Like every other manufacturer selling sport utility vehicles these days, parent Chrysler LLC has seen a huge drop off in Jeep Grand Cherokee sales to the tune of a 48% decrease for July 2008 over the same period in 2007. This unprecedented drop has hit Chrysler the most as the company has long been dependent on trucks and SUVs for the overwhelming majority of their sales.
If you want an off-road vehicle with better fuel economy, consider the Jeep Patriot. It's the least expensive off-roader on the market and provides a 23/28 best-in-class fuel economy rating (when compared only to other off-road SUVs).
