Chrysler Australia Group Continues to Break Records in April

SYDNEY – May 3, 2012: Chrysler Australia Group achieved an absolutely outstanding sales result for the month of April with a total of 1,488 vehicles sold across the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge brands.

The strength of April 2012 has seen the Chrysler Australia Group almost triple its sales results year on year with the Jeep Grand Cherokee as the star performer. These sales have placed the company in strong stead for year ahead, up over 90 percent year to date.

Recently named the world’s most awarded SUV ever, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was delivered to 635 happy customers in April. In addition, the introduction of the Jeep Patriot in 2WD saw sales skyrocket more than 200 percent for the month.

Managing Director of Chrysler Australia, Clyde Campbell, said that April was a brilliant result for the group’s network.

“With each month continuing to break sales records, the momentum within the dealer network continues to grow.

“Once again, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has displayed fantastic strength for the company, and we anticipate this will grow even even further with the impending arrival of the SRT8 model,” said Mr. Campbell.

The outlook for 2012 looks equally impressive with the planned arrival of key products to further shape the product and brand portfolio. Highlights include the release of the all-new Chrysler 300 and various SRT8 vehicles.

With an ever growing dealer network, and more recently the exciting acquisition of Fiat and Alfa Romeo distribution in Australia, the company is in great shape to continue soaring in 2012.
