According to an auto news report, the new range of accessories for the Jeep Patriot will be available in dealerships from June. The company offers features that would help users personalise the internal and external styling of the Jeep Patriot or even enhance the performance of the diesel engine.

The company has loaded the Patriot with a slew of exterior design features. This includes a front and rear under-ride bodykit; chrome grille inserts; exhaust tailpipe cover and Startech logo for the rear of the vehicle.

For those who wish to spruce up the interior, the makers offer a leather effect centre armrest cover; four chrome loudspeaker rings; a chrome gearshift gate; leather gear knob and leather effect treatments for the top of the door panels and dashboard instrument panel. Users can also opt for items such as illuminated entrance panels; aluminium pedal pads; three-piece aluminium design kit for the dashboard and aluminium door locking pins, said the report.
