Jeep Liberty
Select a Year
(2 available)
Available in three trims – Sport, Limited and Limited Jet – the 2012 Jeep Liberty enjoys a reduced MSRP ($26,960 plus destination) for 2012, which essentially throws in the transportation fee of $795 from the previous year. New color offerings – Mineral Gray, Canyon Brown Pearl, Rescue Green Pearl, True Blue Pearl and Black Forest Green Pearl – will imbue your new Liberty with either off-road machismo or patriotic fervor. Owners are reportedly athletic and, we hope, imaginative.
Jeep's Liberty is the smallest body-on-frame SUV. Although it faces some stiff competition from the new Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot, the Liberty can still best both vehicles in the areas of off-road capability and towing. The Liberty makes a good choice for true off-road enthusiasts who are looking for a low-priced compact SUV, but require a vehicle a bit more civilized and secure than the boyish Jeep Wrangler. Unfortunately for Liberty fans, it appears Jeep is not planning a long run for the little SUV. The diesel engine option and Renegade trim level have been eliminated, and there are no significant improvements or upgrades for 2007.

"First I should start off by saying my household is exclusively a jeep household that being said. I have had my Jeep for almost 2 years now and I have nothing bad to say about it other than, the sky slider roof takes some getting used to. I have driven my jeep up and down the East coast as well as from NY to California without any problems to report. I currently live in Southern California so there is really no need for the 4x4 unless you are looking for a reason to use it. I have been to Big Bear as well as Sequoia National Park in the dead of winter when the snow banks towered over the jeep and it plowed thru like a champ. I made it to the 6700 feet mark without any chains and only really had to engage the 4 wheel drive one the snow on the ground was 3 or more feet. Overall I am very happy with my jeep and I can't wait until 2013 when I can trade it in for another Liberty."

"Love my Liberty Jet! Get complements wherever I go. Great ride. My fourth Jeep and will always have one. Great in the snow and ice. The only thing they I would like to see them do is put the new 3.6 engine with the new 8 speed transmission to improve the gas mileage. Current mileage is 15-16mpg in the city and 20-21 on the highway."

"I was ready to finally get out suv's and sport cars, until I sat in a new Jeep Liberty for a test drive. I thought I would try everything I liked the look of before I made a choice on a smaller car. I am so happy I decided to try it out. So smooth, fun to drive, powerful, and American! I love the Jeep. The pick-up is a little sluggish, but once you get going you are ahead of the game. And the way it drives totally makes up for any faults. I feel SAFE in this SUV and driving on southern California roads, you can't put a price on how safe you feel. This Jeep is not too big and not too small! Just perfect!"
