Used 2005 Jeep Liberty for Sale near Kennewick, WA
The 2005 Jeep Liberty is a capable off-roader and can handle daily driving with ease.
Jeep’s pint-sized SUV, the Liberty, is now three years into its first generation on the market in the United States. Three powertrains are available for the 2005 model year. The first is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. The first optional engine is a 3.7-liter V6 that makes 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. A 2.8-liter turbodiesel inline-four is available that makes 160 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
The Jeep Liberty Sport's four-cylinder engine comes only with a six-speed manual transmission and no option to add an automatic transmission, which comes standard with the V6. The diesel comes with a five-speed automatic with overdrive. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is available.
The Liberty slots into the Jeep lineup as one of its smallest vehicles. It's smaller than a Grand Cherokee and not quite as hardcore as a Wrangler, but carries many of the most popular styling elements from both.
Three trims are available: Sport, Renegade, and Limited. The Liberty competes with the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, Nissan Xterra, Ford Escape, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4. It is targeted at new-car buyers that want a compact SUV with legitimate off-road capabilities.
4 Overall rating
(57 reviews)It's a good choice for drivers who like to venture into the backcountry, but need comfort and practicality in a daily driver. A higher degree of off-highway capability separates the Liberty from other small SUVs. Though less agile on the road than the so-called cute-utes, the Liberty is superior once you leave the pavement.
Extremely capable off-road, creative interior design, still a Jeep at heart. Exterior appearance changes in 2005 include a new front fascia, grille, fender flares and body side moldings. Interior upgrades include relocated power window switches, new instrument panel cluster graphics and trim bezels and improved seat comfort. The Liberty handles really easy, it is a safe ride and has a good bit of power with the 3.7L v6 Sport model. It is fun to drive and take to the mountains.
Overall this rating of this jeep is excellent in the performance and handling area, and it continues to run strong even being over 10 years old. And I cant forget about the 2wd/4wd, which was very convenient when it came to a snowy day.
I bought my Jeep new in February, 2005. The only issue I had was the AC went out at around 120,000 miles. I recently lost my Jeep (with 149,000 miles) to ice & a guardrail. Even though I bounced off the guardrail, flipped on my (driver's) side and slid spinning about 30 feet before flipping back upright, the engine never stopped running. I turned it off and walked away with a few bruises. For that reason alone, I am now looking for another Jeep.
it's a 6 speed!! fun and super zippy.it likes to get up and go fast. corners ok, but it has a narrow wheel base, so can't go really super fast around corners. but, the turning radius is amazing! i can turn around in the tightest of places. my one regret is that i didn't get the 4-wheel drive [i couldn't afford it :( ] and it's back wheel drive which sucks ass in the snow and ice. otherwise, its great1
