What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Jeep Liberty appreciate its roominess, off-road capability, and solid performance on various terrains. Many enjoy the vehicle's comfort and handling, particularly for longer trips. However, some owners express dissatisfaction with its fuel economy and occasional high pricing for used models in poor condition. In general, it seems to be a reliable choice for those who value space and a rugged feel."
I used to own an 01 XJ and sold it a year ago to get the new KK Liberty. It kind of reminded me of the XJ but in a larger package. First thing I noticed is how heavy it is compared to the XJ and the gas pedal is not synchorinized with the engine... its weird.. not like the XJ where you press the gas pedal and the response is instantenous, the whole car shakes because of its power... I did not find this in the new Libby. Ride quality is nice but sometimes its just too soft... maybe with some aftermarket shocks and a little lift this could be fixed. Interior space is much more friendlier and nicer than the old XJ. All in all I was pleased, but I do have one request for JEEP: make the next gen Liberty a 4.0 litre engine with around 270 hp so it can compete with the 4runner.
December 29, 2009Comfortable and roomy. Great entertainment system and bluetooth technology. Great beach Car. Fits a lot in trunk. Can remove back seats for for bigger loads. Moon roof lets a lot of light in. Great in snow. leather seats are easy to clean. Love It.
February 20, 2013The redesigned styling of the Liberty is what initially drew me to consider it when I was in the market. I've found the vehicle to be versatile and quite capable in DEEP snow. As a Paramedic it's imperative that I be able to get to work, the Liberty never let me down. Mechanically I have no issues. Regular oil changes and routine maintenance is all that has been required. I just replaced my original tires at 74,589 miles...Not bad!

July 15, 2014I bought this vehicle after we drove a rental and fell in love with it. The ride is very smooth, the handling nice, overall very nice ride for an SUV. The newer body style is MUCH roomier than the old style.
February 20, 2012Ideal smaller SUV for those that want a traditional truck/SUV drive, height, and feel, not a lifted family sedan
August 24, 2022Love the boxy looking Jeeps! Just took this across the country. 5,000 miles and 13 states. Not a single problem
January 18, 2022Wonderful experience driving it. The design is also more appealing to me. Gives younger drivers like me an alternative to the "Dad's" Grand Cherokee. Has a tough and funky outlook with all the features of a Grand Cherokee.
June 25, 2008It's a jeep what else do i have to say. best 4x4 that i've driven since i turned in my 95 wrangler and now i still would like a wrangler but the size isn't big enough for my women. performance is good acceleration is quick braking is good love the one touch sun roof and drivers window
August 3, 2008Nice new model of the old liberty, has some familiarities with the Dodge Nitro, but has its own particular look, nice to drive, easy to handle very short circle, cool car. After 30000 miles and 2.5 yr, I am still very happy with my Jeep Liberty, no repairs needed and I am not very accurate with service appointments, still a very strong, cool car!!! Lots of space, my labrador loves it.
April 28, 2008The cars rides well and drives better I love that its four wheel drive so I can go off roading. But it is just not what I need at this time. Overall Great for families and college kids who need some extra space.
