Chrysler Group today announced U.S. pricing for its all-new 2006 Jeep®

product offensive scheduled for the next couple of years.
The base Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the all-new
Jeep Commander is $27,985, including $695 destination. The Jeep Commander
will begin to arrive in dealerships later this summer.
“As the most capable seven-passenger vehicle in the market,

SUV competitors,” said Jeff Bell, Vice President – Jeep.
“Basically, Commander offers more Jeep at an incredible value

capability for under $30,000.”

V-8 engines, including the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with the Multi-displacement
System (MDS).
Chrysler Group’s strides in manufacturing efficiency, quality improvements
and the discipline of its Chrysler Development System (CDS) for product
development have allowed the Company to consistently introduce lower priced,
all-new models with more content into the marketplace. The Chrysler Group
has improved its overall manufacturing productivity by an industry leading
19 percent over the last three years, according to the Harbour Report
North America 2005.
