2006 JEEP COMMANDER Using the Grand Cherokee Platform And 2006 JEEP COMMANDER Using the Grand Cherokee platform and mechanical components, engineers have developed the slightly longer Commander. It differs from the Grand Cherokee in that it has a third row of seats. The Commander comes in Base and Limited trims and with a choice of engines—a 4.7-litre V6, a 4.-litre V8, and a 5.7-litre V8 HEMI. Interior and trunk Despite its height, the Commander is easy to get into. The front seats are very comfortable, and driver’s can obtain a good driving position. The power- adjustable brake and accelerator pedals are practical but should only be adjustable when the vehicle is in PARK. The back seat accommodates two adults comfortably. Legroom and headroom are generous. The middle seat splits 40/20/40 and folds down flat, taking the two head restraints with it. Getting into the rear seat is a challenge, making it unsuitable for anyone other than small children. The 50/50 rear seatback folds flat. The liftgate opens wide to reveal an almost complete lack of storage space— if all the seats are up. Fold down the last row and storage rises from a chintzy 212 litres to a spacious 1,028. With both rear seats down, storage space goes up once again, to a full 1,940 litres. Photo: Jeep Convenience and safety The interior is well finished in good-quality materials. Soundproofing is generally good, but there is some occasional wind noise. There are also a number of handy storage areas. The instruments and hand controls are well placed and accessible; but unfortunately the cruise-control buttons on the steering wheel are not lit at night. The heater is very powerful. With the exception of three holes on either side, the side rails of the roof are closed, which is rather impractical. As well, a vehicle in this price range should have the radio antenna integrated into the windshield, instead of outside the vehicle. As far as safety is concerned, the Commander is equipped with two front airbags, two curtain airbags, traction control, six head restraints—although it seats seven—and four disc brakes with ABS. Unfortunately, the head restraints are not high enough for taller passengers. Visibility is reduced due to the wide roof pillars in the front, and there is almost no visibility to the back when the rear bench is in the upright position. In addition, the middle- seat head restraints create big blind spots when raised. What’s more, the headlights are not powerful enough. Engine and transmission It goes without saying that the Commander, with its 330 horses and 375 pounds of torque, delivers swift acceleration and pickup. The engine snaps to effortlessly, thanks to the car’s generous torque. Step on the gas and the noise of the engine takes us right back to the muscle-car era. Unfortunately, the accelerator is jerky, making for a disagreeable ride at the best of times, but particularly so in such a powerful vehicle. Gas consumption is also a drawback due to the powertrain, even when four cylinders are deactivated while cruising at steady speed, in moderate acceleration or when climbing a slight slope. According to the manufacturer, cylinder deactivation can reduce gas consumption can drop 12% to 15%. High gas consumption—19 litres/100 km—coupled with a small gas tank—only 78 litres—makes for short trips between fillups. The well-geared five-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly at all times. Two gear ratios in second makes shifting smooth and assists the engine when towing. The transfer case is easy to use. The Quadra-Drive ll system automatically splits torque 48%-52% front-to-rear but can direct 100% of available torque to any wheel. Altogether, the efficiency of the system is impressive. On the road The well-tuned suspension—firm enough without compromising comfort— gives a very smooth ride with no harshness, even on bumpy roads. Wheel travel is 33 cm which, combined with a ground clearance of 20.3 cm under the rear differential, allows the Commander to navigate even the most difficult terrain. In its class, the Commander offers a surprisingly high calibre of handling. The power steering is very well weighted, stable, precise, and relatively quick. On the other hand, it was too slow to our liking in returning to center following a sharp turn at low speed. It transfers a bit of road feel and has a short turn radius. The brakes should be more powerful, but they displayed good fade resistance after a succession of emergency stops. Our inspection at a CAA-Quebec Technical Inspection Centre revealed a generally well-built vehicle. Several exceptions include no protection against corrosion on the sturdy underbody and a large hole under the front bumper where a foreign object