US: Stellantis' Jeep And Chrysler Note Strong PHEV Sales In Q4 2022

Stellantis reports 347,669 vehicle sales in the United States during the fourth quarter of 2022, which is 16 percent less than a year ago. Also. the total volume in 2022 decreased compared to 2021.

Results in December and in 2022:

  • Chrysler sales: 25,052 (down 39%) and 112,713 (down 2%)
  • Jeep sales: 143,317 (down 18%) and 684,614 (down 12%)
  • Stellantis sales: 347,669 (down 16%) and 1,547,076 (down 13%)
    including Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and Ram

Two of the group's brands - Chrysler and Jeep - are already engaged in electrification and deliver pretty strong growth in plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) sales.

In Q4, Stellantis as a whole sold 20,350 PHEVs, which is 5.9% of the total volume and a new quarterly record. Jeep recently noted more than 16,000 PHEV sales thanks to the introduction of the second model - Grand Cherokee 4xe, which joined the Wrangler 4xe. Chrysler offers the plug-in hybrid Pacifica Hybrid minivan.

Plug-in car sales in Q4 2022:

  • Chrysler: 4,046 and 16.2% share
  • Jeep: 16,304 and 11.4% share
  • Stellantis: 20,350 and 5.9% share

US Head of Sales Jeff Kommor said:

“We saw strong demand for our PHEV offerings in the face of industry market conditions that carried across 2021 into 2022, including production constraints and a disruption of parts and materials in general, which adversely affected our overall sales. Sales of the Jeep® Wrangler 4xe increased 46% over last year, and the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, introduced to the market late last year, accounted for 11% of the nameplate’s performance.”

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

In 2022, Stellantis sold more than 63,000 plug-in hybrids in the US, which is pretty amazing. That's almost two times more than Toyota.

Plug-in car sales in 2022:

  • Chrysler: 14,392 and 12.8% share
  • Jeep: 48,989 and 7.2% share
  • Stellantis: 63,381 and 4.1% share

As it turns out, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe continues to be the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the US (and in Canada).

"The Jeep Wrangler 4xe, the first-ever electrified Jeep Wrangler, remains America’s best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle, with 43,176 (24%) of total Jeep Wrangler sales in 2022. Sales of the Wrangler 4xe increased 46% year over year, and 22% during the fourth quarter versus the same period last year.  "

Stellantis' plug-in car sales YTD:

  • Jeep Wrangler 4xe - 43,176
  • Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid - 14,392
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe - at least 5,813
  • Total: 63,381+ (at least 4.1% of the total Stellantis volume)

More plug-in hybrids and the first all-electric models from Stellantis are on the horizon and it seems that the brand will gradually become more and more electrified - maybe even faster than we initially thought.
