Although the Liberty replaced the hugely popular Cherokee, it has never met with the same enthusiasm as its chunky predecessor. Some may argue that the Liberty isn't as macho-looking as the old Cherokee, but it is still a credible SUV with strong off-road credentials. The standard 210-bhp 3.7L V-6 can be mated to a 4-speed or 5-speed automatic. Some models are available with a 6-speed manual. A choice of axle ratios and part-time and full-time 4WD systems allow buyers to customize the Liberty to their needs.

What Changed:

The diesel model has been dropped.
