The Jeep Commander, unveiled in 2005 as a 2006 model, marked Jeep’s bold step into the three-row SUV market. Taller and longer than the Jeep Cherokee, it was the second-largest mass-produced Jeep at the time of its release. Despite the early concept reveal in 1999, the 2006 Commander was a fresh design, unrelated to the original concept. This model was Jeep’s first to offer 3-row seating, accommodating up to seven passengers, expanding the brand’s lineup to meet growing family and utility demands.
Built on the same platform as the Jeep Cherokee, the Commander shared its unibody construction, independent front suspension, wheelbase, and track. The SUV was available in two trim levels - Base and Limited - with options for either 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrain systems, catering to a variety of driving preferences and terrains.
Design-wise, the Commander stayed true to Jeep’s signature style, featuring the iconic 7-slot grille, boxy body lines, and flat surfaces, making it instantly recognizable on the road. Under the hood, the Base model came with a 3.7-liter V6 engine producing 210 horsepower, while the Limited trim offered a 4.7-liter V8 with 235 horsepower. For those seeking more power, a 5.7-liter V8 engine with 330 horsepower was available as an option. All engines were paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, balancing performance with reliability.
Safety was a priority for the Commander, which came equipped with four-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability control, and side curtain airbags, ensuring peace of mind for all passengers.
Although the Jeep Commander’s production run was relatively short, lasting only five years until 2010, it left a mark as Jeep’s first three-row SUV, paving the way for future family-oriented Jeep models.
