The Renegade ($27,860) is available only with four-wheel drive. The lone engine is a 210-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

The base four-wheel-drive system is Jeep's Command Trac, a part-time system designed for off-road use. Also offered is Selec-Trac II ($445), a full-time system that allows use of four-wheel drive on dry pavement. Both systems have low-range gearing.

Jeep Liberty Renegade includes skid plates for the transmission, transfer case, front suspension, and engine; transmission oil cooler; tow hooks; and fender flares. It is fitted for the more rugged off-roading experience. Its options are similar to those of the Sport.

Jeep Liberty Limited comes standard with a 368-watt Infinity sound system with eight speakers, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with redundant audio and vehicle information center controls, auto-dimming rearview mirror, roof rails, six-way power driver's seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, universal garage door opener, anti-theft alarm, fog lamps, and 235/65R17 all-season tires on aluminum wheels. Limited options include an AM/FM/CD/DVD system with HDD navigation ($1,505): the Comfort and Convenience Group, which includes automatic climate control, rear park assist, and remote start ($590); and the Premium Wheel Group, which includes P235/60R18 all-season tires on chrome clad alloy wheels ($1,125). Most of the options available for the Sport are also available for the Limited, where applicable.

Safety features include dual front airbags, plus head-protecting side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors, front side airbags for torso protection, and active front-seat head restraints. Active safety features include anti-lock brakes with brake assist, hill start assist, traction control, and electronic stability control with rollover mitigation. The antilock brakes have rough road detection; when rough conditions are detected, the system holds the brake pulses longer to better slow the vehicle. Hill descent control is standard on 4x4 models. Optional safety features include trailer sway control and rear obstacle detection.
