The Patriot crossover SUV mimics the looks of the long-gone Cherokee. Besides its functional interior, Kelley Blue Book picked it for that classic Jeep-ish look and the fact that you can get it with all-wheel-drive and still come in under 18 grand.
You won't be able to tackle the tundra for that kind of cash, though. The "Trail Rated" version, which has bigger wheels and more ground clearance, among other features, starts at $22,265.
