The Jeep Liberty KJ, produced from 2002 to 2007, marked a significant shift in the Jeep brand's approach to the compact SUV market. Replacing the Cherokee XJ, the Liberty aimed to appeal to a wider audience with its more car-like handling, modern interior, and refined design. Built on the Chrysler's "KJ" platform, the Liberty shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Neon and the Chrysler PT Cruiser. It featured a unibody construction, which provided a more comfortable ride and better handling compared to its predecessor's body-on-frame setup. Under the hood, the Liberty offered a choice between two engines: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 150 horsepower and a 3.7-liter V6 engine generating 210 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering adequate power for everyday driving. The Liberty's spacious cabin offered comfortable seating for five passengers and ample cargo space, making it suitable for both urban and suburban lifestyles.

Despite its efforts to cater to a wider audience, the Liberty faced some criticism for its lack of off-road capability compared to its predecessor. While it retained the Jeep's iconic ruggedness, the unibody construction and limited ground clearance hindered its ability to tackle challenging terrain. However, the Liberty's versatility, comfortable ride, and modern features made it a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a capable and stylish compact SUV. The Liberty KJ's legacy lives on as a reliable and practical vehicle, showcasing a pivotal shift in Jeep's design philosophy and its growing appeal beyond traditional off-road enthusiasts.
