Jeep sales are up 36 percent there.
We ve already noted that the Jeep brand is staking its claim in Japan. Now Q1 sales are in and the brand is up again, 36% in March over last year. The early adopters are expectedly, the young. I like outdoor activities and I was looking for a car that has high horsepower and can carry a lot of baggage, said 24-year-old Tsubasa Imai, who just bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee. There also aren t too many cars in Japan that can tow a boat as well as look cool.
Jeep sales are expected to increase 5% this year to more than 15,000 units, said Hitoshi Ushikubo, the head of sales at Fiat Chrysler Japan, in an interview Monday. Automotive News notes that Fiat Chrysler Japan has yet to be merged with Peugeot in the company. But it will eventually fall under the new Stellantis name.
New information has come to light.
The midsize truck segment is alive and well thanks to the combined popularity of the Ford Ranger, Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, and the just-revealed all-new Nissan Frontier. The Jeep Gladiator, though similar in size, is somewhat more niche. For that reason, there have been reports for quite some time about a Dodge Dakota revival, only now it d be a Ram truck. A Gladiator-based Ram Dakota was supposedly part of Fiat Chrysler s upcoming product line, but the automaker has since merged with the PSA Groupe to become Stellantis.
The new automaker is currently reviewing FCA s previous plans and last month we learned the reborn Dakota had been canceled. Or has it?

The debut is only a matter of time.
With the merger of FCA and the PSA Groupe now completed, the newly formed and world s fourth-largest automaker, Stellantis, is wasting no time moving ahead with plans for the highly profitable Jeep brand. The transition towards all-electric vehicles is high on the company s to-do list and an all-electric Jeep will happen eventually.
For now, there s the new 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid whose powertrain consists of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired to two electric motors and a 17-kWh battery pack for a combined output of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. But why stop there with the powertrain setup?
