The 2008 Liberty debuted at the 2007 New York International Auto Show. It went into production on July 24, 2007. It got across a complete redesign which resulted in a more boxy and off-road look. The 2008 Liberty is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 4 trims, ranging from the Sport 4X2 to the Limited 4X4. This more masculine Jeep Liberty has some similarity in terms of architecture and exterior package with the Dodge Nitro. It is because; the new Jeep was produced at the Toledo North Assembly Plant (TNAP) in Toledo, Ohio, alongside the Dodge Nitro.

“The Sport 4X2 is equipped with a standard 3.7-liter, V6, 210-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The Limited 4X4 is equipped with a standard 3.7-liter, V6, 210-horsepower engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 21-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.”

It features an Industry-exclusive Sky Slider full-open canvas roof which brings open-air experience to this mid-size SUV. It’s also well noticed that it has an improved seat comfort and an added interior space. “The 2008 Jeep Liberty offers the MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System™ a completely integrated audio, navigation, entertainment and hands-free communication system.”

It looks like the old Cherokee’s so I find nothing wrong with its styling. Although I must say that it looks more decent than any current Jeep. For the money this will be a good SUV. Everybody will surely enjoy the new entertainment features.
