Outside North America, the Jeep Liberty was marketed under what model name?

Outside North America, the Jeep Liberty was marketed as the Jeep Cherokee.

Jeep introduced the Liberty for the 2002 model year as a replacement for the Cherokee XJ in North America. Because the Cherokee name had strong recognition in international markets, Jeep retained that name abroad rather than using Liberty. Both Liberty generations—KJ and KK—were sold outside North America as Cherokee models.

The first-generation KJ was introduced in 2001 and produced through 2007. The redesigned KK followed for the 2008 model year and remained in production until 2012. International examples could therefore be badged Jeep Cherokee KJ or Jeep Cherokee KK, depending on generation.

This naming arrangement can be confusing because “Jeep Cherokee” also refers to several distinct generations, including the famous XJ and the later KL crossover. The Liberty was not the Patriot, Compass, or Commander; those were separate Jeep models. In North America, the Liberty name was used from 2002 through 2012 before the Cherokee name returned for the KL generation.
