Jeep Grand Cherokee Sales High In June

The sales numbers for the month of June have come out and to many people’s surprise, they are still going strong for the industry. One of the best success stories to come out of the sales figures, however, is from Jeep.

According to the Associate Press the Jeep Grand Cherokee saw a great sales boost in the month. SUV’s have been under some scrutiny of late due to the high cost of gas in recent months. It’s made many in the industry wonder if dark days were ahead for the vehicles with new hybrids starting to take center stage. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore with the Grand Cherokee having its best June sales since 2005. That’s a 38 percent increase this year.

The Grand Cherokee has always been a heavy fan favorite for the Jeep brand. Just last week, we wrote about the SUV getting a brand new variant in the form of the Jeep Grand Cherokee S Limited. There’s a reason why it’s the most awarded SUV ever and is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports.
