2010 Jeep Patriot
|
In a closely fought battle, the Jeep Patriot narrowly outperformed the runner-up Ford Escape in this core segment for the Jeep brand. One differentiating factor between the two vehicles was the Jeep’s lower operating costs - comprised of fuel, maintenance and repairs, resulting in the Patriot winning Vincentric’s Best Value in America for the first time.
