2016 Jeep Patriot Safety Features

The Jeep Patriot is one of the last holdovers from the days when Chrysler owned the manufacturer, and it continues to deliver year after year, being one of the most popular vehicles in the entire Jeep line. This is for good reason, too: The Patriot is a great entry-level SUV that offers a high level of luxury and safety features as well as a reliable performance at a great price point. 

If you want an SUV that's not only a high-performing workhorse but also delivers in terms of safety features, Conyers drivers will love the 2016 Jeep Patriot. 

2016 Jeep Patriot Overview

The 2016 Jeep Patriot is a reliable, dependable workhorse of a vehicle that will satisfy many discerning drivers looking for a solid entry-level SUV. It has an affordable price point that's matched by respectable technology offers and has a good safety rating, earning the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's top rating of good in moderate-overlap frontal offset tests, side-impact and roof strength tests, and head restraint design for protection against whiplash from rear impact. 

Patriot Safety Features

While the design has remained relatively stable over the years, the standard features for the Patriot include front disc and rear drum anti-lock brakes with standard traction and stability control. 

Jeep's Brake Assist system is there to aid in situations of panic braking, applying the right amount of pressure to ensure the best stopping power. Electronic Roll Mitigation is incorporated with Brake Assist and applies motion sensors to help reduce the likelihood of a rollover in case of overbraking. 

The Jeep has front side and full side curtain airbags and overhead airbags. Pre-tensioned seat belts automatically tighten to make sure that, should you get into a collision, you're held in the ideal safe position, while the head restraints are designed specifically to protect against whiplash from a rear impact collision. 

The Patriot comes to a stop from 60 mph in around 120 feet, which is an average distance for a vehicle in this sector. 

Anti-Theft

One safety feature that many people overlook is anti-theft. The 2016 Patriot has a device that disables the ignition if the wrong (read: not correct manufacturer) key is used to try to start the vehicle. This exceptional feature greatly reduces the chances of theft.

Remote keyless and illuminated entry allow you to unlock or raise the liftgate from up to 50 feet away, and remote start lets you use your fob to start the car from up to 300 feet away, all while still maintaining the Sentry Key anti-theft functionality. 

In the end, few entry-level SUVs can provide the degree of work reliability, comfort, convenience, and safety of the Jeep Patriot. If you'd like to see these features for yourself and are in the Conyers area, stop in to Ginn CJDR for a test drive today.
