the normal one there.
Pressure, potholes and the thermometer
Whatever size the Patriot wears, from the factory P205/70R16 on up, correct inflation is the cheapest pothole defense there is: a soft tire lets the wheel slam into the far edge of the hole. Check pressures when the tires are cold, since a reading taken after a highway run will look high.
Clearance for frozen ruts and hollow roads
Listed ground clearance: 8.1 to 9.1 inches. Two places in this region test it. One is a snowbelt side street after a squall, where frozen ruts form before the plow comes back. The other is a gravel road up an Appalachian hollow, where a high crown and washouts can catch a low underbody. Knowing the figure helps you choose a line instead of guessing.
Tank size for hill country
The 2017 Jeep Patriot holds 13.6 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.
Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2017 Patriot. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.
2017 Jeep Patriot questions
How much oil does the 2017 Jeep Patriot take?
With a filter change: 2.0L and 2.4L engines (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 4.5 qt / 4.26 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.
What kind of oil does the 2017 Jeep Patriot use?
Engine oil: SAE 5W-20, API certified (MS-6395) and Engine oil filter: Mopar engine oil filter or equivalent.
When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2017 Jeep Patriot?
At 20,000 miles: inspect the cv joints; inspect front suspension, boot seals. tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect brake linings, replace if necessary. check park brake function, adjust if necessary; replace air conditioning/cabin air filter. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.
Where can I find the 2017 Jeep Patriot owner's manual?
The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.
What MPG does the 2017 Jeep Patriot get?
The EPA rates the 2017 Jeep Patriot at 21–25 MPG combined, depending on the version. 2.0L 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual, FWD: 23 city / 30 highway / 25 combined; 2.0L 4-cylinder, CVT (continuously variable), FWD: 22 city / 26 highway / 24 combined; 2.4L 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual, FWD: 23 city / 28 highway / 25 combined; 2.4L 4-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, FWD: 21 city / 27 highway / 23 combined; 2.4L 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual, AWD: 22 city / 27 highway / 24 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.
What size tires does the 2017 Jeep Patriot use?
Factory tire sizes: P205/70R16 (Patriot Sport); P215/60R17 (Patriot Latitude and Limited); P215/65R17 (Freedom Drive II Off-road Package and Tire and Wheel Group); P225/60R17 (Patriot Latitude).

What are the most common safety complaints about the 2017 Jeep Patriot?
Owners have filed 59 complaints about the 2017 Jeep Patriot with NHTSA. The components named most often are power train (15), unknown or other (15), and engine (9). 7 complaints involved a crash and 1 complaint a fire. Complaints are reports from owners that NHTSA does not verify, so treat them as a signal to look into, not a finding.
What is the 2017 Jeep Patriot's NHTSA crash-test rating?
NHTSA's overall 5-Star Safety Rating for the 2017 Jeep Patriot is 4 out of 5 stars (Jeep Patriot SUV 4WD: 4 and Jeep Patriot SUV FWD: 4). The rating combines frontal, side and rollover tests.
Specifications come from the manufacturer's spec comparison and its media-site specification sheets; maintenance schedules, fluids and publications come from Mopar's owner site and owner's manuals. Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle. This model is no longer sold new.