could enter and subsequently damage the air conditioning condenser. But, we do give the Commander a high mark for well-protected heating components in the rear. Conclusion In terms of comfort, choice of drivetrains, performance on the road, off-road capability, and quality of construction, the Commander is an appealing vehicle. On the other hand, it is not really suitable for seven passengers as the rear seat can only comfortably hold small children. As its dimensions are hardly greater than the Jeep Cherokee’s, we wonder if the Commander is really unique in its usefulness. PROS: Comfort, powerful HEMI engine, smooth transmission, road-holding, quality ride, and sturdy construction. CONS: Visibility, high fuel consumption (HEMI), inadequate third-row bench, some unlit controls, steering wheel slow to return to centre at low speeds, and weak headlights. 2006 JEEP COMMANDER Engine: 12-valve, 3.7-litre V6; 16-valve, 4.7-litre V8; 16-valve, 5.7-litre V8 Horsepower: 210 hp @ 5,200 rpm; 235 hp @ 4,500 rpm; 330 hp @ 5,000 rpm Torque: 235 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm; 305 lb-ft @ 3,600 rpm; 375 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm Transmission: 5-speed automatic Suspension: independent/solid axle Brakes: 4-wheel disc Length: 478.8 cm Width: 226.1 cm Height: 182.6 cm Wheelbase: 278.1 cm Weight: 2,309 kg Tires: P245/65R17 Towing capacity: 3,266 kg Air bags: dual front, dual side curtain Fuel consumption with V8 HEMI engine: Transport Canada rating: City: 16.5 L/100 km (17 mpg) Highway: 11.2 L/100 km (25 mpg) Test result: 19 L/100 (15 mpg) Test temperature: -14oC to 3oC Fuel tank capacity: 78 litres Fuel requirement: regular gasoline Acceleration: 0-100 km/h: 7.6 seconds 60-100 km/h: 5.5 seconds Competition: Chevrolet Trailblazer, Ford Explorer, GMC Envoy, Honda Pilot, Hummer H3, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4Runner Warranty: Full basic coverage: 3 years/60,000 km Powertrain: 5 years/100,000 km Surface corrosion: 3 years/unlimited kilometrage Perforation damage: 5 years/160,000 km Emissions control system: 3 years/60,000 km (full coverage); 8 years/130,000 km (catalytic converter and electronic control module) Factory replacement parts: Rear bumper: $1,165 (with parking assist) Brake pads: $250 Front fender: $252 Front brake disk: $85 Muffler: $588 Average insurance premium (Quebec City, replacement cost endorsement, claim-free insurance record, male or female driver 30 to 40 years old): $1,110 to $1,903 Price according to trim line: Base: $40,995 Limited: $51,195 Main options: Option packages: from $240 to $1,405 4.7-litre engine: $1,240 (Base) HEMI: $1,395 (Limited) Navigation system: $2,440 (Limited) Rear air conditioning: $575 DVD system: $1,190 (Limited) Price as tested: $55,370 Freight and preparation: $1,050 Dealers: Quebec: 156 Canada: 594 ® CAA-Quebec, November 2005.

  • 2006 Model Year Represents Leading Edge of Jeep® Product Offensive What's New for 2006: Jeep® Brand
    Contact: Jodi Tinson Kathy Graham 2006 Model Year Represents Leading Edge of Jeep® Product Offensive What's New for 2006: Jeep® Brand Jeep brand to strengthen, expand model lineup during second half of this decade All-new 2006 Jeep Commander signals brand’s commitment to remain the leader in the sport-utility market Jeep heritage built on six decades of freedom, adventure, mastery, authenticity and the capability to go anywhere, do anything August 31, 2005, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The heroic heritage of Jeep® and its sport-utility mastery stretches back more than 60 years. In 2006, the Jeep brand continues to deliver on its promise to provide rugged, versatile, innovative four-wheel drive vehicles with the launch of the all-new 2006 Jeep Commander. “The 2006 Jeep Commander signals our commitment to remain the leader in the SUV market — a market that Jeep invented more than 60 years ago,” said Jeff Bell, Vice President – Jeep, Chrysler Group. “The Jeep Commander is significant for a number of reasons. It is the first seven-passenger 4x4 that is Jeep Trail Rated, and it is the only SUV in its class to offer a choice of two V-8 engines. In addition, the Jeep Commander expands and strengthens the Jeep lineup, which consists of Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Liberty and Jeep Grand Cherokee. “And finally, the all-new 2006 Jeep Commander initiates the expansion of the Jeep vehicle lineup that will take place during the second half of this decade.” 2006 Jeep Commander In developing the 2006 Jeep Commander, designers looked to past Jeep vehicles for inspiration: the Jeep Willys Station Wagons (1946 to 1962), the Jeep Wagoneer (1963 to 1991) and especially the Jeep Cherokee (1984 to 2001).

