📚 Vehicle History

Brand Legacy:

Jeep, a division of Chrysler (now Stellantis), has a long-standing reputation for off-road capability and rugged SUVs.

Introduction:

The Jeep Commander XK was introduced for the 2006 model year as a new model for Jeep, positioned above the Grand Cherokee. It shared its platform (Chrysler's WK platform) with the Grand Cherokee but featured a longer wheelbase and a more upright, utilitarian design, including a distinctive three-bar grille and square headlights.

Facelift:

A minor refresh occurred for the 2008 model year, including updated exterior styling (grille, headlights), interior refinements, and the introduction of the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine as an option across more trims. The diesel engine was also updated to meet emissions standards.

Manufacturing Location:

Jefferson North Assembly Plant, Detroit, Michigan, USA.

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Off Road Recognition:

While not as dedicated as some Jeep models, the Commander XK with its 4x4 systems (especially Quadra-Drive II) and decent ground clearance offered respectable off-road capability for a family SUV.
