Powertrain

Good power. Good gas mileage. And good to the environment - that's the Patriot's 2.4L DOHC 16V dVVT PZEV I-4 engine - one of the cleanest engine's on the planet. A Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV)en_epa_pzev is a vehicle that meets Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) tailpipe emission standards and has zero evaporative emissions from its fuel system. It also features a 15-year (or least 150,000 mile) factory emissions warranty.

All of the 2.0L and 2.4L World Engines feature a heavy dose of high-tech:

  • Intake manifold and exhaust flow control valves
  • Dual Overhead Camshafts (DOHC)
  • Four valves per cylinder
  • Forged crankshaft and connecting rods
  • Aluminum block
  • Acoustic oil pan

There are three available transaxles on Patriot:

  • Five-speed manual
  • Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT2L) with 19.1:1 overall first gear crawl ratio
  • Second-generation Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT2) with AutoStick®

AutoStick® allows for either fully automatic shifting or driver-interactive manual control with six simulated stepped-gear ratios.

  • Electronic Throttle Control
    Electronic Throttle Control

    Patriot features Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), replacing the mechanical throttle linkage. ETC provides seamless and consistent engine response, improved fuel economy and enhanced integration of vehicle systems — such as the transmission, variable camshaft timing, vehicle speed control and idle speed control.

  • Dual Variable Valve Timing
    Dual Variable Valve Timing

    The 2.4L and 2.0L World Engines feature dual Variable Valve Timing (dVVT) on both the intake and exhaust camshafts for better all-around performance. The electronically controlled timing produces more power, better fuel economy and smoother, quieter operation than engines without dual VVT. Smart.

  • Hill Start Assist
    Hill Start Assist

    The newly available Hill Start Assist (HSA) assists drivers when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill by maintaining the level of brake pressure applied for a short period after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal. If throttle is not applied within a short period after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal, brake pressure will be released.
