Dynamically, the car is not a very good
Liberty in the context of new SUVs and Crossovers. The 3.7-liter V-6 feels
pretty old nowadays, producing 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. Do a
little math reveals that poor engine power-to-displacement and torque ratios to
move (56.7 hp and 63.5 lb-ft of torque per liter of displacement). The 3.7
redlines at 6000 rpm / min, but the peak power and torque that arrives at 5200
rev / min and 4000 respectively, the Liberty really needs to be revved to get
something.
This shows through to the pump. With an EPA
rating of 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 on the highway, I was not
expecting to sip fuel. And with an average of seventeen miles per gallon, I was
right. Fortunately, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 will fit under the hood along
the Liberty.
Despite the generally uninspired engine, I
really enjoyed the freedom. There is something more American traditional
bombings in on an all-terrain. This is especially true in the snow-covered
Michigan, where the chance to step off the beaten track can become an adventure
of fun on the side. That being said, I would not mind a little more off-road
tech in Liberty. A box or two-speed transfer system Selec-Terrain fantasy Grand
Cherokee would welcome additions. The two would go a long way to give freedom a
little more off-road cred and an extra dose of security.

I feel very law in the conduct of Liberty.
It is big enough, and sitting felt even greater. This is useful for better
visibility, especially with large rectangular windows throughout the cabin.
Unlike many SUVs and crossovers, I feel that I can actually have a sense of
investment in terms of channels, other vehicles, etc., instead of the sole
benefit of a good view of the road. The windows are low enough so I could see
the ground almost directly next to the vehicle as well. It would surely be
useful in a precarious off-road, but it also inspires some confidence on the
road and parking lots.
The suspension is stiff enough when
traveling on the road and it does not absorb a lot of bumps and imperfections
at speed. Liberty also has a tendency to switch back and forth, and I imagine
my cold neck feeling sore after a long drive on roads in need of Michigan. In
addition, this feeling I have said above is reflected in a large number of
welds in the corners, which is far from ideal for comfort and stability.
The interior of this particular Jeep was a
marked improvement over the past freedoms. He had black leather upholstery, and
the basic design of the cabin look more classic type as the previous Jeep
Liberty I drove (which had more atmospheres Car Rental in progress). He felt
very Purpose Driven, and many angles and rectangles mirror the exterior
styling.

With all the big changes, big updates and
new vehicles that Chrysler Group was the deployment of the end (think Dodge
Charger / Chrysler 300, Jeep Liberty, and even the Fiat 500), Liberty feels bit
shy to me. Driving dynamics do not feel a lot better than the outgoing truck,
and the right to Brandon to the question of the absence of the other ubiquitous
Pentastar V-6 here, too. I think Jeep, rightly put most of his time and
resources to update the Grand Cherokee, giving them the freedom that the
benefit of a new (and much better, thank you) inside.
In short, the Liberty is a much better
purchase in 2011 than it was in the 2010 model year, but I do not see a lot of
sales to the conquest of the new generation of SUVs and crossovers.
However, the freedom to do a good price /
engine / size equation compared to the competition. The slots between Jeep
great options like the Chevrolet Equinox Highlander / Toyota, and smaller as
the Honda CR-V and Kia Sportage. It also has a V-6, where many options are
similar to only four cylinders (with six more powerful, in spite of how we feel
about it), and its price is competitive with all smaller vehicles.

Benefits
Off-road capability is certainly still
present
Refinement of the Interior has made some
progress in this generation
Price to be competitive with large, AWD
vehicles less powerful
Cons
3.7-liter V-6 feels a bit old considering
the Pentastar is now in other Jeeps
Feels a little unstable when cornering at
high speed
For a little more you can have a V-6 Grand
Cherokee, is this you really want?
