Jeep sales way up, Chrysler’s best November since 2000.
Chrysler sales rose 3% last month in what could be a record November for U.S. auto sales. It was Chrysler’s best November since 2000, with 175,974 vehicles sold.
Jeep sales jumped 20% for the month, with Jeep Compass posting a sales gain of 19%, Patriot 11%, Cherokee 3%, and Wrangler 2%. All were the best November sales ever, and came in a November with two fewer selling days than 2014.
The company’s Jeep brand sold 68,903 units during the month. Jeep has now set a sales record for 26 consecutive months. Jeep Compass sold 4,886 units, up 19% year over year, for the largest monthly percentage gain of any Jeep-branded vehicle.
Ram pickup sales rose 2% in November to 36,407 units, after posting a sales gain of 3% year over in October. Last year, Ram sold 35,865 pickups in November. For the year to date, Ram pickup sales are up 3% to 407,981 units and total brand sales are up 5% to 443,344 units. Ram brands had their best November sales since 2003.
Year to date, Chrysler 200 sales are up 67% and sales of Chrysler-branded vehicles are up 8%.
On the Dodge side, the Caravan was the best-selling Dodge brand of the month.
Black Friday promotions, some of which began well before Thanksgiving, were expected to push last month's sales to near-record levels. Car buying site Edmunds.com predicted sales of new cars and trucks will hit 1.33 million, eclipsing the previous November record set in 2001.
