Jeep Commander
Our verdict
The Lynk & Co 09 is the better-equipped choice for most families. At AED 157,000 for the base Pro, it costs about AED 7,100 more than the Jeep Commander at AED 149,900, but you get standard AWD, a 14.6-inch screen, NAPPA leather, a panoramic roof, a 360° camera and 23 driver-assistance functions. It is also a big 5,042 mm SUV with 6 or 7 seats. Its weak points are modest fuel economy (12.6 km/L) and no blind spot detection on the Pro trim. The Halo, at AED 167,000, adds it. The Commander suits buyers who want a lower entry price, 272 HP, a Terrain Selector 4x4 system, 7 airbags and blind spot detection. However, its 10.1-inch screen and 6 speakers are more basic, and it has only one trim. Neither brand publishes warranty or boot space, so ask both dealers. Our pick is the Lynk & Co 09, ideally in Halo trim.
