2003 Jeep Liberty (Renegade Edition)
The Renegade edition of the Jeep Liberty owes it top-line
status to the maximization of three key areas of SUV
driving: off-road performance, interior luxury and style.
Introduced as the 2002 model year came to a close, the
adventurous Renegade wears a name that hints at the
rebellious nature of its design. Pushing the standards
of the Liberty past the limits of caution, the Renegade
runs full-throttle over whatever terrain is laid at
its feet.
The Renegade's style certainly distinguishes itself
from other SUVs on the road. Combining an integrated
activity light bar, unique roof basket, "bolt-on"
wheel flares, removable side steps, unique wheels and
a two-tone front fascia, the ultimate adventure package
is realized.
Under the Hood
There is plenty of bite under the hood of the 2003
Renegade. With its 3.7-liter V6 engine, capable of 210
horsepower at 5200rpm and 235lb-ft of torque at 4000rpm,
it has the type of pickup to power through snow, slime,
mud and grime. 2WD and 4WD configurations are available,
a feature not at all surprising given the Liberty's
solid off-road construction.
The Renegade provides plenty of stability with coil
spring independent front suspension and link-coil rear
suspension. Smooth rack-and-pinion steering makes handling
a breeze no matter the condition, while 4-wheel disc
brakes and dual front airbags head the list of safety
features.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The Renegade's interior features front seats with a
unique combination of flat woven cloth and leather.
Genuine brushed aluminum highlights on the instrument
panel add a modern, machined look to the interior, consistent
with its exterior theme. New for 2003, the premium Renegade
model features standard power leather seats, premium
door trim panels and a new overhead vehicle information
center with customer programmable features.
While most Renegade owners will be satisfied with the
array of features that come standard with their vehicle,
manufactures have certainly provided for those people
who can never get enough. Everything from safety, performance
and comfort can be upgraded.
The new Liberty has a unique two-faced look with its
Renegade model. One side features the smooth tailoring
of refinement, while the other is pure wild abandon.
