<p>207.203.88.15: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:2004_Jeep_Liberty.jpg|right|250px|2004 Jeep Liberty]]<br /> The '''[[Jeep]] Liberty''' is a [[compact SUV]] from [[DaimlerChrysler]]. The Liberty was introduced in 2002 with styling inspired by the ''Dakar'' and ''Jeepster'' show cars. It competes with the [[Toyota RAV4]], [[Ford Escape]], [[Chevrolet Equinox]] and [[Nissan Xterra]]. The Liberty was the first Jeep to use two new ''PowerTech'' engines: A 150 [[HP|hp]] 2.4 L I4 and a 210 [[HP|hp]] 3.7 L [[V6]]. Despite popular belief, the Liberty was not the first Jeep vehicle to use an [[independent suspension]]; the [[Jeep Wagoneer]] first used it in the 1960s.<br /> <br /> 4-wheel [[4-wheel disc brakes|disc brake]]s were added for 2003. For 2005, a 2.8 L VM Motori [[turbo]][[diesel]] engine became available in the ''CRD'' model. Although diesel engines are not familiar in the American market, Jeep reported that they sold 10,000 Liberty ''CRD'' models in the first calendar year of sales.<br /> <br /> The Liberty has been very successful for Jeep, outselling the [[Ford Escape]] in 2005 to become the best-selling compact SUV in the United States. 70 percent of Liberty buyers are new to the Jeep marque, and the Toledo North Assembly factory in Toledo, Ohio is running overtime to produce the model.<br /> <br /> The Liberty was nominated for the ''North American Truck of the Year'' award for 2002.<br /> <br /> With the arrival of the new Jeep [[compact SUV]]s [[Jeep Compass|Compass]] and [[Jeep Patriot|Patriot]] for 2007, a 2008 Liberty is expected to grow considerably and become a mid-size [[crossover SUV]], with competitors such as the [[Toyota Highlander]], [[Nissan Murano]] and [[Ford Freestyle]], or possibly Jeep could cancel the Liberty.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.jeep.com/liberty/ Jeep Liberty Official Site]<br /> * [http://www.rubicontrail.net/ RUBICONTRAIL.NET]<br /> <br /> {{Jeep}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Jeep vehicles|Liberty]]<br /> [[Category:All wheel drive vehicles]]<br /> [[Category:Rear wheel drive vehicles]]<br /> [[Category:SUVs]]<br /> [[Category:2000s automobiles]]</div>
