Even so, our Sport started at $29,915, and with options that include a navigation system, a backup camera, a power sunroof with two rear nonopening “skylights,” a premium stereo and leather upholstery, the list price was $38,925. The test Commander was a Sport, which is the least expensive of the three models, the other two being the Limited and the luxurious Overland. Quadra-Drive II is the most sophisticated, using lots of electronic aids to maximize traction. Quadra-Trac II, which the test Commander had, is more sophisticated and has low-range gearing for off-roading. In fact, there are three four-wheel-drive systems: The simplest, and cheapest, is the basic Quadra-Trac I, which is mostly for on-road use. Transmission is a five-speed automatic.Ĭommanders have rear-wheel drive as standard, but this being a Jeep, four-wheel drive is offered. This engine will run on ethanol, if you can find an ethanol pump. The middle engine, a 4.7-liter, 235-horsepower V-8, was in the test Commander. Three engines are offered: The smallest is a 3.7-liter, 210-horsepower V-6, and the largest is a 5.7-liter, 330-horsepower Hemi V-8. Otherwise, no complaints about the Commander interior: It’s roomy, handsome and thoughtfully designed. That third row is fine for kids, pretty marginal for adults. Still, that’s enough room for that third-row seat, which really is the whole point of the Commander. Big, but not Chevrolet Suburban big, the Commander is about 2 inches longer and 4 inches taller than the Grand Cherokee, which shares a platform with the Commander. So Jeep introduced the Commander, with styling that resembles the old Cherokee.Ĭhanges for 2007 are modest, and that’s fine, because Jeep got the Commander pretty much right the first time around. The company was convinced it was losing sales to competitors who made SUVs with three rows of seats. Back in 2006, Jeep had nothing in its lineup bigger than the Grand Cherokee. This is the second model year for the Commander. Currently there’s a $3,500 rebate on the 2007 model. One of those not moving too quickly is the Commander. But that’s Jeep’s problem - and the problem of Jeep dealers trying to move them off the lot. Some would argue that Jeep has gone from having too few models to too many. And really, the four-door Wrangler Unlimited is different enough from the regular Wrangler that it could almost be considered the seventh model. Now, we have the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Liberty, plus the Compass, Patriot and Commander. It does not seem that long ago that Jeep had only three models - the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Liberty. The SUV’s 3rd-row seat is fine for kids but marginal for adults. The 2007 Jeep Commander’s interior is roomy, handsome and well-designed.
