About Jeep Liberty
Bob Boniface created the Liberty in 1998, drawing inspiration from the Dakar and Jeepster concept vehicles. The Liberty was the first Jeep vehicle to employ rack and pinion steering and the two then-new PowerTech engines: the 150 horsepower (110 kW) 2.4 L straight-4, which was retired in 2006, and the 210 horsepower (160 kW) 3.7 L V6. It was designed to replace the discontinued Jeep Cherokee (XJ). The Jeep Wagoneer employed an independent front suspension for the first time in 1963, therefore the Liberty was not the first Jeep vehicle to use it. However, the independent front suspension was only available in four-wheel-drive models and was only available for a brief time. For the year 2002, the Liberty was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award.
Initially, three trim levels were available: the top-of-the-line Limited, a more robust Renegade, and the entry-level Sport. All of them were available in 2WD or 4WD. The Liberty underwent a mid-cycle redesign in July 2004 for the 2005 model year. A special flat hood and taller grille were added to the 2005, 2006 Renegade, and 2005 Rocky Mountain Edition Liberties. The Renegade trim level was replaced in 2007 by the Latitude, which had a more urban design and didn’t have the Renegade’s distinctive hood and grille.
The Jeep Liberty KJ was available in three basic trim levels from 2002 to 2007, each with its own set of standard and optional features:
Sport: The Sport was the “basic” model for the Jeep Liberty from 2002 to 2007. It came with a 2.4L “Power-Tech” Inline Four-Cylinder (I4) engine, a five-speed manual transmission, sixteen-inch (16″) steel wheels, an AM/FM stereo with cassette player (later, a single-disc CD player), a six-speaker audio system, cloth seating surfaces, dual manually-adjustable front bucket seats, a split-folding rear bench seat, full instrumentation, and manual windows and door locks (power windows and door locks.
Power windows and door locks with keyless entry and automatic front windows (also later became standard equipment), an Infinity premium amplified audio system, aluminum-alloy wheels, a full-size spare tire and wheel (also later became standard equipment), air conditioning (also later became standard equipment), a four-speed automatic transmission, a 3.7L “Power-Tech” V6 engine, a 3.7L “Power-Tech” V6 engine, a 3.7L “Power-Tech” V6 engine, The Liberty KJ’s “Special-Edition” models, including the 2003 Freedom Edition, 2004 Columbia Edition, 2005 and 2007 Rocky Mountain Edition, and 2006 65th Anniversary Edition, were all based on the base Sport trim level.
Renegade: The Jeep Liberty’s “off-road-ready” model from mid-2002 to mid-2007 was the Renegade. A 3.7L “Power-Tech” V6 engine, power windows and door locks with keyless entry, cloth-and-vinyl-trimmed seating surfaces, air conditioning, sixteen-inch (16″) color-keyed aluminum-alloy wheels (in Cactus Green, Mineral Gray, or Light Khaki), gray front and rear decorative wheel flares, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), front-mounted fog lamps, and an AM/FM radio were all added to the base Sport’ model.
