Overview & Reviews

Finally replacing the boxy Cherokee that has been in production since 1984, the handsome all-new 2002 Jeep Liberty serves as the affordable SUV in Jeep's lineup. Borrowing styling cues from the 1997 Jeep Dakar and 1998 Jeepster concept vehicles, the Liberty is available in two trim levels with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, a four- or six-cylinder engine and a manual or automatic transmission.

• Extremely capable off-road, creative interior design, still a Jeep at heart.

• Thirsty at the gas pump, not as "car-like" as most of its competitors.

  I love my Jeep Liberty! - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By gagonzo - December 30 - 10:00 am

  You have to find an oportunity to go off road with this Jeep. It is a little mountain goat, for sure. Loves to go fast on the freeway and gets much better gas mileage at high speeds. Can pull anything with ease, but gulps gas when it does. I am looking for ways to increase the gas mileage now. Leave it dirty, because will all the fancy body cladding, it is hard to wash.

  Another Very Capable Jeep - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By Scorphitman - December 10 - 2:33 pm

  I purchased this Limited as a lease return. The vehicle has been a very reliable SUV. I had previously owned a classic Cherokee Limited. The Liberty makes the old Cherokee look like a hay wagon. A very comfortable ride and roomy interior. I am 63" and 250 lbs and dont feel pinched in the drivers seat. Ive put 40k+ miles on it in 2 years and it has never left me stranded on the roadside. Very good off-road performance on some nasty rocky trails in the Sierra. Pretty good in the snow. Driven it in 50 knot winds with rain and the part-time 4WD works just great. Instruments are straight forward without the "gimmicks" of the Japanese SUVs. Room enough in the back for my 100 lb. Golden Retriever.

  Fun & Reliable Liberty - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By Trafdlo - November 29 - 4:53 am

  I loved the retro Liberty style and bought it in spite of my fears about Jeeps "not so good" reliability record. I have been pleasantly surprised. The interior and exterior designs are unique and done exceptionally well. Ive owned sports cars mostly so comfort and handling is exactly where I want it. Reliability has been the real surprise. Ive replace the ignition key cylinder and thats been the only issue; really minor based on what other vehicles have. I have been completely satisfied and will probably purchase another one next year.

  A Great SUV - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By cozz - November 14 - 10:00 am

  This is our first SUV and has proven to be a fun and reliable vehicle. As far as gas mileage, I cant understand all the negative comments, no SUV will not do any better than the Liberty, in fact usually less. We are running Mobil 1 synthetic oil and get 21 1/2 miles per gallon on the road, not bad.

  Best SUV to own - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By Joseph - November 3 - 9:16 am

  The Jeep Liberty is a wonderful SUV to dirve. Have not had to do anything but routine maintenance. Have had no trouble with the vehicle at all. I ready to buy another so my lucky son will have his mountain goat to get him to the slopes.

  2002 Jeep Liberty Limited - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By tom nevins - October 27 - 1:06 pm

  The Liberty is a lot of fun to drive and is a rock solid vehicle. Very quiet at highway speed and a smooth ride. The handling is responsive but could use a little more get up and go when you hit the gas to pass someone ... probably because its a heavy vehicle. Interior is well thought out, practical and finished nicely.

  Flawless - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By 71charger - September 21 - 7:53 pm

  Three years and nothing to fix, nothing to replace except the factory tires at just over 30k miles. Zero problems. A wonderful vehicle. It has handled all weather conditions beautifully, including a couple of nasty blizzards the first winter we owned it. We will definitely buy another one.

  Jeep Liberty a Winner - 2002 Jeep Liberty
  By sdgreen - September 18 - 2:00 am

  The Jeep Liberty is one fine engineered vehicle. Engine is well designed and the entire package is suitable for both on road and off road. Overall superstructure is unique making the vehicle immediately identifiable. Main headlights and auxillary fog lights provide excellent forward lighting.
