Jeep Patriot Back country concept vehicle:

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 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.

“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.”

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.

So they upgraded the interior and did a little bit to the exterior.  How exactly does that make it a concept?

I'm pretty much in agreement here.  How does redoing the interior of a vehicle make it an all new concept?

Not every concept vehicle has to be a whole new design like the jeep renegade or something.  Lots of concepts are just taking existing vehicles and adding a little spice to them.

I like it, it's a good addition and seems like it could go to production.  The current chrysler vehicles need a new interior, this is a good step in the right direction.

I agree, that interior is pretty top notch.  Hopefully it's a sign of things to come for the jeep line.  I know you don't really mind the bare bones since you use it for offroading but if chrysler wants to sell a lot of them they need to make it appeal to mass market.  And mass market wants nice interiors.

I don't think Jeep would be a very good brand to make mass market.  The appeal of the brand is that it's a niche and not many people have one.  Most that do don't really ever take it offroad.
