Overview & Reviews
Following a redesign last year, the 2009 Jeep Liberty gets additional tweaks to improve handling and braking. Optional package content has also been adjusted, and the Limited trim gets upgraded interior materials.
- Respectable off-road abilities, simple and functional cabin, high towing capacity, decent luggage space, brawny image.
- Weak and thirsty engine, not as carlike to drive as most rivals, subpar interior materials, poor headlight illumination.

Second Jeep Liberty - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By firehawkmph - December 11 - 5:46 pmAfter having one of the first Jeep Libertys when they came out in 01, we decided to trade it in on a new 09 Liberty. My wife racked up just shy of 100k trouble-free miles on the first one. After considering other vehicles like the Honda CRV and Subaru Forester, I liked the Liberty the best. The new one has quite a few refinements and improvements over the old one. The vehicle has more interior room, rides better, and is quieter also. Still has the rugged 4WD drive that Jeep is noted for. It may not get the gas mileage of the CRV or Subaru, or doesnt quite have the car-like ride, but I didnt buy it to be a car. Its a REAL 4WD, not a cutesy wanna be. It will go through about anything.

bring in the sky! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By OX - April 25 - 9:26 pmTraded 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee w 150k on 09 Liberty Limited with Nav, skyslider, leather, chromes- loaded (prem pack II, Nav, roof). The Liberty is a much, much, much nicer truck- it is very close to the same size, similar power to the old 5.3l V8, with better mileage. The feature content is amazing. The Nav is easy to use and was easy to pair with cell phone. It is well stuck to the road in snow- recent travel in heavy snow has reinforced the decision as a safe and stable vehicle. They say the 09 has improved ride over 08, better seal on SkySlider roof, and the tan leather (single color) looks nice- 09 also has more leather trim inside

outstanding liberty - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By Frank P - March 8 - 1:40 pmIve driven many Jeeps over the years, from Grand Cherokees,Commanders and XJ Cherokees (my favorite). My fully optioned w/ sky slider roof 09 Liberty LTD is an exceptional vehicle, what the Liberty should have been when the XJ was discontinued. the ride, and handling are greatly improved over the previous iteration Liberty, plenty of room inside, fit and finish improved over even the 08 model. The exterior styling is what a Jeep should be. The Red paint is flawless and it glows in the sunlight. the sky slider roof is an awesome concept with minimal wind noise and it is watertight. All of the creature comfort options make me think of the Libertys big brothers in terms of luxury. Fantastic

Very Impressed! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By DayTriper - March 12 - 10:06 amAll the way around, a perfect vehicle.I have an 1hr commute each way, so comfort and low noise was important to me. My sights were set on the Commander..but the price was high. I wanted professional yet sleek and I wanted the Skys the Limit package with an affordable payment. The Sirius/Nav touch screen plays SAT/AM/FM/CD/DVD..heated leather bucket seats, you warm up,transfer files to an internal 4GB HDD and then press UConnect and call home..its outstanding! I am still texting my bf..which btw..when I said I was getting the Liberty he laughed at me..Well the 2009 Liberty has two Driver memory profiles which stores seat and mirror settings..guess who just entered his Driver 2 setting??

Great Jeep! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By adamgreig3415 - January 17 - 9:33 amThis is our 2nd Jeep, unfortunately our last Jeep was totaled so this was a replacement, and i love it, the door panel is a little sub-par, but it is a champ in the snow! The tight steering is also a plus. I have never taken it off road, but I love the safety of an SUV. The only problem is there is a low tire warning and there arent any low tires, there may be a problem with the computer. I love the seat cloth, its not like your typical crappy velvet, it is stain resistant, so cloth seats is not a big deal anymore!

Jeep - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By Impressed - July 15 - 2:56 amWe only have 5,000 miles on it, but its the most impressive, fun to drive vehicle my wife or I have ever owned. Jeep did a great job on every aspect of the design of this vehicle. Its comfortable, roomy, plenty of power, and great looking. The suspension is awesome - soaks up huge bumps without a hiccup or any sort of crashing noise whatsoever. The ride is spectacular on and off road. Engine and tranny are USA made.

Bought American am "Happy"! - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By Tom L. - April 15 - 1:00 pmWe looked at the Honda, crv, to bland, and read about their transmission, and air compressor problems, drove the Liberty and found it to be a great vehicle. Bought for my 20 year old, daughter who attends college in Indiana, wanted a safe 4WD vehicle for her! The Jeep filts the bill. We bought the "Rocky Mountain edition,with the satelite radio, (awesome), and we have a free lifetime powertrain warranty. We also received free oil and filter changes for life. We got total off sticker of $5,135 off sticker. The color is Deep water Blue an option,new Jeep color, the metallic in the paint shines. Looks like it will last a long time, with powertrain warranty we are "Happy"!!!

bought -american and happy - 2009 Jeep Liberty
By den a - July 15 - 9:20 amI have been a Toyota owner for several years, and my last one (2007) Camry needed a new transmission at 8k, new rims mine were defective, I also have a 07 liberty in the family, it has been great, no rattles etc, so I went to drive an 09 liberty it was very Nice, sunroof, u-connect stereo, select trac 2 4wd, I m sure gas mileage wont be as good as with the car, but its an suv, not the fastest but its not a slug, take your time enjoy the drive, because it does have a Nice ride, and with incentives and discounts I got $6500 off the sticker. It has a lifetime warranty on the powertrain. Hopefully it will be as good as my other liberty in terms of reliability, go test drive one, their Nice.
