Jeep Achieves '10,000 Units Club', Strengthens Lineup with Cherokee Trailhawk and More

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Jeep, which joined the 10,000-unit club last year, is accelerating sales this year by strengthening its lineup with the Cherokee Trailhawk, Wrangler, Gladiator, and more.

According to the Korea Imported Car Association on the 6th, Jeep sold 10,251 units last year, surpassing 10,000 units in annual cumulative sales for the first time since entering the domestic market in 1992. Notably, Jeep's youngest and imported subcompact sports utility vehicle (SUV), the Renegade, sold 2,391 units, reclaiming the No. 1 spot in the B-segment SUV category and regaining its position as the best-selling model, which is significant.

Jeep has focused on expanding its customer base by implementing the 'Jeep Focus Strategy,' concentrating on the SUV brand since 2018, in line with the steady growth of the domestic SUV market. Including the Wrangler Rubicon Power Top, which was introduced for the first time in Korea last April, Jeep completed the all-new Wrangler range by launching the 2-door model and the urban-oriented Wrangler Overland model. Various new products were introduced, such as the facelifted Renegade model after four years and the Cherokee diesel model.

Additionally, as a specialized SUV brand, Jeep has established completely independent Jeep-exclusive showrooms in each region since early 2018, with 17 out of 18 showrooms now converted exclusively to Jeep. Alongside this, Jeep has conducted aggressive marketing activities, including monthly nationwide test drive events called 'Jeep Cafe Day' and Korea's largest off-road festival, 'Jeep Camp.'

In 2020, Jeep will focus on broadening the spectrum of its existing product lineup. Starting with the launch of the Renegade 1.6 Turbo Diesel, Jeep plans to strengthen its entire lineup by releasing the new Cherokee lineup, including the Trailhawk model introduced for the first time in Korea, new trims for the Wrangler lineup, and the lifestyle pickup, the all-new Jeep Gladiator.

Pablo Rosso, President of FCA Korea, said, "In response to the great support from our customers throughout the year, we will continue the reputation of the 10,000-unit club this year with various new car launches and customer events."
