Welcome to the Jeep world, ladies and gentlemen. The sales balances for the first half of this 2022 were made public, and today we will delve into the model with the most sales -in the United States- of the famous factory.
The US auto market is a unit of measure in itself. Either because of its annual sales, or because of its wide range of possibilities when choosing. The catalog of the North American market is varied, since it has an extensive national industry but also dozens of brands from abroad try their luck in it.
Recently, the prestigious North American portal Car And Driver has published the official sales numbers so far in 2022. There is no better opportunity to delve into how the industry is evolving, than taking the purchases of the USA. Another great parameter for this is the Chinese market and the South Korean market.
Jeep, as you may know, is a classic North American brand of off-roaders. We have to go back to 1941 to find the first Jeep manufactured. This was for the exclusive use of the United States Army during the Second World War and was not marketed to the general public.
The truth is that, in the post-war market, Jeep found an enormous opportunity to expand throughout the vast territory of the United States. your models Wrangler, Cherokee and -more here in time- renegadethey are already icons for export of American culture. Vehicles that combine their 4×4 character with their quiet city use, therein lies jeep identity.
