Model overview

The Jeep Commander is a full-size SUV that was produced from 2005 through 2010 by the Jeep division of the American carmaker Chrysler.

The production variant of the Jeep Commander (XK and the diesel XH variant) was launched in 2005 at the New York Auto Show as an equivalent to the third generation Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was designed to target customers who needed a three-rows-of-seats SUV. It was based on the same platform as the Grand Cherokee and is similar in design to the GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT. This allowed the second and third-row places to be installed upper than the first-row seats.

The Jeep Commander comes in two trim levels: Sport and Limited. The Sport is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 that generates 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. A 5.7-liter V8 is by default on Limited trims and possible as an option on the Sport. This engine has a total output of 357 hp and 389 lb-ft of torque. Both powertrains are mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.
