Previewed by the Jeep Yuntu Concept, the Grand Commander debuted in April 2018 at the Beijing Auto Show and was launched on the Chinese car market in May 2018.[1][2] Pricing of the Grand Commander ranges from 239,900 to 330,800 yuan ($36,000 – 52,580).[3] Manufactured by the GAC Fiat joint venture, the Grand Commander will be positioned above the locally made Jeep Cherokee compact CUV. A 5-seater version is also available as the Jeep Commander.

Despite its appearance and name, the Jeep Grand Commander will not be sold as a successor to the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander XK. The Grand Commander is exclusive to the Chinese market. North America will get a successor to the Jeep Commander XK that will be based on the full-size Ram Truck, and is slated to be named the Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

The Grand Commander debuts with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The power is sent to either the front wheels or all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission.[4]

The Grand Commander PHEV is Jeep's first electric vehicle product in China. The Grand Commander PHEV is fitted with Fiat Chrysler’s 2.0-liter turbocharged GME-T4 gasoline engine and two electric motors capable of driving the vehicle up to 900 kilometers (560 miles) with fuel economy of 1.6 liters per 100 km. The plug-in hybrid vehicle features a 13 kWh lithium-ion battery pack stored underneath the floor, and can be fully recharged in two hours using a 220V 30A charging station and the 6.6 kWh on-board charger. 8 hours are need to fully charge the vehicle using the standard charging equipment that comes with the vehicle. Four E-drive modes including Hybrid, Electric, E-Save and Sport are available and selection could be done via a rotary switch in the center console. Hybrid mode is default, while Electric limits top speed to 125 km/h (77 mph) and saves gas for later use. The E-Save mode maintains battery, while Sport mode produces maximum output.[5] According to GAC-FCA, the Grand Commander PHEV has a range of 70 km (43 miles) on one charge when powered by batteries only.[6]
