Chrysler Posts Best October Sales Since 2007

2015 Town and County - ChryslerDealerNY - 07

The positive sales trend for Chrysler continued into October. Like many previous months, October was one of the company’s best, this one being the best since 2001.

“October marks our 67-th consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth and our best October since 2001.” Reid Bigland, head of US Sales said. “Last month’s sales strength continued to be broad based for the company with eight FCA vehicles setting October sales records across three of our brands.”

Each brand did extremely well in October. The Jeep brand pushed the biggest numbers, but Chrysler still managed show a lot of strength and break records itself. Sales as a whole, including the Chrysler 200, 300, and Town & Country were up 1 percent from last year’s October. The biggest winner in the Chrysler brand was the Town & Country. Its sales were up 4 percent, giving it the best October the minivan has had since 2007.

This year Chrysler is celebrating the 90th anniversary of its brand. To celebrate, Chrysler is producing special limited-edition 90th anniversary vehicles. They are looking to reward loyal fans and drivers.

Chrysler Town and Country Hybrid Minivan Will be a Game-Changer

Game Changing Chrysler Town and Country - ChryslerDealerNY Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Chrysler is planning to have their next-generation hybrid minivan to be a gamechanger.  The company has invested more than $-billion into their Windsor Assembly Plant to bring this new minivan to life.

Sergio Marchionne, Fiat-Chrysler’s CEO, talked about the minivan in a conference call.  “The minivan that’s coming out next year is a huge step forward for us not just in terms of renewal of a relatively old architecture, but also in terms of embracing plug-in hybrid technology.”

This response was to reporters asking Marchionne about the recent delays in some future Chrysler vehicles.  He also responded with citing the five-year plan that was released in 2014 is fluid and able to change depending on the needs of the company.

Chrysler’s CEO Al Gardner was the one to claim that the new hybrid Town & Country will be a “game changer.”  Back in April, he talked with Detroit News where he talked about how much a fuel-efficient hybrid minivan would change the market and that Chrysler wanted to be the first to that market.

The new Town & Country is slated to go into production in the first quarter of this upcoming year.
