2008 Jeep Patriot Back Country Concept











Jeep Patriot Back Country Concept


Making its debut at the 2008 Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, the Jeep Patriot Back Country concept vehicle combines the fun, freedom and fuel efficiency of the Jeep Patriot with the active lifestyle of the Jeep customer to create a vehicle that exudes a fresh, youthful appeal.

Created from the newest Jeep Patriot Limited model, the Jeep Patriot Back Country concept features a redesigned interior, authentic Jeep accessories by Mopar and a blend of unique materials.

"The Jeep Patriot Back Country concept was inspired by the outdoor enthusiast seeking adventure, fun and freedom," said Ralph Gilles, Vice President - Design, Chrysler LLC. "Using a variety of materials typically associated with active lifestyles and a distinct color combination, the ultimate Jeep Patriot stands out in the great outdoors."

Exterior Design - Ready for a Road Trip with Mopar Accessories

The compact SUV is outfitted with a variety of Mopar accessories, including a Roof Top Cargo Basket ideal for hauling camping equipment or outdoor gear. Off-road Lights accent the front of the cargo basket and are perfect for nighttime excursions or setting up camp. Mopar Deluxe Splash Guards complement the vehicle's off-road capability.


At the side, the blackened B-pillar creates the look of a lengthened profile. The driver and front passenger doors feature a "BACK COUNTRY EDITION" badge affixed at the front quarter panel. Body-color door handles complete the look. At the rear, a platinum chrome light bar illuminates the license plate.

Equipped with 18-inch wheels and tires, the concept's two-box design is built for maximum cargo volume, rugged driving conditions and excellent utility.

The Jeep Patriot Back Country concept vehicle boasts a unique Optic Green exterior color, which is carried throughout the interior of the vehicle.

Interior Design - Incorporates the Outdoor Enthusiast Lifestyle

Influenced by the active lifestyle of the outdoor enthusiast, the interior of the Jeep Patriot Back Country concept features a variety of textures and materials not typically found in production vehicles.

Upon entry, sleek colors of Dark Slate Gray, Optic Green and satin chrome accent the vehicle. Mopar bright Door Sill Guards are embossed with the "PATRIOT" vehicle name and exemplify the attention given to the interior details. Satin chrome can be found on door locks, door handles, shifter knob, console and air vents. Bright Mopar Accelerator and Brake Pedal Covers add to the Jeep Patriot Back Country concept's appeal.

The material used on the seat bolsters and head restraints, which is inspired by wet suits and scuba equipment, is made from a smooth urethane that can hold up either wet or dry. The seat inserts, a Dark Slate Gray, include a tire tread pattern with Optic Green urethane trim. The "BACK COUNTRY EDITION" logo can be found on both the driver and first-row passenger seats.

Optic Green stitching tactfully accents the vehicle's floor mats and steering wheel. Made from two separate materials, the steering wheel features a textured diamond-patterned fabric at the top and, at the bottom, the same urethane material used for the seats.

The rear cargo floor is made of rubber and is perfect for carrying muddy shoes or dirty, dusty gear.

The Jeep Patriot Back Country concept is built around the redesigned interior and refined ride quality featured in the newest Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass production models. The fresh interior includes all-new redesigned instrument panels, center consoles and door trim panels, while added insulation and tuning improvements further reduce noise in the interior. With their already high levels of safety, utility and 4x4 capability, the Patriot and Compass continue to advance the Jeep brand by providing customers with outstanding value.
