2009- Jeep Commander : The Luxury Cars

This model is doomed, since it has been taken out of Jeep's line-up. Nonetheless, it is still available at some dealers and might attract people who want to ride a Jeep and need to carry seven people. Its box-like body is the opposite of subtlety. But the Commander has the same off-road handling qualities found in the Grand Cherokee, as they share the same platform and mechanical elements.
The Commander will likely be nixed after the 2009 model year due slow sales and a high sticker. Competition between vehicles within the same brand is never a good thing, and it seems that the Commander may have cut into sales of Jeep's similarly sized 'ute, the Grand Cherokee.
Since Edmunds.com is claiming that potential buyers of the Commander were being offered up to $8,000 in incentives towards the end of 2006, the German-American hybrid may have seen the writing on the wall. Considering that the Commander has always been in a somewhat odd segment, falling between the Grand Cherokee and full-size SUVs, it would seem that this experimental niche was a gamble that didn't pay off.
