With new features and advancements, it seems as though Jeep wants to make sure shoppers will be able to find a 2008 Liberty for just about any need or budget.
Redesigned from the ground up, Chrysler group has slashed $2,695 from the price of the base 4x4, while adding more cargo and rear-seat legroom, a more functional interior and even an industry-exclusive Sky Slider roof system. The latter is a canvas roof mechanism which opens completely, giving passengers a wide-open view of the sky above. Pricing for the Sky Slider is $1,525.
The model lineup includes the Jeep Liberty Sport, Jeep Liberty North Edition and Jeep Liberty Limited.
$27,695 starts the bidding for a base "Sport" model 4x4, not including destination. A 4x2 model is not available.
The mid-range Liberty North starts at $28,545 and comes with added features including fog lamps, window tint, a premium stereo system and fold-flat passenger seat.
At $32,795, buyers can get into a Liberty Limited, with upgrades including leather seats, power heated mirrors, an alarm system and 17" wheels.
"The all-new 2008 Jeep Liberty is a critical next step in our Jeep product offensive," said Judy Wheeler, Vice President of Marketing at DaimlerChrysler Canada. "Our goal with the new Liberty is to leverage a lower MSRP price and our 4x4 leadership to appeal to a wider range of Canadians who desire an authentic sport-utility vehicle."
Authentic indeed. Liberty's system isn't a wimpy all-wheel drive, but rather one which diverts power from the familiar 3.7-litre V6 engine to all four tires via Jeep's Command-Trac II system, or optionally through the advanced Selec-Trac II system. Both include a low range setting and offer unprecedented driver control in any terrain.
Check dealer showrooms for the 2008 Liberty later this summer.
