Jeep Commander (06-09) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
Last Updated: 12 February 2009
Admirers of big-and-butch off-roaders will like the seven-seat Jeep Commander. Its traditional styling harks back to the rugged Jeeps of the 1970s and 1980s, while its sophisticated 4x4 system ensures that Jeep's trademark off-road dependability continues. However, on the road it's disappointing - it rolls too much, the steering is vague and it doesn't feel confident through corners. But with a light and roomy cabin plus a long standard equipment list, it is comfortable to drive - especially if you're travelling long distances on the motorway. It's not cheap to run though - even the diesel engine only manages 26mpg.

Equipment

There's a choice of two trims - Predator and Limited. Predator has ABS, ESP, tyre pressure warning light, body coloured grille and 17-inch alloy wheels but this was dropped at the end of 2007. Limited adds dual zone climate control air conditioning, cruise control, leather trimmed interior, front and rear park assist, plus a Boston Acoustics speaker system.
