Jeep Commander
With a name like the Commander, you expect this model of Jeep to be gargantuan in size and off-road capability. It doesn’t disappoint and is simply monstrous to behold. With its traditional styling, 7 seats and incredibly well equipped trim levels, the Commander is a spacious, comfortable and practical was to experience the great outdoors. As far as SUVs go, this one is worth a look above many others.
Originally released in 2006, the Jeep enjoyed a good run and some impressive sales figures, especially in the USA, that ended in 2010. Available in several trim levels, the Commander was one of the hardiest 4 door SUVs around, and still makes some modern versions look rather ‘wimpish’.
The Commander might look rather boxy and certainly has an ‘in your face’ attitude about it, but really it’s a big softy. The iconic front grille, big wheels and a decidedly rugged appearance certainly make it stand out to people who can look beyond its titanic size. Head inside and you’ll discover a cavernous interior that’s got more than enough for 5 adults and 2 children to sit in total comfort. A high driving position means you’ll literally tower above anything else on the road, and a well laid out cockpit means the vast array of kit comes to hand easily.
In all honesty, the Jeep isn’t that strong on normal roads because it’s big and the steering lacks precision; it is competent at low speeds though. But none of that matters. You don’t buy a tank and expect to compete in the Monaco Grand Prix. The Commander was built to dominate off-road, that that’s exactly what it does with a superb 4x4 system that’s an integral part of the brand’s DNA. Dirt tracks, rivers, rocky surfaces and even sand dunes- all of them can be beaten down by this epic 4 wheel drive machine. If you’re going into the wilds, you’d want this car with you.
Despite the fact it was reasonably priced when it was in production, there are some amazing bargains to be had nowadays. With a staggering number of used cars for sale listed right here at Motors.co.uk, finding a cheap used Jeep Commander should be no problem at all. Not only will you pay much less due to some astounding price discounts, but quality is high too. It’s the best way to get your hands on this powerhouse.
All things considered, the Jeep Commander is a monumentally good 4x4. It laughs in the face of pretty much all elements and terrains, but is adequate on the tarmac too. The fact it has a serious amount of cabin space, 7 seats and no shortage of equipment means it’s actually comfortable and practical too. If you’re looking for a big car to accommodate a large family and a penchant for exploration and adventure, this is without doubt one of the first to check out.
