The 2002 Jeep Liberty, a compact SUV, marked a shift in Jeep's design philosophy, moving away from the traditional boxy shape of earlier models towards a more rounded and aerodynamic profile. Featuring a unibody construction for improved ride comfort and handling, the Liberty was powered by a 2.4L four-cylinder or 3.7L V6 engine, paired with either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. Built on a modified version of the Chrysler Compact Platform, it shared many components with other Chrysler products, including the Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon. Despite its smaller size compared to the Cherokee, the Liberty offered a spacious interior, capable of carrying five passengers comfortably, and boasted a respectable ground clearance, making it suitable for light off-road adventures. The 2002 Jeep Liberty was equipped with features that catered to both on-road and off-road driving, including standard four-wheel disc brakes, an optional rear limited-slip differential, and available features like a roof rack and tow package. Safety features included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a reinforced passenger safety cage. Although its design and features were met with mixed reviews, the 2002 Jeep Liberty resonated with buyers seeking a capable and versatile SUV at a competitive price point. Its practical nature and reliability made it a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a vehicle that could handle everyday commutes and weekend excursions alike.
