2000-2009
El radical Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon de 2003 fue el vehículo más capaz jamás producido por la marca Jeep. El nuevo Wrangler de cuatro puertas arrasó en el sector. El Compass y el Patriot fueron los primeros vehículos de la marca Jeep en entrar en el segmento de los utilitarios pequeños.
LA GAMA DE JEEP® BRAND CRECE
La fusión de Daimler-Benz y Chrysler en 1998 empezó a mostrar los frutos de la colaboración con la introducción de varios vehículos nuevos de la marca Jeep®. En 2001, un nuevo Jeep® Cherokee (KJ) sustituyó al longevo Cherokee (XJ). En 2006 se presentó el Jeep Commander, con capacidad para siete pasajeros. En 2007 se presentaron los modelos Jeep Compass y Patriot (MK) y Jeep Wrangler y Wrangler Unlimited (JK). En 2008 se presentó un nuevo Jeep Cherokee (KK). En 2009, la empresa matriz Chrysler Group LLC firmó una alianza global con Fiat SpA.

2002-2007 JEEP® LIBERTY (KJ)
INDEPENDIENTE POR NATURALEZA

2004-2007 JEEP® WRANGLER UNLIMITED (TJ)
THE JEEP® LEGEND CONTINUES
In 2004, the Jeep® Brand offered a “stretched” version of the TJ, Wrangler Unlimited. Ten inches longer in wheelbase (103-inch) and 15 inches longer in overall length, the Unlimited offered two inches more rear leg room, more interior space, and greatly enhanced on-road handling.

The Unlimited was slightly different from the long military TJ-L model, adding five inches of rear overhang but having less space in the mid-body. The Unlimited is unofficially known by fans as the “LJ”.

The increased wheelbase offered more refined on-road comfort, as well as versatility and increased towing capacity to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

THE JEEP® BRAND LEGEND CONTINUES TO GROW
The 2006 Commander was the first seven-passenger Trail Rated® Jeep® 4x4 vehicle. Based on the ‘05 Grand Cherokee platform, the boxy Commander was only slightly longer than the WK (two inches), but a three-inches-higher stepped roofline and stadium-style seating arrangement allowed for an extra row of seats in back.

The boxy styling on the Commander—with upright windshield and squared-off sides—instantly distinguishes it from its cousin.

Basic power and drive train offerings were the same as the Grand Cherokee (WK). As with most Jeep® Brand 4x4 models, the Commander carried the Jeep Trail Rated® badge. To be Trail Rated, a vehicle must meet performance standards in traction, articulation, ground clearance, maneuverability and water fording.
