Overview & Reviews

An all-new diesel engine option makes its debut for the 2005 Jeep Liberty. Exterior appearance changes this year include a new front fascia, grille, foglamps, fender flares and body side moldings. Interior upgrades include relocated power window switches, new instrument panel cluster graphics and trim bezels and improved seat comfort. The Renegade model gets a flatter hood, taller grille, off-road foglamps and taillamp guards, as well as functional rock rails and four skid plates. A new six-speed manual transmission replaces last year's five-speed unit.

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

• Gas engines are rather thirsty at the pump, not as "carlike" on the street as most of its competitors, less cargo space than some of its competitors.

  Put Some Fun Into Your Life! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By WCG - April 17 - 5:53 pm

  This is our first SUV and we love it. Its fun to drive, handles well and is surprisingly comfortable. The Limited model we have came LOADED with extras and is a beautiful "Patriot Blue" color that has received more compliments than any other car Ive owned. So far, were in the 17+ mpg range, but we werent expecting much more. Overall were very happy with it and, oh yes, our Golden Retriever loves it to!

  Liberty 2005 Great Driving - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Mona Furst - March 25 - 12:23 pm

  Very stable handling; drives as if youre in complete control of your driving. Has great lights for night driving - can see full vision with great side mirrors. We thought the Jeep dealer did a great job at explaining all about our new purchase. I think the exterior looks of this model is going to be a great seller for the baby boomers out there! Thank you.

  Jeep Liberty is fun - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Jay Reilly - February 20 - 11:20 am

  This is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I am 64. It has unique convenient controls like the radio buttons on the steering wheel. It is a ball to drive and was pleasantly surprised at the riding comfort for a smaller SUV. I would strongly recommend it to anyone on a budget.

  Jeep Liberty CRD - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By John - February 3 - 4:50 pm

  Ive only got 1000 miles on my CRD but know its very solid and rattle free. I also love the ride -- firm; feels more like a Lexus 300 to me. I had an Escape and it was "tinny" by comparison. The Liberty quality is much better than the Escape. Turning radius is unbelievable! My diesel mileage to and from work (mixed highway and town) is 23 mpg. Looking forward to road trip this month.

  Best on all surfaces! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By wyrless - December 21 - 9:40 am

  My liberty is a workhorse, that cleans up for an elegant night on the town. Her size, turning radius, handeling, and acceleration beats most sedans, making city driving a dream. Her rear end does not stick out of any standard parking spot, like so many other SUVs. She can hold her own in the deep sand of the Outer Banks or any mountain trail in the Rockies. Ive been on the road after hurricanes and during ice storms, and blizzards, each time arriving home safely. The Liberty does it all, work and play, reliably, for a fabulous price. If you want a vehicle that rides like a sedan, buy a sedan.

  They Cant Believe Its a Diesel - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By trumpet_washer - December 13 - 8:03 pm

  I have to tell most people that this is a diesel engine. The performance and fuel economy are much better than the 3.7L V6. Sure, there are some quirks to owning a diesel, but it isnt as much of a hassle as most think. Besides, this is a quite torquey little SUV with a 5000# towing capacity. And the 5 speed automatic with OD lockout is a great pairing for the Italian-made 2.8L turbo diesel. Shifting into and out of 4WD is easy. Even if the only off-road your CRD sees is a mall parking lot, you wont be disappointed with the truck in the least.

  2005 jeep liberty renegade 4 x 4 - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By PaulJ778 - December 6 - 10:00 am

  This is first jeep that i have owned. It is very fun to drive. Gas mileage is not the greatest, but everything else makes up for it. I wish there was a light or symbol for the sun roof as i have forgoten and left it open. Also they do not make front mud flaps for the Renegade with rock guards.

  Bought My Second Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By RJLOHIO - October 8 - 10:00 am

  I bought a 2003 Liberty for my daughters use and loved it so much I bought a 2005 for my use. The updated style and appearance are really well done and it totally fun to drive.

  Love at First Drive - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Dee - August 29 - 6:43 am

  An SUV with all the needs. I love it. Better than a Wrangler because its not only providing the ruggedness in performance and in looks it can also be souped up with some classy features. it rides pretty smooth for a Jeep that can perform on some extreme trails.

  A REAL CHAMP - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By PROUD JEEP OWNER - August 16 - 5:46 am

  I was looking for a small SUV that would give me good fuel mileage; the turbo diesel answered. Jeep did it right - it is a lot of fun to drive. The ride is a little stiff. If I wanted a silky smooth ride I would have bought a car. This is the 3rd Jeep I have owned and by far the best.
