About This 2016 Jeep Patriot High Altitude Edition

This 2016 Jeep Patriot High Altitude Edition is a four-door Sport Utility with 113,314 miles on the clock — a completely reasonable number for a vehicle of this age, especially when you consider how durable the Patriot platform has proven to be with proper maintenance. The High Altitude Edition sits at or near the top of the Patriot trim ladder, meaning this isn't a base-model stripped-down version. You're getting a loaded-out Patriot with appearance and feature upgrades that make a genuine difference in day-to-day ownership.
 

2016 Jeep Patriot Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Patriot is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 6-speed AutoStick automatic transmission. The AutoStick feature gives drivers the ability to manually select gears when the situation calls for it — useful when navigating mountain grades, towing light loads, or tackling off-road terrain. Combined with the full 4WD system, this Patriot is genuinely capable beyond city streets and freeway commutes.

The 2.4-liter engine in this configuration delivers a balance of adequate power and reasonable fuel economy. For Southern California driving — from the 10 Freeway to weekend trips up into the San Bernardino Mountains or out toward Joshua Tree — this powertrain handles the variety well.
 

Jeep Patriot High Altitude Features and Interior

The High Altitude Edition was Jeep's way of giving the Patriot a more upscale identity. Buyers can expect features like premium interior materials, leather-trimmed seating, upgraded audio, and distinctive exterior styling elements including unique badging and chrome accents that set it apart from lower trims.
 

Comfort and Technology

Inside, the Patriot's cabin is practical and driver-focused. The layout is straightforward, which many owners appreciate — easy to learn, easy to use. Climate control, power windows, power locks, and keyless entry are standard expectations at this trim level, making it comfortable for daily commuting as well as longer drives.
 

Jeep Patriot Reliability and Ownership

The Jeep Patriot has a reputation as a tough, no-nonsense compact SUV. While it's not without its quirks — the CVT-equipped versions drew some complaints, which makes this 6-speed AutoStick transmission variant a notably better choice — the 4-cylinder engine with the traditional automatic gearbox is widely regarded as the more dependable combination.

Owners of well-maintained Patriots regularly report driving them well past 150,000 miles. At 113,314 miles, this one still has significant life ahead of it when it's cared for properly. Routine maintenance — oil changes, transmission fluid, and keeping up with brake inspections — goes a long way on this platform.

Yes — this specific vehicle is equipped with a 4WD drivetrain, making it capable of handling off-road trails, light terrain, and adverse weather conditions that a standard front-wheel drive crossover couldn't manage.
