Although Chrysler has yet to make an official announcement, the 2009 model year Jeep Patriot and Compass have already made their way to the company’s dealerships. As you can see in the dealer photographs after the jump, the major difference between the 2008 and 2009 Patriot and Compass concerns the revamped interior that features a newly-styled dashboard with softer plastics, new door panels and seat fabrics.

These changes were made by Jeep to address the negative impressions from consumers and the media alike in regards of the poor quality and cheap materials of the Compass and Patriot. Expect the Dodge Caliber to receive a similar treatment towards the end of 2008. -Image gallery after the jump
