Chrysler Canada starts the year strong

January 2015 sales were 18,054 compared with 17,698 in January 2014, which represents a 2 per cent increase.   

“Our strong product portfolio has helped us achieve an unprecedented 62 consecutive months of year over year sales growth,” said Dave Buckingham, Chief Operating Officer, FCA Canada. “Strong sales for Jeep brand, Ram brand, and minivans continue to be the key determinant in our success.”
 
Sales Highlights:
 
The Chrysler 200 is the most affordable mid-size car in Canada, with best-in-class horsepower, the most technically advanced all-wheel-drive system in its class and more advanced safety features than any other vehicle in the category.

In January 2015, there were 676 Chrysler 200 sedans sold, marking an increase of 7 per cent over 633 sold in January 2014. These results earn the Chrysler 200 a January sales record.
 
The Jeep Brand set a phenomenal all-time worldwide record in 2014 with sales exceeding one million units. 2014 represented the third consecutive year of all-time sales records for the brand.  

In Canada, Jeep brand sales were up more than 50 per cent for the 2014 calendar year.  That strong momentum continues for the Jeep brand as 2015 gets underway with a January sales record of 4,003, compared with 3,507 sold in January of 2014. These results represent a 14 per cent increase.
