A big 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is the top choice of three engine variants, offering quick acceleration on paved surfaces.

As for switches and controls, the Commander is an ergonomic delight. All the gauges are easy to read and the controls are simple to use and identify.

What reviewers liked least about the Jeep Commander:

...no matter which motor you choose, fuel economy is an oxymoron with the Commander.

-- AutoSite.com

Fold all the seats and the Commander features a disappointing 68.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, besting the Grand Cherokee by just 1.5 cubes.

-- AutoSite.com

Indeed, when all seven seats in the Commander are in use, there's just a narrow stretch of cargo space right up against the rear tailgate. It's enough for a few grocery bags or a couple normal-sized suitcases. The rest of your stuff has to go on the roof.

Best one-liner about the Jeep Commander:

We summed it up as a 5000-plus-pound Jeep Grand Cherokee with theater seating.

Nobody will ever call this SUV cute.
