Jeep Liberty dimensions

The 2012 Jeep Liberty can certainly hack it in the bushes, but it struggles on the pavement. Dashboard class and fuel efficiency also leave much to be desired. Jeep Liberty SUV offers the following pros: Considerable off-road capabilities; useful towing capacity Jeep Liberty SUV drawbacks are: Sluggish V6 with poor fuel efficiency; outdated four-speed automatic; sloppy handling; subpar dashboard materials quality; poor headlight illumination.

The 2012 Jeep Liberty is provided in three versions: Sport, Limited and a new Jet model.

The entry-level Sport comes traditional with 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, heated mirrors, keyless entry, full performance accessories, air-conditioning, cruise control, cloth upholstery, a fold-flat front passenger bench, 60/40-split-folding and reclining back bench, a tilt-only helm with inbuilt stereo controls, and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player, radio and an optional stereo slot. The Driver's Comfort Group adds Bluetooth phone and stereo connectivity, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a compass and an outside temperature screen. The Well-known Equipment Group gets you updated tires, foglamps, roof rack side rails, back privacy glass, a trunk cover, the compass/outside temperature screen and a leather-wrapped helm. The Convenience Seating Group adds heated performance front seatings (six-way driver, two-way passenger), driver memory functions and leather upholstery.
