Jeep remains USA’s strongest SUV brand
Jeep remains the best-selling SUV brand in the in the fastest-growing U.S. market segment—and its lead is growing.
In August, Jeep had its best sales month ever. Americans bought or leased 80,804 Jeeps, giving the brand a 13.4% share of the crossover/SUV market. Sales rose 17.5% compared to August 2014, and share increased by 0.8%. The Cherokee, Compass, Patriot, and Wrangler all set new records.
Based on August and year-to-date deliveries, Jeep has three models in the top 10 in the crossover-and-SUV segment, more than any other brand. The Wrangler is still the best-selling traditional SUV, and the Grand Cherokee is the best-selling SUV in its class.
Last year at this time, Jeep was 7,090 sales ahead of second-place Ford for the month, and was 14,420 sales behind Ford for the first eight months of 2014. This year, Jeep was 11,727 sales ahead of Ford for the month, a 65% increase, and 55,477 deliveries ahead of the “blue oval” for January-August.
Industry-wide, the crossover/SUV segment continues to outpace all others. In August, sales were up 10.5% compared with 8% for pickups and declines of 6% for vans and 11% for passenger cars. Since January, cars have lost 320 basis points of their market share; and 280 of those went to crossovers and SUVs.
With fuel prices likely to remain moderate, America’s appetite for utility vehicles will probably remain strong, and it looks like Jeep will remain America’s favorite utility brand—a brand that includes popular models such as the Jeep Compass, Cherokee, and Wrangler.
