	The Jeep Commander was first introduced at the 2005 [[New York International Auto Show|New York Auto Show]]. And it was sold as a 5 or 7-passenger counterpart to the third generation [[Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK)|Jeep Grand Cherokee]], with the initial inspiration coming from the [[Jeep Grand Wagoneer]]. It shared its [[Unit-body construction|uniframe]] construction, independent [[Short long arms suspension|short/long arm]] front suspension and its [[multilink suspension|5-link]] [[live axle|live]] rear axle with the Grand Cherokee on which it was based. However, It featured a more box-like appearance, with an upright windshield and squared-off sides; it more closely resembled the discontinued [[Jeep Cherokee (XJ)]], as well as the second generation [[Jeep Liberty (KK)|Jeep Liberty/Cherokee]]. Another notable attribute was its stepped roof which was cleverly disguised by the roof rack; similar to the [[GMC Envoy|GMC Envoy XL]] and [[Chevrolet TrailBlazer|Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT]]. This allowed the second and third-row seats to be mounted higher than the first-row seats.
