2009 Jeep Commander 4-DR Crash Test

[Jimmyb]

The USA federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the 2009 Commander five stars for both the driver and passenger protection in frontal crash tests. The administration has not yet conducted side crash tests on the Commander. The four-wheel-drive Commander gets a rollover rating of just three out of five stars.

The Commander offers safety features such as traction control, advanced anti-lock brakes and Electronic Roll Mitigation. The Commander has advanced multistage air bags and special cradle bars that help minimize rear impact upon collision with another vehicle.

The Jeep Commander offers more capability over rugged terrain than most drivers will ever need. It can haul up to seven people and a lot of stuff just about anywhere it can fit. It's also surprisingly refined, a fact belied by its rugged, utilitarian looks. The Commander is surprisingly smooth and spry.

As suggested by its slab-sided styling, the Commander offers utility and a roomy, airy cabin. The rear seats are progressively stepped up, theater style, giving back-seat riders a view of the road. This feeling of airiness is enhanced by a pair of glass roof panels, though the third row is best reserved for 10-year-olds.

What differences are there on this 2009 model against the 2006 - 2008 models? My 2006 diesels has been awsome but they all need more clearance from new out of the show room then they would be taken more seriously by the Jap 4X4's.
