We have the original Jeep Cherokee to thank (or blame) for the crossover's rise. Released for 1984, and called XJ internally, the model gained a loyal following by bridging the gap between family-friendly station wagons and burly body-on-frame SUVs. Many early XJs were driven into the ground, heavily modified, or chewed alive by rust, but a clean-looking example with cool options has popped up on Cars & Bids.
Winter is a bad time for convertible sales; this is a fact we acknowledge openly in our (silly, but persistent) Mazda Miata sales tracking page. But that doesn't mean what it used to for America's convertible market. Why? Well, because most of the droptops being sold in 2024 are also equipped with four-wheel-drive. That's right, four, not all. And that's because America's three best-selling convertibles are trucks and SUVs… and it's not even close.
Jeep is taking advantage of today's lunar shenanigans by introducing the 2024 Gladiator NightHawk package — a largely cosmetic offering that combines some popular equipment in a blacked-out bundle that will set you back $5,295.
You love pink Jeeps. That's not a question; it's a fact. When Tuscadero Pink debuted on the Wrangler back in 2021, demand for it was so strong that Jeep was compelled to extend production into the 2022 model year just to fill existing orders. It disappeared into Mopar's color vault after that production run completed, but Jeep's marketing people know a hit when they see one. Sure enough, Tuscadero Pink is back for the refreshed 2024 Wrangler.

First quarter sales results for Stellantis are in and they’re 10 percent lower than they were in 2023. That figure takes into account the Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo brands. Digging a little deeper into the numbers reveals some big wins, some surprising losses, and some predictable results as well.The downturn in sales comes mostly from big dips from Ram and Dodge.
There may be snow on the ground in many parts of the country as I write this, but spring is in the air even way up here in the once-frigid expanse of Michigan, and with it comes Jeep's annual celebration in Moab, Utah — the Easter Jeep Safari. And as is tradition, Jeep has a handful of concept builds to show off to this year's Safari-goers. While we won't be seeing anything along the lines of the now-retired Jeep Magneto or 392 Scrambler, it's still Easter Jeep Safari; there's always something cool.
DETROIT — Jeep maker Stellantis is laying off about 400 white-collar workers in the U.S. as it deals with the transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles.