  • The 2006 Jeep® Commander Is Engineered to Perform in Grand Style
    Contact: Dianna Gutierrez Jodi Tinson The 2006 Jeep® Commander is Engineered to Perform in Grand Style March 22, 2005, New York - From their exterior design to their interior appointments, the new 2006 Jeep® Commander and 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee are worlds apart. Underneath the two vehicles, on the other hand, their worlds come together. That’s because the 2006 Jeep Commander is equipped with the same 4x4 systems, suspension and powertrains that give the award-winning Grand Cherokee its legendary Jeep off-road capability and refined on-road driving manners. What’s more, Commander is the only SUV in its class that offers two V-8 engines. “When the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee was introduced last year, its best-in-class tractive capability and best-in- class power made it king of the full-size SUV mountain,” said Craig Love, Vice President – Rear-Wheel Drive Product Team, Chrysler Group. “Now, because of their shared underpinnings, Grand Cherokee and the new Commander occupy that same lofty space.” Commander is the first Jeep vehicle with three rows of seats, yet is only two inches longer than the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The two vehicles share the same wheelbase — 109.5 inches — meaning Commander is as maneuverable and as off-road capable as the Grand Cherokee. Three Full-time Four-wheel-drive Systems Quadra-Trac I® utilizes the NV140 single-speed transfer case to provide convenient full-time four-wheel drive with no transfer case lever to shift or driver interaction required. Quadra-Trac II® incorporates the NV245 transfer case that provides full-time active four-wheel drive, which anticipates and prevents wheel slip for optimum traction during a wide range of conditions.

  • With Classic Jeep® Design, the 2006 Jeep Commander Goes On- and Off-Road with More Size, More Seating, Safety and Security
    Contact: Dianna Gutierrez Jodi Tinson With Classic Jeep® Design, the 2006 Jeep Commander Goes On- and Off-Road with More Size, More Seating, Safety and Security August 7, 2005, Auburn Hills, Mich. - If the 2006 Jeep® Commander could talk, “more” would be its favorite word. The introduction of Commander at the New York International Auto Show in March 2005 marked the formal addition of one more Jeep model to the already strong lineup of Grand Cherokee, Liberty and Wrangler, and signals the start of a Jeep product offensive scheduled for the next two years. With an overall length of 188.5 inches and a height of nearly 72 inches, Commander is more Jeep SUV than ever before. Because Commander is the first Jeep vehicle with three rows of seats, more passengers – seven – can visit more places to enjoy its go-anywhere, do-anything capability. And Commander has more safety and security features than any previous Chrysler Group vehicle, including standard side-curtain air bags in all three rows and standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP). “Simply put, Commander is more Jeep,” said Jeff Bell, Vice President – Jeep, Chrysler Group. “With more room and more capability than other seven-passenger 4x4s, Commander offers owners an extra dose of freedom and adventure, both on- and off-road.” It doesn’t end there. The Jeep brand has been building industry-leading 4x4 vehicles for more than 60 years. To be worthy of the Jeep badge, Commander was also required to have legendary Jeep off-road capability. It does – plus on-road driving refinement – because it is equipped with the same under-the-skin components as the award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee.
