An upscale two-tone decor makes for an attractive interior, but there's too much hard plastic for an SUV in this price range. Slide inside the Commander's cabin and you'll find yourself enveloped in comfortable seats. All models come with a five-speed automatic transmission. Jeep also offers two sophisticated four-wheel-drive systems for those planning to take their Commanders on off-road trails, including Quadra-Drive II, which features Hill Start and Descent Assist technology. Those who choose the base model may equip it with a full-time all-wheel-drive system. The Limited model has more punch thanks to a 5.7-liter V8 (optional on Sport), which cranks out 357 hp and 389 lb-ft of torque. The base Jeep Commander Sport gets its pep from a standard 3.7-liter V6 capable of 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque, a barely adequate engine in the 4,800-pound Commander. Buyers can also snag options like a navigation system and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system. The Limited trim honeys the mix with heated leather seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable pedals, a power tailgate, satellite radio and a power sunroof with twin skylights in the second row.

The Sport comes standard with power accessories, a power driver seat, air-conditioning and a CD stereo. The three-row Jeep Commander is available in two trims: Sport and Limited. Less thrilling, however, are the Jeep Commander's lackluster interior materials, cramped third row, so-so cargo capacity and poor fuel mileage with the larger engines.


With three rows of seating and room for up to seven passengers, the Commander is the most spacious SUV Jeep has ever produced.Īlthough not quite as capable off-road as the smaller Jeeps, among SUVs in its size class the Commander is a superb trail-buster, able to tackle rock-strewn paths and steep mountain tracks without breaking a sweat. As such, Jeep's latest SUV is aptly named it possesses every inch of the go-anywhere bravado implicit in its moniker. The name Commander calls to mind images of daring swashbucklers on fearless adventures at the far corners of the earth.
