Jeep Liberty horsepower, diesel, and which version to choose

Horsepower range in this catalogue is 150 hp (2.4 MT / 2.4 AT, 1 generation) to 213 hp (3.7 Gasoline 6 V-shaped versions in both generations). Diesel horsepower range is 163–200 hp.

If the number that matters is 0–100, the shortest measured times are 8.8 s on 1 generation 3.7 MT RWD and 3.7 AT RWD. 3.7 MT AWD is 9.2 s. 2.4 MT is 10 s in both AWD and RWD. No diesel 0–100 is measured.

If the number that matters is combined fuel use, the lowest measured combined figure is 10.2 l/100 km on 1 generation 2.8 AT 163 hp AWD. 2.4 MT is 10.6. 2.8 MT 177 hp AWD is 11.2. 3.7 AT RWD is 14.6. No 2 generation mpg/l/100 km figure is measured.

If the number that matters is torque, the peak in the catalogue is 460 Nm on 2 generation 2.8 AT 200 hp AWD (Automatic 5), then 410 Nm on 2.8 MT 200 hp, then 400 Nm on the 177 hp and 163 hp diesels. The 213 hp 3.7 Gasoline peak is 318 Nm; the 210 hp 3.7 AT is 307 Nm. Diesel torque peaks at 1800–2000 rpm; 3.7 Gasoline torque peaks at 4000 rpm.

If the number that matters is tank, 1 generation holds 74 l and 2 generation holds 51 l.

If the number that matters is ground clearance, the only measured 1 generation figure is 163 mm (2.8 AT 163 hp); the only measured 2 generation figure is 190 mm (2.8 MT 200 hp and 2.8 AT 200 hp).

If the choice is RWD vs AWD on the same named engine: 1 generation 2.4 MT AWD kerb is 85 kg above RWD; 3.7 MT AWD is 90 kg above RWD; 2.8 MT AWD is 75 kg above RWD. 0–100 is measured as equal on 2.4 MT AWD and RWD (10 s) and 0.4 s slower on 3.7 MT AWD than 3.7 MT RWD.

If the choice is diesel vs gasoline on horsepower: 2 generation 2.8 AT / 2.8 MT at 200 hp sit 13 hp below the 213 hp 3.7 versions and 10 hp below the 210 hp 3.7 AT. The 200 hp diesel 2.8 AT still has 142 Nm more peak torque than the 213 hp 3.7 (460 vs 318).

Problems and reliability

This catalogue does not measure Jeep Liberty engine problems, engine light behaviour, reliability scores, or engine-swap data. Those searches have not measured answers here. What is measured is the version table: power, torque, displacement, fuel type, cylinders, layout, boost, gearbox, drive, and — where filled — 0–100, top speed, fuel use, weights, tank, clearance, and wheels.
