The 2010 Jeep Liberty features a classic, chiseled grille, a rugged exterior design, and new fuel-efficient technologies that complement its off-road bravado.
This all-American SUV is powered by a 210-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 that is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers more power than the Honda CR-V or Nissan Rogue. The driving force is delivered to a two-wheel drive system, or one of two available all-wheel drive systems. The Liberty achieves 15-16 mpg around town and 21-22 mpg on the highway, and can tow an impressive 5,000 pounds.
Sixty-five cubic feet of cargo room and better rear legroom than the aforementioned competitors mean you can buy all the balloons from your local grocery store and drive them to the park to set them free. The base Sport model comes with Sirius Satellite Radio, a six-speaker stereo and a six-CD changer. The optional innovative Sky Slider™ movable canvas roof, a mammoth retractable roof that features a windscreen, one-touch opening in 18 seconds, and anti-pinch protection, is a first-in-class innovation.
The Limited model upgrades the seat skins to a premium cloth, adds leather trim to the center console, doors, shift knob and steering wheel, and upgrades the stereo to a 368-watt Infinity model. The Limited model also makes available features including heat for the front seats, rear parking sensors and a navigation system. The available Uconnect multimedia system impresses with a 30 GB hard drive to store and play music, and can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot to which you can connect laptops and other wireless electronics.
With a strong Jeep chassis, dual front and two-row head curtain airbags, you know you are safe inside this vehicle. Trailer Sway Control helps to reduce trailer sway and improve handling even in crosswinds or heavy traffic. As you might expect, the 2010 Jeep Liberty achieves Five-Star ratings for front and side impact tests by NHTSA. Antilock brakes with braking assist and traction and stability control systems keep you free-spirited and in full control.
The 2010 Jeep Liberty is an affordable small SUV with great power, nice features, and an available four-wheel drive system from the best name in the business.
