The professionals at Kelley Blue Book put together a list of the vehicles that cost drivers the least amount of money in maintenance and repairs during the first 5 years of ownership. The 2015 Jeep Patriot took first place in the SUV/Crossover class! Read on to learn more. 

How Do They Calculate Cost to Own Ratings?

Taking into consideration a variety of factors, the professionals at KBB are able to estimate the projected cost of owning a vehicle for 5 years. The factors that contribute to the calculations include fuel, insurance, repairs, maintenance, financing, state fees, and depreciation. The most important factor in the calculation is depreciation. Different vehicles depreciate at different rates, and it just so happens that the Jeep brand vehicles have some of the lowest depreciation rates on the road today.

There is a lot to love about the 2015 Patriot, but ones of the key factors that makes it a great buy is that there is a real focus on value inside and outside. The affordable front-wheel drive Sport trim comes in at under $18,000 MSRP, and that makes it one of the least expensive sport utility vehicles on the market. To go along with the low depreciation rate, the 2015 Jeep Patriot has a great resale value. When you buy a Jeep, you can rest assured that you are choosing a great value. Schedule a Test Drive!

When you buy a Jeep, you are not only choosing a vehicle that has great resale value, but you are becoming a part of a brand that is loved and recognized worldwide.
