Jeep Cherokee Drives Best November Since Recession!

The sales figures for Chrysler in the month of November were a very good sign for the continued growth of the company.  The growth overall was 16 percent over last year’s.  The reason for the growth can be attributed to a new vehicle that Chrysler put out this year, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee.

The sales in November were much higher than anticipated.  Analysts had put the expectations of sales at a lower marker than what ended up happening.  The final figures turned out to be the best November since before the recession, back in 2007.

The new Jeep Cherokee helped pushed Jeep’s numbers to a record high as well.  The Cherokee was very popular with critics and the public.  Sales were up 30 percent from last year.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee comes with a 2.4-Liter Tigershark engine with class-exclusive nine-speed transmission.  It also comes equipped with the popular Uconnect system as well.

Jeep Starts the New Year Strong!

Untitled“In late 2009, we set out on a course to quickly renew our entire vehicle lineup, with a focus on legendary Jeep capability combined with improved on-road driving dynamics, fuel efficiency, and world-class craftsmanship. Clearly customers have appreciated the unique combination of attributes that Jeep vehicles offer.”

That was what Mike Manley, the President and CEO of Jeep Brand had to say about the news that greeted him into the new year. It’s already been known that Chrysler had a stellar year in 2012, out doing all the other major auto makers. The one brand name under Chrysler that really exceeded the rest, however, was Jeep. The mission that Manley set out to accomplish in the bleak years following the down turn of the economy and fall of the auto industry seem to have paid off if 2012 is an indicator of things to come.

Jeep vehicle sales increased 19 percent globally in 2012 over the previous year. That’s higher than the sales high they enjoyed back in 1999 which is also their record for global sales. The Jeep Grand Cherokee in particular is a standout. Already the most award SUV ever, its sales in the US total 154, 734. The best it’s had since 2005. Wrangler came in right behind it, and the Jeep Compass next.

The future is bright still for the upcoming year. Jeep is putting resources into making sure that this is just the start of things to come. Manley continues to explain why it’s wise to keep your eyes on them in 2013, “We expect to continue our sales momentum in 2013 with the introduction of an all-new mid-size Jeep SUV, as well as the new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which will be available with a new, clean-diesel engine.”
