Welcome to Tunkhannock Auto Mart
The 2010 Jeep Liberty carries on the Jeep tradition of off roading and rugged style along with some nice updates to keep it modern. The Liberty has an EPA fuel economy of 15 - 16 mpg city and 21 - 22 mpg highway. It has a starting MSRP of $23,255 - $28,735. The Jeep Liberty was all-new for 2008, and is further improved for 2009, with refinements to its suspension, steering, and brakes. For 2010, the Liberty gets a system that shuts off the engine when decelerating to improve its gas mileage, as well as an indicator on the dash to show when the Liberty is being driven efficiently. The Jeep Liberty also receives a new Renegade trim for 2010. Positioned between the Sport and Limited models, the Renegade features Select-Trac II full-time, shift-on-the-fly, active four-wheel-drive system, in a unique rugged new design. Both two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive systems are offered on the Sport and Limited trims, while the Renegade is equipped with four-wheel drive only. The SkySlider option is a full-length open canvas sunroof that can slide accordion-style forward, backward or partially opened to any position in-between.

Liberty Power

For 2010, the Liberty's new standard fuel shut-off system that turns off fuel when the vehicle is decelerating improves fuel economy. There's also a standard fuel-saving indicator that lights up in the odometer to notify the driver when the vehicle is being driven in a fuel-efficient manner. The standard powertrain in all Liberty models is a 210 hp 3.7-liter V6 and a four-speed automatic transmission. When properly equipped, the Liberty can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Design of the '10 Liberty

On the outside, the Liberty is all Jeep with the traditional seven-slot grille and trapezoidal fender flares that enhance the vehicle's side profile. The current model is 2.5 inches longer and 0.8 inch wider than the previous generation, with a wheelbase that grows by 1.8 inches. Its tall, upright, angular styling is reminiscent of the Cherokee. Internally, Jeep calls the Liberty's platform KJ. It is the same platform used for the last model and it is shared with the Dodge Nitro. The big news here is the new rear suspension. It's an independent five-link unit that allows for greater interior room and better ride characteristics. Jeep feels the new generation Liberty's more rugged looks will attract an even split of male/female buyers. Unlike many panoramic sunroofs offered today, Jeep's Sky Slider roof is made of canvas rather than glass. The fabric roof folds on itself as it opens, and Jeep says the top is leak-proof. From the side, the Liberty looks like a junior Commander, with tall windows in a squared off greenhouse. The Limited's chrome theme extends to the side with chrome side trim and roof rails. These components are black on Sport, and the roof rails are optional. In an attempt to give the Liberty the open feel of a Wrangler, Jeep offers the Sky Slider sunroof.

Jeep Liberty Capability and Drive

Both four-wheel-drive systems make the Liberty highly capable off road, and they are aided by Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. Within its class, only the Nissan Xterra can claim as much off-road capability. The base four-wheel-drive system is Jeep's Command Trac, a part-time system designed for off-road use. Also offered is Selec-Trac II ($445), a full-time system that allows use of four-wheel drive on dry pavement. Both systems have low-range gearing. In off-road conditions the Liberty is quite capable. With generous approach and departure angles and low-range gearing for 4x4 models, it can crawl over large rocks and logs. Four-wheel-drive models have Hill Descent Control, which pulses the brakes through the ABS to limit the vehicle's speed when driving down steep grades. Hill Start Assist is also standard. It holds the brakes on hills when the driver releases the pedal to prevent the vehicle from sliding backward. When they redesigned it for 2008, Jeep engineers set out to give the Liberty pleasant road manners and, when it comes to ride quality, they succeeded. The Liberty rides firmly, but irons out most bumps quite well and is stable on the highway.

Inside the Liberty

The Liberty's interior is much improved from the first generation model. Cargo room is a plus. The Liberty's second row seats fold flat, as does the front passenger seat, to provide plenty of room for hauling boxes, bikes and life's other accessories. Cargo space is about average for the class. The second-row seats fold flat in an easy one-step process to yield 64.6 cubic feet of cargo space. With the seats up there is 31.2 cubic feet of cargo room, which is plenty of room for hauling groceries with the kids in the vehicle. The available fold-flat front-passenger seat allows for loading long items. In back, Jeep provides a shallow under-floor storage area with a reversible cover that is carpeted on one side and formed into a plastic tray on the other. Both the left and right rear panels in the cargo area have tie-down loops for securing items to the load floor. The left rear panel houses a concealed compartment for jack storage and tools. The second row offers lots of head room. Leg room is decent, even with the front seats all the way back. Toe space is plentiful under the seats.  The second-row seats aren't the most comfortable, however; they're flat and short with little thigh or shoulder support and they lack a fold-down center armrest. Getting in the second row is an easy step in, but the opening is a bit small, so it requires some ankle twisting.

All New Liberty Renegade and other Trims

 Renegade expands the Jeep Liberty lineup, delivering renowned capability in a hip, premium and rugged new design. The Renegade is highlighted by Jeep's Select-Trac II full-time active four-wheel drive system, stylish 16-inch painted Mineral Gray Keystone wheels, black out headlamps and upscale interior accents. The Jeep Liberty Renegade is both urban dweller and off-road explorer.

The base Sport tri features include cloth upholstery, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, 65/35 split folding rear seats, power mirrors, power locks, power windows, remote keyless entry, AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo and auxiliary input jack, vehicle information center, and P225/75R16 all-season tires on aluminum wheels. The Renegade comes in right between the Sport and Limited, with a few upgrades from sport.  Limited come standard with Yes Essentials cloth upholstery, heated power mirrors, 368-watt Infinity sound system with eight speakers, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with redundant audio and vehicle information center controls, auto-dimming rearview mirror, roof rails, six-way power driver's seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, universal garage door opener, antitheft alarm, fog lamps, full-size spare and P235/65R17 all-season tires on aluminum wheels.

Summary

Safety features include the dual front airbags, plus head-protecting side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors and front side airbags for torso protection. Active safety features include anti-lock brakes with brake assist, hill start assist, traction control, and electronic stability control with rollover mitigation. The antilock brakes have rough road detection; when rough conditions are detected, the system holds the brake pulses longer to better slow the vehicle. Hill descent control is standard on 4x4 models. Optional safety features include trailer sway control and rear obstacle detection. The 2010 Jeep Liberty is the perfect vehicle for someone looking for a daily driver and a weekend tripper in one. The Liberty is also great for small families looking for the available four wheel drive, towing capabilities, and cargo capacity.The 2010 Jeep Liberty carries on the Jeep tradition of off roading and rugged style along with some nice updates to keep it modern.
