They have hybrids due out soon and I understand they will get about 30 mpg. What does a deisel Jeep get for mileage?
I have no interest in gasoline-electric hybrids, either. They're mostly hype, and are unproven, long-term. They're most suited for city use.
The Liberty CRD gets 21/27. Unlike other compact SUVs, the Liberty is a heavy, off-road-capable vehicle.
