Sure, its engine clatters like shaking ball bearings in a beer can. And it growls like an angry Rottweiler. The torque sometimes falls into a ditch, then comes on like a lothario in a singles bar.
But doggone it, the new Jeep Liberty diesel is an endearing little beast. Maybe it's the thought of that promise of good fuel economy, or perhaps its reputation as one of the more capable off- road SUVs. But it does grow on you, and it's an appealing addition to the Liberty lineup.

Subsequent advancements in emissions after-treatment systems and advanced fuel injection technologies have allowed the diesel engine to persevere. Automakers are busy developing next-generation diesel engines that will use fewer cylinders to produce the same power output of bigger engines.
