Overview & Reviews
Sold from 2002-'12, the Jeep Liberty was the successor to one of America's original compact SUVs, the Cherokee (which returned in 2014). True to its tough, capable Jeep lineage, the Liberty has considerable off-road capability, thanks to steep approach and departure angles and exceptional suspension travel and articulation. The Liberty was also rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, a robust figure for its class. These are qualities not found in most other small utility vehicles from this time period, which saw the rise of crossover SUVs optimized for the suburban lifestyle.
Demerits for the Jeep Liberty include a weak engine lineup, with sluggish acceleration and dismal fuel economy from both the four-cylinder and V6 engines offered over the years (the first generation's briefly optional diesel engine is impressively fuel-efficient, however). Interior quality and comfort are also lacking, and by today's standards, the Liberty's general lack of refinement leaves much to be desired.

snow - 2005 Jeep Liberty
By betty kashkin - November 21 - 5:03 amWe live in New Jersey; the trip into New York used to be a disaster for us whenever it snowed. Since we leased our Jeep vehicle the trip has been a no brainer, comfortable and easy to get wherever we are going. When our lease is finished, we will lease another one of your Jeeps. Thanks for the ride.

Buy this only if you have money to burn. - 2003 Jeep Liberty
By Larry - November 20 - 12:36 pmFun vehicle but gas mileage is a lot worse that what Jeep claims. This jeep looks large on the outside but rather small interior.

I LOVE MY JEEP !!!! - 2002 Jeep Liberty
By DAPHNE - November 15 - 2:00 amMy husband bought my Jeep for me on my 35 birthday. Fully loaded. And I love everything about it. I drive from the Country into Town everyday. 60 miles round trip and it a great ride. People ask me why didnt I get a car. My response I dont like sitting on the ground. My kids and their friends think I have the coolest SUV in the neighborhood. Since it is red, we put the Red Hawaiian print seat covers. Looks like a real beach Suv.When I bought my jeep I had the only one in my town now they are everywhere.

Jeep Liberty Fan - 2002 Jeep Liberty
By Stan Orzechowski - November 12 - 2:00 amBack in 1996 we had a new Grand Cherokee Limited. Had it for about three years. Traded it in for a truck until when the Libertys came out, we decided to order one. Man! did we ever miss the JEEP quality that goes into these vehicles. Since then, got rid of the truck and are extremely excited to go to our first Camp JEEP this year with our Liberty. Many people ask how we like the Liberty. The answer to that is, I just cant stop talking about it. We had purchased the 4WD Limited in Woodland Brown. We just love it.

Shifty Transmission 04 Liberty - 2004 Jeep Liberty
By Richard Pace - November 9 - 6:36 pmTransmission always thumped shifting from 1st to 2nd. At 29,000 transmission failed and had to be replaced. Dealer support was great. At 30,000 the brakes are making noises. Transmission is starting to thump from 1st to 2nd again.

I love my Jeep!! - 2006 Jeep Liberty
By navymomkym - November 9 - 1:03 amThis is my first jeep, my brother had a Wrangler so that was my first experience! I love how it looks like a Jeep but feels comfortable! I had been driving a Kia Rio so the gas mileage on the Jeep is hard to get used to, but love being up high, I can see the road! I feel much safer and am very pleased that the Jeep handles so well; coming from a small vehicle I was kind of afraid it would be hard to park, etc. I just have to quit on the joyriding a bit with gas so high, but the vehicle is a joy for me to drive~tons of fun!!!

Jeep Liberty Columbia Edition - 2004 Jeep Liberty
By Ben Moy - November 8 - 2:00 amThis vehicle is a nice combination of jeep ruggedness and stylish every day drivability. The 3.7L V6 adequately powers this rugged little SUV. Handling is a little rough around the edges, like any SUV. What it lacks in car like handling, the liberty makes up in all weather, off road capability. The part time 4WD easily handled a recent snowstorm, no doubt off roading would be a joy. The sun roof, custom wheels, speed control, chrome interior accents, two tone seats, and Columbia badging add a unique touch to my Liberty. Outside, the graphite bumpers combined with body colored wheel wells make my Columbia Edition different from Sports, and Limiteds.
