The Jeep Commander (XK) is a mid-sized SUV introduced in 2006. It was first introduced at the 2005 New York Auto Show. It is a 7-passenger SUV and is just 2 inches longer than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has much more boxy styling, with an upright windshield and squared-off sides. The roof is stepped for the second and third-row seats (which are mounted higher than the first-row seats), but is disguised, as on the GMC Envoy XL, by a roof rack. It also features three moonroofs. It fills Jeep's large SUV gap since the discontinuation of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer in 1992.

Jeep is the third company to produce a vehicle called the Commander, after the Studebaker Commander and the Scammell Commander.

Supposedly, the Jeep Wagoneer was the Commander's initial inspiration, this may be evident as its exterior resembles the styling. Although its design is very square-like, the Commander's basic platform is based off of the third generation Grand Cherokee.

The Commander offers a base V6 engine with two optional V8s including the new Hemi:

3.7 L PowerTech V6
4.7 L PowerTech V8
5.7 L Hemi V8

In Europe, The Commander offer a V6 Diesel engine developed by DaimlerChrysler with BlueTec technology:

3.0 L CRD V6 Turbo Diesel, 160 kW (218 hp DIN) and 510 N·m (376 ft·lbf)
