Side: original test
Tested vehicle: 2008 Jeep Patriot Sport 4-door 4wd with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and optional front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2007-13 models
The Jeep Patriot was introduced in the 2007 model year.
The side impact crash test ratings also apply to Jeep Compass, a vehicle similar to the Patriot but with a different roofline, beginning with 2007 models.
