Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2009 Liberty is larger than the previous generation, with an additional two inches added in length and a half inch in width. It's also much more masculine -- a trait that is applauded by reviewers. Of course, the exterior's standout feature is the optional Sky Slider roof, a scrolling canvas top that runs nearly the length of the vehicle.

• "The second-generation Liberty is squarer, harder-edged and not quite as cute as its predecessor. In short, it looks like a Commander in three-quarter scale. -- New Car Test Drive.
• "The original Jeep Liberty hid its toughness behind a veil of cuteness. It was all rounded edges and bug eyes ... No surprise then, that the redesigned 2008 Jeep Liberty is all hard edges and square jowls." -- Edmunds
• "Hummer has teased us with a similar concept for the H3, but the Liberty's roof is for real. African safari, here we come." -- Automobile Magazine
• "I love the clean, boxy, rugged look of the Liberty. From its big, round headlights to its chunky tires, the Liberty screams "Jeep." Its abrupt exterior angles contribute to the Liberty's no-nonsense appeal." -- Mother Proof
