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.

  Good Buy! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By 452drexel - June 2 - 8:36 pm

  I bought this car for my wife, but was surprised that I, at 64", was so comfortable behind the wheel. Interior room and layout is deceptively large for a smaller vehicle. Ride quality and acceleration are also better than I expected. Overall, a well-built vehicle that will serve us well for years to come.

  Fun Machine - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Rich - May 5 - 5:50 am

  Great looks and fun to drive! I was really impressed with the way this compact SUV handles. It might be a little stiff in the suspension for some people, but it feels solid. The doors and hatch close easy. Fit and finish is great and it is a beauty. I have the Atlantic Blue color with a sun roof. This Liberty is one of the best cars I have owned. Road clearance is great without using a ladder to get into the drivers seat. The tires have an aggressive tread without producing the typical tire noise. A "Off road" beauty with comfort and style. Although I am biased, I am a owner!

  I Love My Jeep - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By RMQ - April 28 - 1:23 pm

  I had been wanting a Jeep Liberty since they first debuted. I can remember the first time I saw one on the road. I was like...."Wow." So it was really the exterior appearance that struck me. The front end is so gorgeous. Especially on the new ones with the chrome grille. (Mine is a 2005 Limited.) It runs well, accelerates well, and you feel safe travelling on the interstate at high speeds, unlike on some other smaller SUVs, where you feel like you are all over the road. I had a 2000 Chevy Tracker, and to go from that to this Liberty is a total improvement. It handles well. I havent had a chance to test out the 4 WD extenxively yet, or operate in the snow.

  05 Liberty Diesel - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Barry - April 3 - 3:33 am

  Ive only put a thousand miles on it so far, but the fuel mileage has been great. The 3 fill-up average is 25 MPG+, which includes town and highway driving. Ive had it off-road a couple of times and it performed as well as my old CJ7.

  I am a Jeep man from way WAAAAY Back, and the Liberty is the best ever!. I have owned two CJ5s, a Grand Cherokee and currently own a 1972 CJ5.

  Awesome Ride! - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Kasey - February 3 - 8:10 pm

  I LOVE this car! I wanted something that wasnt too "soccer momish" and this is PERFECT! Handles very much like a truck, but that was also what I wanted.

  The vehicle drives great, its compact size makes manuevering in and out small spaces easy. The 2005 interior and road handling have improved from previous models and the ride is not as bumpy. The passenger and rear seats are very stiff and could use some extra seat length along with extra padding for comfort.

  Patriot Blue Mass Jeep Limited - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Micahel E. Profenno - January 24 - 2:50 am

  The Jeep Liberty Limited is one of the more fun vehicles I have owned. It has been very reliable with only one issue; a resetting of the automatic tire pressure gauge. It is a lot of fun to drive, very comfortable on and off the road, and I really enjoy the comforts, i.e. leather heated seats, Sirius radio, etc. The cargo room is perfect, and I like how the seats go down with ease. I highly recommend this American built vehicle!

  The CRD Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Bobs - January 18 - 7:16 pm

  Just purchased the new CRD Liberty and love it! The diesel is a little bit noisier than my VW TDI, but it runs great. First 100 mile trip, youll notice the diesel is only turning 1,800 rpm at 70 miles an hour in overdrive, yet has so much torque, that it pulls cleanly without downshifting. Gas mileage is already working out to be 25-27 MPG, and comfort and quality of the interior are first rate. We also live up a steep gravel road, and this baby climbs like theres no tomorrow. The perfect match--diesel torque and economy with Jeeps great off road abilitys.

  2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel Review - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By FrankW - January 6 - 10:06 pm

  Todays diesels are nothing like yesteryear. They are fast, clean, quiet and efficient. I average 27 mpg with my mostly highway driving. Acceleration can give you *whiplash* About half of the local service stations sell diesel fuel and there is never a line to get at the pump. Im extremely happy about switching to diesel. Hybrids are good if you live in the city with stop and go traffic. For suburbanites, diesel is the smart thing to do. Hey -- if worse ever came to worse, I could burn old french fry oil. :-)
