    Jeep’s continued popularity in the UK is illustrated in this week’s new car registrations figures, which show the best September ever, and the third-best month ever, in the UK for the legendary 4x4 manufacturer.

    There was an almost 200 per cent year-on-year sales hike too, as the extra interest generated by the brand’s B-segment Renegade model continued strongly.

    Jeep registered 2,097 cars in September – the 25th consecutive year-on-year increase – compared with 762 in the same month last year. Market share was 0.45 per cent compared with 0.18 per cent in 2014.

    Meanwhile, the year-to-date figure of 8420 means the 4x4 brand is up 196 per cent when compared with the 2844 units it had sold year-to-date in 2014.
       
    New Jeep Renegade performed exceptionally well, registering 1299 sales in September, while Cherokee sold 335 and Grand Cherokee 356, according to figures supplied by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

    “The sales figures are fantastic news, not only for new Renegade, but for the Jeep brand as a whole,” says Damien Dally, head of brand, Jeep UK. “It is quite clear that more people are turning to Jeep for their next car, as we bring exciting new models to the UK.

    “We were confident last year that Renegade would help us to grow the Jeep brand, and I’m delighted that’s happened. But it won’t stop there – I can promise more to come from us yet.”
