| Why Doesn't Kia Sell More Stunning Sportages? Because Sorento. |
Every auto sales observer can't get over the sales force that is the Jeep Wrangler, America's sixth-best-selling SUV in February 2013. But it's interesting to note the recent force of the two small car-like Jeeps, vehicles that are undoubtedly helped by aggressive pricing. To their credit, Jeep has also been updated both extensively since they were first introduced. In February, the Compass and Patriot combined to outsell the Wrangler by 14 units. Perspective? In January, their combined efforts trailed the Wrangler's output by 490 units. 2012's year end numbers showed the Wrangler to be 39,424-units better.
In what was a much-improved month for the (larger and more costly) Hyundai Santa Fe, the Jeep Patriot only trailed the well-regarded Hyundai by 100 sales.
As good a month as it was for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, GM fleet sales, and non-Liberty/Grand Cherokee Jeep volume, these vehicles weren't nearly as popular as the leaders of the pack. It does seem as though Wranglers are everywhere, but Ford sold 2.4 Escapes for every Wrangler sold last month.
