The Jeep Grand Commander is the big brother of Grand Cherokee, but, as far as the dimensions go, it is 50mm longer, 100mm shorter and about 50mm narrower. However, Jeep has managed to extract more space inside the Grand Commander considering the fact that it can sit 7 passengers in its three-row configuration. Design cues also are taken from the current Grand Cherokee, but with a heavy touch of luxury and premium feel. Up front, the Jeep Grand Commander gets a larger iteration of its signature seven-slat grille, and loses the headlight design to a much sleeker wraparound design. At the rear, the Grand Commander gets slimmer rear tail lamps and features a more distinct curve on the third row window.
