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.

  Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Grandma of 3 - October 4 - 3:00 pm

  I have leased two Grand Cherokees and two Libertys (2002 and 2005). Love this little frog, as my husband calls it. Just as plush and much better pickup than my Grand Cherokee that was an 8 cylinder. Fun to drive, easy to park. Comfortable leather seats. Great doodads. Plush, sporty, rides like a car but has lots of room for hauling plants, boxes, etc. when you put down the back seats that fold down very easily. I have had no problems with either of my Libertys. I love it. "My little Beep."

  It is a reliable and dependable vehicle. The seating is comfortable and has a pleasing interior design. I am very disappointed with window switch location. Some better human engineering is required in arrangement of these switches.

  great overall/ great value - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By jj - September 14 - 7:40 am

  I got this new 2005 Jeep Liberty for my wife. Compared it against some other mid-size SUVs and this is the best I could find for her. Easy and fun to drive (as a matter of fact I love driving it). Exceptional off-road capabilities. Its much more car than I expected. Its small, so dont expect to fit 7 people in it. But if you are looking for a 2 adult (+ 2 children) car, this is a great option.

  Jeep Liberty - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Sharon E. Gary - September 5 - 10:56 pm

  I have driven trucks all my life not really a car person. I have had a Ford Bronco and a Ford Explorer, I love 4 wheel drive and I use it. Like a vehicle that can hold its own and so far this Jeep Liberty has done it all. It can hang the interstate with the comfort and smoothness of a car and off-road it is as tough as a Bronco. It makes a nice safe ride for when I have my grandchildren in it and they love the look. The real test for me was my granddaughter just got her learner’s permit and loves to drive this Liberty and I feel very safe because of the Liberty’s safety features. So far this grandmother loves it. It is so brand new but the more I drive it the more I love it.

  my fun vehicle - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By Bill Best - September 3 - 2:26 am

  My Jeep is a fun vehicle with economy acceptable at 18 to 22. I like the tight feel of construction and maneuverability It is not a road car but is enjoyable even on long trips. I would buy another one but I do not think that I will ever need one Go Jeep!

  toy - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By c fleming - September 1 - 7:33 am

  Bought it to tow behind RV. Very happy with the quality and comfort. I liked the no hassle buying; all I had to do was pick out the color and options. It has plenty of power and is fun to drive. Our other car is a E320 Mercedes wagon and it is getting lonely just sitting is the garage while we drive this one.

  Happy Diesel Owner - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By davez - July 29 - 9:10 am

  I know have 42000 miles on this vehicle and except for the replacement of the ERG sensor at 8000, I have had no problems with the Jeep. I have gotten as high as 31 mpg in the summer but in the winter time (Upstate NY) it typically gets around 21 mpg. Workmenship has been good but the original stock tires are garbage. I would not hesitate to buy this vehicle again.

  Great little ride - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By D. Rose - June 6 - 10:23 am

  I LOVE MY LIBERTY! I traded in a luxury SUV (Lexus GX470) for this little baby and I couldnt be happier. While nothing rides like a Lexus, the Liberty is smooth to drive -- not to mention fun fun FUN. The sound system is terrific, there is plenty of room, its sturdy, rugged and has great personality. Makes my day just starting it up.

  A Sleeper Hit - 2005 Jeep Liberty
  By tailgate - June 5 - 6:56 pm

  This medium sized Liberty CRD SUV is a blast to drive. Its quite, gets good fuel mileage, comfortable power range, coupled with a 5 speed transmission, and a seating/steering wheel position that fits me like a glove (unlike my Jeep pickup). When on the highway, I think its best on the open road, then again when driving around town, I think this is its best suit. This tells me just how much I enjoy the Liberty CRD.
