The Jeep Liberty (also sold as the Jeep Cherokee) is a compact SUV from DaimlerChrysler. The KJ Liberty was introduced in 2002 with styling inspired by the Dakar and Jeepster show cars. The Liberty was the first Jeep to boast an independent suspension (though only in front), and used two new PowerTech engines: A 150 hp 2.4 L I4 and 210 hp 3.7 L V6.
