About the Jeep Commander
Introduced as a larger, three-row alternative to the Grand Cherokee, the Jeep Commander (XK) is defined by its upright, slab-sided aesthetic inspired by the classic Wagoneer and Cherokee XJ. The 3.0-litre CRD variant was the primary choice for European markets, featuring a Mercedes-Benz sourced OM642 V6 engine that provided the necessary torque to move its significant mass. Inside, it features a unique 'stadium seating' arrangement where each row sits higher than the one in front, though the third row is best suited for children. While its production run was short due to the global financial crisis and internal competition, it remains a distinctive choice for those seeking a rugged, American-styled 4x4 with genuine off-road capability.

Jeep Commander fun facts
- The Commander was the first Jeep to offer three rows of seating, yet it was only two inches longer than the five-seat Grand Cherokee of the same era.
- The exterior features prominent exposed decorative bolts on the wheel arches, intended to give the vehicle a 'bolted-together' industrial look.
- Former Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne famously criticised the model after it was discontinued, calling it 'unfit for human consumption' due to its packaging compromises.
