With sales rising 1.7% in 2020 despite the pandemic, last year was the seventh in a row in which Jeep reached record-levels in the nation. Better still, sales are looking good so far this year.
The brand sold 1,925 cars last month, up 36% from March 2020. Although that increase was helped by the coronavirus, Jeep still anticipates that sales will top 15,000 this year, making 2021 the eighth year of growing sales in a row.
