For those of you that have been considering a new Jeep Liberty or Grand Cherokee for 2008, here is some good news.  They have both ranked very high in terms of safety.  I personally am glad to hear this as my next vehicle is most likely going to be a Grand Cherokee.  I must admit, it won't be taken off-road since it will be the family vehicle (There's no way I'm buying a mini-van), but at least it's a Jeep right?  I'll still have my CJ-7 for playing with.  And I don't have to worry about scratching that.  Anyway, here is what chrysler had to say about the Liberty and Grand Cherokee.

2008 Jeep Liberty
The 2008 Jeep Liberty is equipped with 35 safety and security features including the company’s side-occupant protection system. The system includes supplemental side-curtain air bags with extended up time, tethers and multiple sensors in case of a rollover.  Adding to the mid-size SUV’s long list of standard safety and security features are Electronic Stability Program, Electronic Roll Mitigation, anti-lock brake system, tire pressure monitoring (TPM), rain-sensing wipers and three new technologies — Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control. 

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers technologies such as electronic limited slip differentials and Electronic Stability Program that help to contribute to the vehicle’s on-road and off-road dynamics. Advanced multistage front and supplemental side curtain air bags, tire pressure monitoring system, ParkView™ Rear Back-up Camera (with or without navigation), ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System, SmartBeam® headlamps, high-intensity discharge headlamps and rain-sensing wipers offer the latest innovation in occupant protection, safety and security on the road.  The Jeep Grand Cherokee also features three new safety and security technologies for 2008 — Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control.
