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.

2005 Jeep Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By Jamie - June 21 - 5:13 pmI upgraded to the 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited from a 2000 Toyota Corolla. The Liberty sits high and is very comfortable to drive. It came with a nifty little cargo shelf that has dividers in the top portion. The only downside of this is that you cant use the cargo cover with it. Its one or the other.

Add Some Fun - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By Amy - June 10 - 7:50 amI have never wanted an SUV of any type, but I love my Jeep Liberty. Her name is Libby... ha. The interior design is like that of a luxury car. She looks like Herbie the Love Bug all grown up. Its a fun and reliable vehicle.

Thinking of buying a Liberty - Dont! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By Jenelle - June 4 - 2:40 amI bought my car new and liked it at first. Now Im having many problems with it - mainly brake issues. At 22,000 miles I had to replace the caliper and brake pads. Now, only a year later and only 4,000 miles later the brakes are bad again and they say I need to replace front and back brakes completely. They claim this is because I live on the ocean (which corrodes breaks faster) but I have lived on the ocean all my life and have never had to replace breaks at 26,000 miles on any other car! The seats put my legs to sleep when driving (and others have told me the same), the horribly designed seats stain extremely easily.Ive also had no luck w dealer. Do yourself a favor dont buy this car!

Lots of fun - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By corya - May 15 - 1:43 amI bought my Liberty used with under 15,000 miles on it. I have had it a year and six months. It has been an awsome reliable vehicle. It has over 40,000 miles on it and have had no problems. Handles great on and off road. Low range torque is great. Average 16 to 18 for gas mileage. In town or higway. Doesnt pull small trailers very well.

small problems that add up - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By J. Doni - May 14 - 5:06 pmBought the jeep in 2005 for 21000 does not hold value at all it is worth less than half what I paid 4 years ago. Brakes squeak even though I got the expensive replacements. It is unstoppable in 4wd snow dont stand a chance thats a plus. Had 2 recalls fixed 1 with transmission 1 with ignition. I will not own one again even though it is semi reliable. I should have got one 3 years old and saved 10000 dollars.

Only in a Jeep - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By Todd Hoggan - April 19 - 7:00 pmThe Liberty follows the true Jeep tradition of unparalleled off-road capability. If you actually use 4x4 then Jeep is the only real choice. Id never even consider anything else.

My New Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By G. Ryan - April 17 - 7:56 amJust bought my new Liberty Limited a week ago. I LOVE this car! Its got Spirit! So glad that I nixed others in its class. I wanted a car that was not too big, and not too small. The size of the Liberty is perfect, and rear seating is fine. The chrome wheels, chrome grill and side strip really dress it up. Great pick up and all the power I want. Turns on a dime, and handles great. Fun to drive. Some have complained about gas mileage, but its not that far off from competing models and I decided not to make gas mileage the primary factor in buying.

Yah! Liberty Diesel! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By lightnin4 - April 7 - 9:03 pmGreat product! Averaging 30miles/gallon Canadian. No speeding in this thing although it is fast. Youll find the mileage will stink as the turbo kicks in, so Chrysler suggests best mileage is at 55 mph. Very practical with a 5000 lb. towing capacity, 4x4, very comfortable. Diesel option in a Sport or Limited and towing package at only $1000. Colors are nice. The patriot blue and salsa red pearl coat looks great on chrome accents and sport rims.

2005 Jeep Liberty Sport 2WD - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By rich9294 - April 5 - 5:10 pmI purchased my Liberty in December of 2004. I had no problems, until year 5. In the last year, the transmission has had two repairs, the left rear window broke on vacation(the glass did not go backup), and there has been one recall. My extended warranty is about to expire, and I am left wondering what will break next when I have to pay the full amount of the repair. Also, town mileage is real, real bad, around 15 mpg. I can usually get 22 to 24 mpg on the road if I drive 65 mph. If I were to assign a letter grade to my Jeep, it would receive a D. I will not purchase another Jeep or Chrysler product, ever again.

Much Better Than Reviews - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By CDS1946 - April 5 - 3:03 pmBought the Liberty Limited for my wife. What a solid, well built vehicle this is! One look underneath at the suspension will tell you that this vehicle is built to last. Nothing cheap about the interior either. Leather seats are so so soft but very supportive. The build quality just oozes every where you look inside. And thirsty gasoline V6? Not on this one. If you drive it like you wish to keep it for a long time as we do, youll see 24-25mpg easily on the highway and 18-19 in the city. Those numbers aint bad on a 4000 lb plus vehicle. The ride thats supposed to be not quite up with the rest? Thats a bunch of nonsense! Test drive one and YOU be the judge.
