2008 Jeep Commander Overview

Introduction

The Commander is the largest production Jeep as well as the first to seat seven. Despite its extra size, the Commander still provides the same rugged off-road capability and comfort expected of the Jeep name.

Power for the Commander comes from the choice of a V-6 or two different V-8 engines. The Sport trim starts with a 210-hp 3.7-liter V6, the Limited gets a 290-hp, flex-fuel 4.7-liter V8 (optional on Sport), and the top-of-the-line Overland has a 330-hp 5.7-liter V8 Hemi (optional on Limited). A five-speed automatic transmission mates all the engines with either a two- or four-wheel drive system. Standard safety features include all-row side-curtain air bags, front-impact air bags, anti-lock brakes w/brake assist, electronic stability control w/roll mitigation and trailer sway control on models with the tow package.

For 2008, the Commander adds an all-new 4.7L V8 along with several new entertainment and safety technologies.
