Good power. Good gas mileage. And good to the environment — that's what Patriot offers with the 2.4L DOHC 16V dVVT I4 engine — one of the cleanest engines on the planet.
The 2013 Patriot delivers 4x4 fuel economy — an EPA estimated 28 highway miles per gallon+ — so you can adventure longer
All of the 2.0L and 2.4L World Engines feature a heavy dose of high-tech:
- Intake manifold flow control valves
- Dual overhead camshafts
- Dual Variable Valve Timing (intake and exhaust)
- Four valves per cylinder
- Forged crankshaft and connecting rods
- Aluminum block
- Acoustic oil pan
Three transaxles are available on Patriot:

- 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 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
The 2.0L and 2.4L World Engines feature dual variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust valves for better all-around performance. The electronically controlled timing produces more power, better fuel economy and smoother, quieter operation than engines without this feature. Smart.
