Prado Vs Jeep Commander
Last Updated: 18 October 2009

I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the Jeep Commander.  When I first saw this model I wondered why it was so similar to the Grand Cherokee yet marketed as a separate model.  Well it turns out that the Commander is a 7 seater and the Grand Cherokee is the regular 5 seater.

The Jeep Commander is probably a better comparison to the 'smaller' Cherokee - but its not all that bigger. The Prado seats 8 people.
 

The main feature which makes the Commander desirable to some and a turn off for others is the option of two petrol V8 engines.  Everyone loves a bit of power in the engine department and the V8s have plenty - unfortunately they tend to use more petrol than any other type of engine.

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories. You should check the official Chrysler Jeep website for your country for the most up to date information.
