2006 Jeep Commander Overview

Introduction

The Jeep Commander offers a capability no Jeep has had before: three-row seating and the ability to carry seven passengers. Equipped with a higher level of safety and security features than any previous Jeep, the Commander represents the first salvo in Jeep's upcoming product offensive.

The Commander comes in two models, the Jeep Commander, and the Commander Limited. Two-wheel drive is standard, but 4WD is available for both the base model and the Limited. The base model Jeep Commander comes standard with a 3.7-liter SOHC V6, rated at 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. The V6 is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission designed to balance performance and fuel economy. On 4WD models, the standard system is Jeep's Quadra-Trac I, which is an automatic full-time all-wheel-drive system enhanced by electronic traction control. The optional 5.7-liter Hemi V8, producing 330 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque, is available with fuel-saving Multi-Displacement System technology, which shuts down cylinders as the opportunity arises under light load conditions.

The Jeep Commander is all new for 2006.
