Unfortunately for Jeep, Gladiator sales slumped by 36.5 per cent in 2024 to just 515 units. The next best-selling vehicle on ***** for the whole year was the

It remains to be seen whether the Kangoo will push past the Partner in 2025. Renault delivered 191 examples of its small van last year, with the two rivals living in the shadow of the
