Starting work on this SUV, the Jeep concern was assumed to name the genius of Grand Wagoneer. Testing the car passed under the code name yk. However, subsequently received the majestic name Commander.
His debut took place in April 2005 at the Motor Show in New York. The car is designed to strengthen and expand the existing the lineup Jeep consisting of Wrangler, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee.
The creators awarded Commander in unique, recognizable appearance and high technical characteristics. It is designed on the platform new Grand. Cherokee, respectively, the basic design of models is similar - Uniframe Body (carrying with an integrated frame), an independent double-permercial front suspension and a rigid five-dimensional rear axle.
Working on the exterior, designers did not forget about the unshakable traditions of the Jeep brand. As befits a car with "army" roots Commander received straight lines, chopped shapes and flat, almost vertical body surfaces. Even the housing of the side of the side view is made by massive and "square". The appearance of Commander seems to be simultaneously new and already familiar. The front view immediately allows you to recognize the approaching Jeep. The front headlights still look all the corporate and the strict grill of the radiator with the seven slots have long become a family line of the legendary brand.
Interestingly, the car looks behind. Many parts merge into one picture, which can be called new for Jeep cars. Chrome nameplates, plastic rivets on the window rear doorThe roof of the roof rails are successfully combined, creating a new image for a new model.
The SUV looks massive and monumental, but it also weighs 2361 kg.

Due to the almost vertical windshield and the increased height of the body in the cabin, it was possible to place three rows of seats, and they are accommodated by an amphitheater, that is, the passengers of the third row are presented above all, which preview is presented. For greater convenience of landing on the second and third row of seats, the roof is performed by a ledge. Armchairs of all passengers are comfortable and provide good lateral support.
The interior is quite discreet. Simple, but functional deflectors are surrounded by the main find of designers - decorative rivets in the amount of 16 pieces. They also surround the new "Jeep" emblem. Dashboard It is also extremely simple and functional as everything else around it.
