Drivers who require an SUV with extra traction as well as a spacious interior and an extensive list of standard features can opt for the 2008 Jeep Commander Sport 4WD. It comes equipped with the Quadra-Trac I full-time four-wheel-drive system and a new four-wheel Brake Traction Control system. Standard features like antilock brakes, an Electronic Stability Program, and Brake Assist, as well as rack-and-pinion steering, help improve the Commander Sport's stability, traction, and handling.

A 210-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6 engine powers the Commander Sport 4WD, although some drivers and reviewers note that acceleration suffers with the V6, due in part to the Commander's weight. The engine links to a five-speed automatic transmission, designed for smooth shifting and fuel efficiency.

The Commander Sport 4WD comes with all the expected standard features, like remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with an MP3 input jack. But it's also equipped with a number of not-so-expected standard features, including Sirius satellite radio, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, side curtain airbags, powered and heated fold-away mirrors, and an enhanced accident-response system.

The Commander Sport 4WD does not come with a third-row seat for seven-passenger seating. However, the second-row seats fold flat to provide additional cargo space.
