#7 of 10699 Liberty diesel by jimlockey Apr 11, 2003 (8:22 pm)
According to Dieter Zetsche of Daimler Chrysler. The Liberty will get a 2.8L common rail turbodiesel produced by Daimler Chrysler AG's VM Motori subsidiary in Italy. It will be a newer version than the 2.5l diesel now used in the Liberty's European model, called the Cherokee. Zetsche says the diesel Liberty will be 30% more fuel-efficient. A manual or automatic transmission will be available and the SUV will be offered in both 2 and 4 wheel drive, but I'm not sure which version of automatic transmission will be used?

#8 of 10699 Diesel specs by diegob1 Apr 14, 2003 (10:46 pm)
greetings, as I have a Diesel Liberty 4x4 I thought I would write in... I have a 2.5 diesel 5 spd manual. The Turbo lag is enormous, but otherwise it's a fine car. I get 11,5 lt/100km (town only) and 9,2 lt/100km (highway 120km/hr) at an average speed of 80Km/hr I got 8,8 lt/100km. There is also a 2.8 - 5 speed automatic available. Both engines are identical & have intercooled turbo's. They are manufactured in Italy (Cento) by VM. This company is owned by Detroit Diesel, henceforth their appereance in Jeeps. The engines are very advanced with common rail injection & have a high torque (343Nm & 360Nm ). They are robost & require services every 20 000 Km. I hope this helps...

Thanks Diego every little bit helps. I don't know what the US Jeep dealers will require yet. Actually they don't know themselves as they don't have anything on the 2.8 diesel that we will be getting this summer.

hhhhhmmm... Using my Macverter... that comes out to about 20 to 27 miles per gallon. I guess that's better than the 15 to 20mpg they get now! The guy at the car show said September.
#11 of 10699 I am interested by deuskid May 03, 2003 (4:02 am)
I am strongly considering the Jetta TDI but am also considering the Liberty [gee, I wish there was something between the 2 sizes]. I like the idea of the continous rail technology but am wondering about the rest of the Liberty?   Is the 'non-engine' parts of the Liberty quality?   Just which engine [who makes it and where] will be in the 04 diesel Liberty?   thx
#12 of 10699 Limited availability by renoliberty May 03, 2003 (6:58 pm)
You do know that only about 5000 diesel Liberties are supposed to be available the first year it is offered or at least that was the word some months ago.

DCX has stated that ten thousand will be sold here as test mules to see if America will accept them.
#15 of 10699 Autoweek said only 5K by renoliberty May 06, 2003 (12:20 am)
"The Chrysler group on Monday, Nov. 25, said it would proceed with a 5,000-unit run of Liberty diesels after concluding that gasoline-electric hybrid technology is too expensive. There are 3,309 Chrysler-Jeep dealers in the United States and Canada, according to the automaker."                           -- Autoweek, Dec. 02, 2002   Not quite two per dealer! Shouldn't be easy to get one. So is there new info on the production run since then?
#16 of 10699 My source... by colorado1974 May 06, 2003 (12:02 pm)
My dealership contact at Chrysler stated that after receiving enormous positive feedback after the first public announcement, they bumped that figure to 10,000 units. I know I already have 10 people waiting in line ready to put a deposit down.
