With seven people on board, Commander has 170 litres of luggage space. All three second-row seatbacks can be folded onto the cushions to form a flat load area. The second-row 40/20/40 split seats are engineered so the outer sections fold down and tumble forward to allow passengers entry or exit from the third row on either side of the vehicle. The second-row seats are mounted 117 mm higher than the front row, and third row seats are 120 mm higher than the second row - to ensure a better view for all passengers. The Commander's "theatre-style" seating enhances the functionality of its three-row, seven-passenger layout. On this model you even get a DVD player with a drop-down screen for the rear passengers as a standard feature.īut we do question Jeep's specification level for the entry-level 4.7-litre model because leather isn't a standard (or even optional) feature for a vehicle with a price tag of close to R400k.Īnd if you do transport seven people the Commander's stepped roof provides second- and third-row occupants with plenty of head room. The top of the range Limited model features a host of nice touches such as a front-mounted sun roof as well as innovative skylights for the second row of seats. In general both models are well-equipped to ensure a luxury ride for all seven passengers. Jeep also says that a turbodiesel model could join the line-up in 2007.ĭespite the Commander's rugged looks luxury is still the name of the game as it comes with all the bells and whistles expected of a top notch SUV. The South African engine range include a 4.7-litre V8 and the Commander Limited comes with the Chrysler 300C's 5.7-litre HEMI V8. Of course as a Yank truck you expect some serious muscle power too, and the Commander doesn't disappoint. The Commander definitely reminds of the old Jeeps such as the Wagoneer, which was the forerunner for the Grand Cherokee.
