Jeep Patriot
|
| Low fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs were key to the Jeep Patriot’s victory in this entry level SUV segment. This first time winner of Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ award was able to show its value regardless of whether annual mileage was assumed to be low, mid-range, or high, making this a strong choice for urban, suburban, or off-road use. |
