The production version of Yuntu Concept SUV was expected to debut at the 2018 Beijing auto show in April 2018. But it was recently leaked online, courtesy of media websites in China.

The new Jeep Grand Commander will be a 7-seater SUV for the China market set to makes its debut at the 2018 Beijing auto show in April, the SUV was previewed by the Yuntu Concept, first displayed in 2017 at the Shanghai motor show.

Images reveal that Jeep will offer the Grand Commander in two trims – Longitude and Limited – and the it will be offered in front-wheel- and four-wheel-drive options. The higher-spec Limited variant also possess chrome inserts along the window frames, front bumper and side sills to differentiate between the two trims.

While the Yuntu Concept showcased earlier was a six-seater, the production-spec Grand Commander is meant to be a proper seven-seater.

Power will be delivered by the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder, turbo-petrol mill that makes 270hp and 400Nm as of the Wrangler

Re: Jeep Grand Commander Leaked

Looking at the pictures, I first thought it was the Chinese rendition of the Compass.

Interesting that Mahindra also used to call the people carrier version of its Jeep the Commander. It had bench seats instead of the third row and could seat 10.

It will be a proper 7-seater SUV with three row seats.

Re: Jeep Grand Commander Leaked

It should be an apt vehicle for India if priced significantly lower than Skoda Kodiaq and similar to Innova. Anyone has info on an India launch?

Look at the specs, there is no chance that this would be cheaper than a Kodiaq.
It looks like it would compete with X3 and the like.

Re: Jeep Grand Commander Leaked

This car looks very similar to the VW Atlas (USA), or the Teramont (China, Middle East).

Maybe they share a platform?

Re: Jeep Grand Commander Leaked

I see this non-camo'd proto of the Grand Commander driving around town. by segment, it is competing with the VW Atlas but then, in reality, it is pretty much the same size as my Kia Sorento. I parked my car next to it to check.

I guess this safari park exercise is a teaser. Jeep was to get into the pseudo SUV MPV market.

Not really. It was one of their employees taking his entire family of 6 on a Sunday joyride in company fleet car. Apart of haul-ability of 6 burly Indians, there was nothing else being tested. No Telemetry equipment even.

There are 100's of these running around all over metro Detroit area with 'M' plates which stands for manufacturer.

Expecting a Jeep SUV that's potentially 1.5 or 2 times larger than the Compass - to be cheaper than the Compass - is frankly laughable!

I would expect the Grand Commander to be at least 40 lakh on the road, if not more, assuming it does make it to the Country.
