Record sales for the New Generation Jeep Wrangler JL
The arrival of the new JL generation of the Jeep Wrangler to the market has been a success, linking two consecutive months of record sales, although in part it is due to the presence of the two generations of the model in dealerships.
The new JL generation Jeep Wrangler was unveiled late last year, but it wasn't until the first quarter of 2018 that it hit the market, and with unprecedented success. Not only the Jeep Wrangler JL hot sale, but also the accessories Jeep Wrangler led headlights hot sale too.
As a general rule, the monthly sales figure of the Wrangler in the United States is usually around 15,000 to 20,000 units, but between March and April the figure has been notably higher. If 27,829 units of the iconic off-road vehicle were marketed in March (a record number), in April this feat was beaten again with a total of 29,776 copies. Figures more typical of the best-selling vehicles in that market.
The US publication Jalopnik highlighted in a recent article that the figures for the Wrangler in April were dangerously close to those of the Toyota Camry, the best-selling passenger car in that market, which closed the first full month of spring with sales of 29,848 units. The Toyota sedan is a historic top monthly and yearly sales ranking, so getting close to its numbers (even just a month) is quite an achievement.
These figures not only show the excellent reception of the market for the new generation, they also underline what many media already anticipated, the evolution of the new JL generation is very remarkable, but it has managed to maintain the same spirit and attractive design of the generation outgoing.
One of the secrets of this best-seller is precisely hidden in its predecessor, since during these months it has remained on sale simultaneously with the new model. The most popular Jeep Wrangler led headlights are still for JK vehicles. So customers have not only found the renewed 2018 model in dealerships, but the latest examples of the JK generation, and of course, with promotional prices that have surely managed to attract more than one.
Just a few days ago the last manufactured copy of the Wrangler JK left the factory in Toledo (Ohio), until now the best-selling generation of the model and therefore one of the most important in the extensive history of the off-road vehicle.
