Jeep has been part of Chrysler since 1987, when Chrysler acquired the Jeep brand, along with remaining assets

The Jeep Liberty is just a four-door unibody compact SUV manufactured and marketed by Jeep. The Jeep Liberty is well-suited for those seeking a concise SUV that holds its own in the wilderness. Otherwise, more urban-oriented buyers will find most of Liberty's competition to be better at day-to-day drivability and refinement.  Both generations were marketed globally, such as the Jeep Cherokee outside North America. Liberty was recommended a number of other choices, including the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, or Toyota RAV4. The Toledo North Assembly Plant in the United States and other countries including Egypt and Venezuela. The KK generation was manufactured alongside the closely related Dodge Nitro. Officially Jeep ended Production in August 2012. Liberty was superseded by the Jeep Cherokee. The Jeep Liberty is just a compact SUV that is available in two trim levels: Sport and Limited. The Sport features 16-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, full power accessories, stability control, and a six-speaker stereo with CD player. The more exclusive Limited trim gets you amenities such as for instance 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, a six-way power adjustable driver seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Available alternatives include a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated seats, and an in-dash six-disc CD audio system with Infinity speakers. A navigation system, satellite radio, and Bluetooth connectivity may also be available. Inside, the Jeep Liberty provides decent room for four adults (five in a pinch), with satin aluminum accents and chrome-ringed, black-on-white gauges. A full-size spare is hung on the nifty rear cargo door, which features a single-action swing-gate/flipper-glass system. There are a total of 31 cubic feet of cargo space available behind the Liberty's split-folding rear seat and 69 cubic feet when that seat is folded down. The Liberty's main fault is entry and exit for rear passengers; it could be challenging due to the small rear doors and the intrusion of the trunk wheel well into the doorway. The Liberty was the first Jeep vehicle to use rack and pinion steering, and was the first Jeep to utilize the two then-new PowerTech engines; the 150 horsepower (110 kW) 2.4 L straight-4, which was discontinued in 2006, and the 210 horsepower (160 kW) 3.7 L V6, along with a short-lived 2.8 L VM Motori turbo diesel. Jeep vehicle use rack and pinion steering and PowerTech engines, which included 2.4, 2.8 diesel, and 3.7 V-6. Two-wheel or part-time four-wheel drive can be obtained for both trim levels, as is a full-time "Selec-Trac" 4WD system. The Liberty is motivated by a 3.7-liter V6 rated at 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. For the Sport trim level, a six-speed manual transmission is standard and a four-speed automatic is optional. The automatic comes standard on the Limited trim. Properly equipped, the Jeep Liberty can tow around 5,000 pounds. Antilock disc brakes and stability control come standard on the Liberty, and side curtain airbags are available as an option. In NHTSA crash tests, the 2007 Jeep Liberty earned an ideal five stars for driver protection in a frontal impact and four stars for front-passenger protection. Side-impact testing triggered a five-star rating for both front and rear passengers. In frontal-offset crash testing by the IIHS, the Liberty was given a "Marginal" rating, the second lowest of four.
