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.

  I Love my Liberty! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Christie Vance - October 27 - 2:43 pm

  My Liberty is great. I have sunroof and satellite radio. I love the window controls in the middle now my kids will not bother the windows. I just look for excuses to leave the house so I can drive it. The gas mileage isnt all that good but I honestly dont care. I’m for sure keeping my Liberty; no more trading in me if I do I’m getting another Liberty.

  Great vehicle - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Liberty Limited - October 9 - 3:20 am

  Ive owned several SUVs since 1980: International Scout (2), Ford Bronco, Ford Explorer (3). I use my Liberty to tow a 2500 lb. boat/trailer package mostly, putting on about 60% of my miles that way (to-and-from Canada). Performance/handling and economy are are as good/better than any previous SUV, including the Bronco and Scout V-8s.

  Rugged Fun - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By BcYeg - September 17 - 10:10 am

  This vehicle brings me back to my old CJ-7, except my feet dont get hot and I can haul small children with me too. It has a solid feel, powerful acceleration and great braking. It handles the mud great. On-road driving has a confident, sturdy feel. The new fog lamps cut the fog like a knife. The "modern" extras make it really fun to drive.

  Jeep Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Jack Robinson - September 9 - 4:16 pm

  I love my Liberty. It is great off roading in the mountains and it gobbles up the snow. The starting feature in 4WD Low without the clutch helps on the steep trails.It turns on a shorter base than my Nissan Spec V. I do get 20 MPG but on the interstate when going above 75 it is a little thirsty. Manual transmission is a little noisy. The brakes seem to be slow pulling down at high speeds.

  Fantastic! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Chris - August 17 - 5:56 pm

  I have an 04 Grand Cherokee, so the Liberty is actually my wifes vehicle. The V6 provides a good amount of power, more than I expected. At first, I wasnt a fan of the Liberty. I thought it looked a little wimpy, but its grown on me. Could use a bigger glove box and map pockets. Im a big-time Jeep fanatic and let me tell you, the off-road ability of this is nothing short of amazing.

  Great - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By TKTKTOM - July 19 - 10:00 am

  The drive is not harsh or truck like, much better than I expected having riden in earlier model jeeps. Also the total construction is solid, I can see how you could take one off road come back on the road and not finding rattles all over the vehicle from the bouncing. Its really put together tight.

  Amazing Jeep - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Miguel - June 29 - 5:33 pm

  There is nothing that I would even compare to the Liberty, specifically the Renegade model. They have tons of power, they are strong, heavy, and built to do whatever you desire of it. My only problem is that it consumes gas at an alarming rate. This is a result of the strong V6 paired with nearly 5000 pounds of SUV.

  Great Buy - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Kris B - June 7 - 10:00 am

  An all around great vehicle and absolutely exceptional for the price! The cargo area is huge and it rolls over curbs and potholes like they arent even there. There is no question I will buy another one when this one wears out. (as long is gas is not $10/gal)
