The 2009 Jeep Liberty is part of the vehicle's second generation. It's a rugged midsize SUV rooted in Jeep's reputable off-roading capability. The Liberty comes with two available trims - the Sport and Limited. Both models are powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine that delivers 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque, mated with a four-speed automatic transmission. It is offered in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. Notable safety features include full-length side curtain airbags and stability control with a rollover sensor. Despite its off-road prowess, its on-road ride and handling, fuel economy, and interior quality were areas where it didn't match up to competitors. Basic infotainment offering included a six-speaker stereo with a CD player, auxiliary audio jack, and in the Limited trim, a touchscreen interface, satellite radio, and Bluetooth.
