Liberty is available in two trim levels, Sport and Limited Edition.
Each is available with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Two engines are available, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.7-liter V6. The V6 engine is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission on the Limited Edition, and comes standard with a 5-speed manual on the Sport. The four-cylinder engine is only available with a five-speed manual gearbox. Sport 2WD models ($16,450) come standard with the four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual, a cloth interior, wind-up windows, manually operated mirrors, and 16-inch tires on steel wheels. Air conditioning ($850) is an option, but a six-speaker stereo is standard.
Limited Edition 2WD models ($21,260) come standard with the V6 engine and automatic transmission. Also, many features are standard on the Limited that are extra-cost options on the Sport, such as air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, illuminated remote keyless entry, better interior lighting, a roof rack, floor mats, cargo cover, and a CD changer.
Leather is available as part of a big option package on the Limited.
Four-wheel drive adds $1510 to each model. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes ($600) are optional, as are side-impact airbags ($390), both money well spent. Four-wheel-drive models come standard with a skid plate to protect the front suspension; serious adventurers may want the optional Off-Road Group ($765 for Sport, $520 for Limited), which includes fuel tank and transfer case skid plates, a locking rear differential, heavy-duty engine cooling P235/70R16 all-terrain tires, and tow hooks.
