'05 Liberty Renegade Gets FIRST Midsize SUV Diesel Engine!!
'05 Liberty Renegade gets first Midsize SUV Diesel Engine for the US and Canadian markets. It will be available on both Sport and Limited models.
The 2.8 L CRD (Common Rail Diesel) engine is rated at an estimated 160hp at 3,800 RPM and with 295 lb-ft at 1,800 RPM, which should provide EXCELLENT performance and towing ability.
Diesel Engines improve the fuel economy an average of 25% and reducing CO2 emissions by an average of 20%.
Pretty cool... way to go Jeep for making the first move!

I rented a Grand Cherokee Diesel in Germany last year. Very nice to drive! Nothing like the VW Touareg V10 Turbo Diesel though: 310hp and 550lb-ft!![sm=tongue.gif]
