Jeep Liberty Gas Mileage

The 2009 Jeep Liberty is equipped with a 3.7-liter six-cylinder engine that produces gas mileage ratings of 16 city/22 highway (2WD) and 15/21 (4WD).

Although a manual transmission had been available starting with the 2002 Liberty, all 2009 Liberty models are fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission, exclusively. A more fuel efficient 2.4-liter four cylinder engine was available in the 2003 through 2005 Liberty.

The 2005 and 2006 model years were a high-water mark for the Jeep Liberty with regard to mileage. 2005/2006 Liberty CRD was fitted with a VM Motori 2.8 liter common rail diesel four cylinder, producing 160 HP and 295 foot pounds of torque. While the diesel produced roughly the same mileage figures as the conventional gasoline-powered four cylinder, the diesel’s torque advantage was massive.

Unfortunately, the VM Motori engine could not pass the tightened emissions requirements in the 2007 model year, forcing Chrysler to discontinue sales of the Liberty CRD in the USA. That did not stop the company from continuing to install the VM Motori engine in overseas-bound vehicles, however. Diesel Liberty sales continue to this day … just not in America.
