Jeep Liberty Updates

The 2010 Jeep Liberty is a five passenger SUV that has very good off road capabilities. The four wheel drive on the 2010 Liberty Sport model will allow you to take it anywhere.

The 2009 Jeep Liberty is one of the best in its class and a very capable machine off the road. Compared to the Compass and the Jeep models, the Liberty is more of the true Jeep that has upright and bold styling and prowess off of the road.

The 2008 Jeep Liberty has taken it's design cues for the Commander. This marks a significant design reversal as the soft and organic round looks are replaced by the more squared-off and chunky design. The most significant visual change is in the front grille with square headlights.

"The all-new 2008 Jeep Liberty stands out from the competition by offering customers classic Jeep design, two four-wheel-drive systems, refined on-road ride and handling, cargo and utility, as well as features that are not typically found on vehicles in the mid-size SUV segment," said George Murphy, Senior Vice President - Global Marketing, Chrysler Group.
