Cheaper fuel, better mileage, Earth-friendly ride are payoffs. SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Listen closely. That ticking sound you hear in the distance is not a time bomb, although it could be. With gasoline prices still hovering somewhere near "Are you kidding me?" and "I can't take this anymore," that click-click-click you hear could justifiably be the sound of Americans ready to explode over high oil prices. Or it could be the sound of the 2005 Jeep Liberty (diesel). If you've never driven a diesel, there are a few things to know. For starters, yes, it's normal for the entire block to hear you idling at the stoplight. Second, diesels are cleaner than they used to be. They are not the exhaust-belching, dirty engines they used to be. They are clean and provide a much smoother operation. Finally (and here's the good part), diesels are something to consider. The Liberty still offers a high seating position, all-around versatility (including off-roading) and a little Earth-friendly feel-good story (20 percent less CO2 emissions). Borrowed and enhanced from Chrysler's European vehicles, the all-new 2.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Liberty is called a CRD, short for common rail diesel is made in Italy by VM Motori. The Liberty was designed with the fuel economy of a four-cylinder engine, the acceleration of a V-6 and the torque of a V-8. After taking the Liberty through city slowdowns and highway speeds, it fits the bill. The turbo-diesel Liberty gets 22 miles per gallon in city driving and 27 on the highway, which is 5 mpg better than the V-6 gas engine in both cases. Diesels provide robust torque, and the Liberty doesn't disappoint. Its power numbers (160 horsepower) are a little modest, but there is loads of acceleration in this engine (295 pounds-foot torque at a low rpm). It can even tow 5,000 pounds, which is best in its class. On the road, the early Liberty offered good road feel and sharp handling, and this model is no exception. With direct inputs from wheel to tire, the Liberty provides a good connection to the highway. It doesn't float its way along. Barely 15 miles into my nocturnal journey into Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, I had forgotten that the SUV was powered by a diesel, or that the diesel was a small four-cylinder job. It really did feel like a powerful V-8. It accelerated without the slightest hesitation, changing lanes with absolute confidence. It proved quite nimble in tight traffic and where it also fit nicely into parking spaces for mid-size sedans. With a coil spring independent front suspension and link-coil rear suspension, the Liberty offers a firm, well-controlled ride. Like previous Liberty models, cargo room is abundant when the rear seats are folded flat. When the seats are upright, the Liberty is a decent suitcase hauler in the cargo area."
