In December, Jeep sales rose 47.8% in Europe while the industry declined 5.8%.
“The increase in Jeep sales in Europe is evidence that Chrysler Group’s integration with the Fiat Group is clearly working,” said Jeep brand chief Mike Manley.
“Much of the Jeep brand’s success in Europe can be attributed to a strengthened dealer network, as well as a rollout of new models for the European market – including the incorporation of Fiat’s fuel- and emissions-saving MultiJet II technology on the new three-litre CRD engine that powers the Grand Cherokee.”
Jeep brand sales rose 44% in the US in 2011 and 41% globally.
