Exterior

Over the past few years, Jeep has consistently designed vehicles in the vein of its beloved Cherokee of the 1980s — the large Commander and small Patriot both share that look. The Liberty once had some stylish, rounded design elements, but no more (see a side-by-side comparison with the 2007 model). The 2008 version is all box, to help achieve that Cherokee aura. The abrupt angles, however, don't recall the classic Cherokee so much as they do World War II-era Jeeps. It's a masculine appearance that may turn off the avid female buyers that made the original Liberty such a strong seller.
