2008 Jeep Liberty - Redesigned From Ground-Up
By Lisa Ziegler

The all new 2008 Jeep Liberty is designed to take more of the classic Jeep form. The reason? Well, it is a fact that classic designs are timeless and this is probably the reason why Chrysler has decided to make the new 2008 Jeep Liberty as classic as possible.

The new 2008 Jeep Liberty has made its debut at the New York International Auto Show where it displayed its well-groomed appearance which strongly suggests its classic Jeep heritage. And recently Jeep had agreed to let The Detroit News see the new Liberty as well as to interview some of the people behind the vehicle’s new design.

The all-new 2008 Liberty that will hit dealerships beginning the third quarter of this year is equipped with the many elements that arched this vehicle to become a top seller in the small SUV segment. Designers also straightened out most of the Liberty’s curves but at the same time retained some of the individual quirks, while adding a few more features. “There are two types of Jeeps, modern and classic. We wanted the Liberty to mature but still remain playful. The open top was really an engineering tour de force,” said Ralph Gilles, Jeep’s top designer. He was also the on responsible for the interior design of the original Liberty that debuted in 2002.

Liberty engineers were also very pleased with the all-new Sky Slide which they claimed is an industry exclusive and create a giant sunroof that measures 33 inches by 41 inches.

To open the sunroof a switch is used to open the roof electronically, gathering the canvas at either end. Once it’s completely open, passengers in the second row will be able to enjoy an open sky ride. Jeep
