The Jeep Liberty KJ, produced from 2002 to 2007, is a compact SUV that marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the Cherokee XJ. The KJ was built on a unibody platform, a first for the Jeep brand, and featured a more car-like driving experience compared to the rugged body-on-frame Cherokee. It was available with a choice of two engines: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.7-liter V6, both paired with either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The Liberty KJ offered both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, with the latter featuring a part-time transfer case for off-road capabilities. Despite its more refined exterior and interior, the Liberty KJ retained several Jeep hallmarks, including the iconic seven-slot grille and rugged styling.
The Jeep Liberty KJ garnered mixed reviews upon its release. While praised for its improved ride quality, spacious interior, and enhanced fuel economy compared to the Cherokee, it was criticized for its lack of off-road prowess, particularly in comparison to other Jeep models. Additionally, some owners experienced issues with engine reliability and transmission problems, particularly with the 3.7-liter V6. However, the Liberty KJ remained popular for its affordability, versatility, and familiar Jeep brand appeal. Its compact size made it a practical choice for urban dwellers and families seeking a comfortable and capable SUV, while its four-wheel drive option appealed to those seeking occasional off-road adventures.
