Jeep Liberty, a bridge between two shores

Call of the crossover of multitasking hybrids. Regardless, they abound on the market for several years. And if some are a mix of the worst of both worlds, in some cases, the result is much more conclusive. The Jeep Liberty is one of those rare successful executions of a concept that seems easier to imagine than done, is a balance between off-road and every day.

Since the demise of the deceased Cherokee, Liberty's role could not be clearer; bridge the gap between the TJ and Grand Cherokee. In this line attributes

Formidable off-road, the task was not thin, but the goal is still achieved. Indeed, the Liberty recalls TJ certain facets of his look, and Grand Cherokee more refined finish and even pulling towards luxury "entry level". Heredity forces, the similarities do not stop there. The Jeep Liberty, unlike many other vehicles in this class, came into the world with the wealth of experience in the field of off-road as well as the hard-earned reputation of the Jeep brand. The Liberty comes with two traction to all four wheels, and the Command-Trac four-wheel drive with available on request, and Selec-Trac traction provide the same at all times. Both systems are available with low range.

Among the various engines available, you will find a 3.7-liter V6 that will allow you to ride smoothly with its 210 horsepower at 5200 rpm / min. In the latter, you can marry a 4-speed automatic transmission, the choice of reason, or a 5-speed manual transmission much more attractive in theory than in practice because it does not show up to the automatically. The other engine offered is a 4-cylinder 2.4-liter 150 hp at 5200 rev / min which, regardless of the transmission, does not prove more interesting in reality than in theory.

Suitable suspension

Although the suspension of Liberty is set in the same way as the Grand Cherokee, it seems much better suited to Liberty. Much better suited than you can even forget the rigid axle and believe in a four-wheel independent suspension, the pipe is flexible and you do not feel jittery often caused by a rigid axle. And while its interior and its robust appearance give the Liberty the appearance of a truck, driving it, it feels like a car.

All or nothing

In the list of points that make the Liberty a favorite in its class

Course adds its interior. Indeed, the Limited model tested offers leather seats of a rare quality in this vehicle category. Too bad the bench is not deep enough, leaving the legs without sufficient support. The dashboard and the passenger are examples of good workmanship and choice of materials. The brushed aluminum is very active and it's true, contrary to what is the case in too many vehicles on the market that are adorned with cheap imitations.

By cons, in terms of the volume of the chest, the Liberty has unfortunately taken on the TJ model. It is very shallow and easily accessible thanks to an ingenious system that activates when the handle vertically to open the top half of the door while the bottom opens horizontally. If it were larger, it would prove safe practice, but it must be ironed.

Another point that is striking the Liberty is the difference between the interior of the entry-level model and the model Limited. If the latter is undoubtedly successful, the base model will remind you constantly that separate the world of the ideal. Indeed, the interior is made up of a multitude of overlapping plastic gray.

For fans

At the end of 2002 was added to backlog a new version of the model is the Renegade. This nomenclature resurfaced in Jeep and looks like a suitable vehicle for the Dakar. This model is easily recognizable by a few accessories such as a row of four halogen lamps on the roof, running boards removable, removable wheel spacers, special wheels, a roof rack and other accessories inside. Let us rejoice to know that you can also choose other colors than green and khaki in 2003, we find a Liberty Renegade Premium with a long list of little touches, including seats

Leather and front grille.

Finally, looking at the Jeep product line, we see that what should be a simple bridge quickly becomes the only logical choice. Indeed, the TJ is thin and practical arguments Grand Cherokee breathless at the end of the race, the Liberty stands out for its ability to adapt to all kinds of situations. With off-road capabilities similar to those of TJ and Grand Cherokee and a list of equipment that the closer the Grand Cherokee as TJ, Liberty is what the deceased Cherokee could never do, or the bridge between two sides who seemed to be too opposed to able to meet. And it does better than any other vehicle in this category.
