The Jeep Commander made its debut in 2005. The event was held in New York at the Annual Car Parade. It is fair to say Jeep had a surprise package. First of all, the departure from conventional Jeep designs was noticeable in the new Commander. Not only does the Commander look different from its predecessor, the Grand Cherokee. The Commander provides more seating than the Grand Cherokee. Jeep is working hard to please its consumers. Todays car buyers have a lot of choice. There are a lot of competitors in seven-seat vehicles. Performance and looks are more important. It pays very well to fuse these two qualities. Especially on seven-seat vehicles. On the overall, customers will not be disappointed in the Jeep Commander. Coincidentally; the name 'Commander' is common among seven-seat car manufacturers. Maybe it sells. Jeep is excited with its Jeep Commander vehicle. It remains to be seen how the Commander will perform against other SUVs. The Commander is also expected to perform better than its past models. The improvement in passenger space makes it unique. If this improvement translates into increased sales, Jeep will fulfil its mission. The Commander shares its name with two past models, the Studebaker Commander and the Scammell Commander. The Jeep Commander provides ample space for passengers. Passengers can sit comfortably because there is enough leg space. The Commander's moon roof is easily noticeable from afar. The vehicle has a box-like shape which is not all that rugged, because the edges are not sharp. The Jeep Commander was born as a result of past experiences and today's needs. Past models from Jeep have influenced its design. Although its current design is way much different, there are small features from past models. The external design reminds someone of the long forgotten Jeep Wagoner. Obviously, the Grand Cherokee was the source of its inspiration. This is so, because the Commander was developed immediately after the Grand Cherokee. We haven't started discussing the Jeep Commander, until we talk about engine power. The Commander comes with three choices of engines. These are the V6 and two types of V8 engines. The first V8 engine has a capacity of 5. 7 liters. The second V8 engine has a capacity of 3. 7 liters. This engine package is convenient for different types of consumers. Types of drivers ranging from speed maniacs, rough terrain travellers and luggage packers will find it easy to select the proper engine. A note to speed lovers, the Commander is not made for speed though. Frequent travellers like SUVs. The size of the Jeep Commander is unlike any known SUV. If you are travelling with family, you will find this vehicle convenient. Teams and groups of travellers will fit quite well in this seven seater vehicle. More so if you are going for an outdoor expedition or game park. The Commander can traverse sandy plains, rocky trail roads, and muddy roads. The Jeep Commander has not broken a record. The critics say. True, there is no new feature on the Commander, but it has succeeded in bringing affordability, economy, style and comfort on one plate. There is a market for this kind of vehicle, especially in this recession. A lot of SUVs on the market do not provide this convenience. The Commander came late on the scene. Jeep explains that the delay was due to specific refinements. Refinements on capacity and passenger seating. Sure, its hard to provide comfort on a seven passenger seat vehicle, but Jeep succeeded in this regard. SUV fans and consumers are enthusiastic about the next generation of Jeep Commanders. The Commander makers have one thing to brag about. The capacity of the Commander. No SUV can beat the Commander in this regard. At the same, they know that the Commander is not a vehicle that causes envy. It is such a simple vehicle with standard features. Rival SUVs boast of advanced features that put them ahead of the competition. Jeep has begun to modify the Commander, slowly but surely. The Jeep Commander Overland has been furnished with platinum plating. Its side moulds, side roof, rear assist and grilles are all platinum. A power lift gate has been introduced as well. The Jeep Commander made disappointing sales in the year 2007. What was the reason? Was it lagging behind in advanced features? Maybe the consumers were looking for something better than the Commander? Overall sales of the Jeep range increased by 8%. Sales reports for February 2007 show an increase in sales for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Compass. These were the biggest earners of the company. The Jeep Wrangler had a massive 63% increase in sales, followed behind by the Jeep Compass which sold more than 4000 units. The bad performers were the Commander, the Jeep Liberty and the Grand Cherokee. Sales for the Liberty went down a whopping 41%. The Commander sales went down by 24% and the Grand Cherokee by 22%.
