The Jeep Liberty, introduced in 2002 as a 2003 model year, was a compact SUV that marked a significant shift in design philosophy for the American automaker. Built on the "KJ" platform, the Liberty aimed to offer a more car-like driving experience compared to its rugged predecessors like the Cherokee. This shift was evident in its unibody construction, which provided a more comfortable ride and enhanced handling characteristics. Powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a 3.7-liter V6 engine, the Liberty offered a balance of power and fuel efficiency, catering to both urban and suburban lifestyles. The interior featured a spacious and functional cabin with a focus on practicality, incorporating a split-folding rear seat and ample cargo space. The Liberty also boasted a range of safety features, including standard dual front airbags, optional side airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Throughout its production run, the Liberty underwent several updates and refinements. The 2005 model year saw the introduction of a new 2.8-liter CRD diesel engine, aimed at improving fuel economy and torque. Later model years also saw the addition of advanced features like a sunroof, a premium sound system, and a navigation system, further enhancing the Liberty's appeal. Despite its success, the Liberty was discontinued in 2012, replaced by the Jeep Cherokee. However, its legacy remains strong, especially among those seeking a versatile and capable compact SUV with a focus on comfort and practicality. The Jeep Liberty, particularly the 2003 model year, continues to be a popular choice for enthusiasts and mechanics alike, as evidenced by the availability of comprehensive service repair manuals like the "Jeep Liberty 2003 KJ Service Repair Manual FSM."
