The Jeep Liberty KJ, produced from 2002 to 2007, marked a departure from the traditional Jeep design language while still retaining the brand's core values of ruggedness and off-road capability. This compact SUV replaced the Cherokee (XJ) and was aimed at a younger, more urban-focused audience. Its unibody construction, a first for a Jeep SUV, provided a more car-like ride and handling, while still offering respectable off-road performance. Power came from a range of 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines, including the iconic 4.0L inline-six known for its durability and power. Transmissions included a 4-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual, the latter being more popular with enthusiasts seeking a more engaging driving experience.

The Liberty KJ's design featured a bolder, more angular aesthetic than previous Jeeps, with a high beltline and distinctive headlights. It was available in various trim levels, ranging from the base Sport model to the luxurious Limited, offering features like leather upholstery, heated seats, and a premium sound system. While the Liberty KJ wasn't as hardcore off-road as the Wrangler, its ground clearance, available four-wheel drive, and optional Trail Rated package allowed it to tackle mild off-road challenges. Despite its popularity, the Liberty KJ was criticized for its cramped rear passenger space and somewhat rough ride on rough roads. Nevertheless, it remains a reliable and capable compact SUV that continues to appeal to buyers looking for a blend of practicality and ruggedness in a vehicle with a strong Jeep heritage.
