Jeep Liberty test drive since 2007 SUV

Small interior update Jeep Liberty

The new interior definitely does not solve all the marketing problems of Jeep Liberty. But with him is still much better ... For a long time, Chrysler experts promised to at least somehow stir up the space inside their crossover.

In the automobile press, they constantly reproached with American, a primitive, rude, unpleasant to the touch, a nasty-looking plastic of the Kraisler salon. But only when a wave of indignation rose among the buyers, did the case move out of the dead point. The first thing the Americans intended to do with the interior was to paint it in dark tones, as they look more profitable. So it happened. Finally, Jeep Liberty got rid of the color scheme of the children's clinic, which does not create comfort and harmony.

The second blow of the designers fell on the quadrature of forms. The rim of the dashboard, ducts and lines of the central console became rounded. So, having played with color and shape, it was possible to turn the interior into something more blessed than before. Well, in comparison with Japanese and Korean competitors, the interior still looks flawed. Yes, it is no longer a shame for him, but no more.

WHO AM I? WHY AM I?
Jeep Liberty prices start at 1,270,000 rubles. For that kind of money, I would like to get not only all -wheel drive and a pleasant situation in the cabin. How to decorate the dull days of the American crossover? Now his appearance is reminiscent of an off -wing Cheburashka, and the interior is finished in a state apartment for the waiting list. For some reason, Chrysler did not have the courage, inspiration, creative forces to blow up the insides of the crossover, splash emotions. What is it? Fear of marketing failure or a desire to save to the maximum?


A full -fledged spare wheel is located under the floor of the trunk


There are no problems with eyes. Jeep still ...

It looks like this is an old game of family transport. Jeep Liberty is trying to be attractive to conservative consumers. But it turns out badly. The trunk is busy with a spare wheel, which makes it smaller than that of a car: bicycles with strollers will clearly not fit. The back row is too cramped to write thick relatives into it. The glove compartment in the cabin is a mocking kurgazy pack of diapers and two -liter bottles will remain overboard. According to all the features of family values, the jeep is lacking. And I confidently declare: Chrysler got lost in marketing wilds. Jeep Liberty has lost self -identification, and this problem cannot be solved by a darker and rounded interior.
