A sophisticated off-roader!
The optional North Package still appears on the menu of the entry-level Sport model. Black side roof rails, a cargo compartment cover, a security alarm system, fog lamps, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a temperature gauge with compass are included.

Awake the off-roader in you!
The mid-range Renegade model targets Liberty owners who are a bit more serious about challenging Mother Earth, which is why the equipment differs significantly.

Outside, there are grey fender flares as well as distinctive headlights and grille. Underbody skid plates come standard along with a tire pressure monitoring system, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control.

Meanwhile, the interior receives the aforementioned EVIC interface (also standard in Limited trim).

Two 4WD systems
Two different four-wheel drive systems are found on the catalogue of the 2011 Jeep Liberty, which proudly wears the brand's ''Trail Rated'' badge.

Command-Trac II (standard in Sport and Limited trim) uses a two-speed, part-time 4WD transfer case. The normal driving mode is 2WD (rear).

The more competent Selec-Trac II (standard in Renegade trim, optional with the other two) allows more hardcore off-roading. It features a two-speed, full-time active "on-demand" 4WD transfer case with active torque distribution (electronic shifting is accomplished via a console-mounted switch).

Now that will get you way off the beaten path!
