The Jeep Commander is a full-size SUV and is the first Jeep with 7-passenger seating. Wrapped in an exterior package that looks remarkably like the original Jeep Cherokee, the Commander is two inches longer than the Grand Cherokee but shares the same wheelbase. Characterized by an upright windshield, vertical back glass and straight sides, the Commander’s shape is very square and is capped off with the signature Jeep seven-slot grille. Inside, the Commander offers stadium seating, a stepped roof for adequate headroom and Command-View skylights for additional interior lighting. Also a two-tone instrument panel with four round gauges is unique to the Commander. For 2007 Jeep changes the base Commander name to Commander Sport and adds the Overland version to the lineup

The 2008 Jeep Commander adds more interior and safety features to its lineup with a number of package options. New equipment include a tilt and telescoping steering column with integrated Electronic Vehicle Information Center controls on steering wheel, 115V power inverter, MP3 interface, MgGIG Multimedia Infotainment System with navigation, SIRIUS Backseat TV and an 8-inch DVD screen with rear video entertainment system. A two-row, five-passenger seating option is standard on the Sport R package. A number of new safety features include Hill Descent Control System, Hill Start Assist, ParkView Rear Backup Camera and a Trailer Say Control System.
