Chrysler Group Sales Up 18.79 Percent To 169,890 Units In September 2014: By The Numbers

Chrysler Group U.S. sales grew 18.79 percent to 169,890 vehicles in September 2014, marking the 54th-consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains for the group as well as its best September sales since 2005.

On a brand level, Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, and Fiat posted year-over-year increases in sales, while Dodge was down.

“Continued consumer demand for our new Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan, our Jeep models, and the Ram pickup truck helped Chrysler Group achieve a 19 percent sales increase in September and our 54th-consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth,” said Reid Bigland, Head of U.S. Sales. “Chrysler Group sales continue to demonstrate strength as we recorded our seventh month of double-digit growth this year.”

Six of the automaker’s vehicles recorded their best ever September sales, including the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Chrysler 200, and Ram pickup truck. The Jeep and Ram Truck brands recorded the largest percentage sales gains of Chrysler Group brands in September.

Chrysler Group finished the month of September with a 71 days supply of inventory (500,402 units).

Jeep

Jeep sales grew 47 percent to 55,231 units, the brand’s best-ever sales in the month of September. The brand’s 47 percent increase was the largest percentage sales gain of any Chrysler Group brand for the month. It also was the brand’s 12th-consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains.

Jeep has set a sales record in each month this year, including the all-time sales record in May. The Jeep Wrangler, Compass and Patriot each logged their best ever sales in the month of September.

Ram

Ram brand sales increased 34.75 percent to 38,498 units in September.

The Ram pickup truck recorded its best-ever sales in the month of September. Sales of the Ram pickup were up 30 percent in September, its 53rd-consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains.

Ram Light Duty sales increased 21 percent in September while Ram Heavy Duty pickups were up 49 percent. Cargo Van sales were up 13 percent in September, its best ever sales in the month of September, and the Ram ProMaster Van recorded 1,408 unit sales.

With sales of the Ram pickup on a 53-month sales streak, Chrysler Group’s Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Michigan is increasing production. The plant that built back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year winners in 2013 and 2014 will be building an average of an additional 100 vehicles a day, or 28,585 more trucks a year, to keep up with demand.

Chrysler

Chrysler brand sales were up 14 percent, the brand’s best September sales since 2007. The sales increase was driven by the Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan and the Chrysler Town & Country minivan. Sales of the 200 were up 15 percent last month, its best ever sales in the month of September.

Sales of the Town & Country minivan were up 23 percent in September, the minivan’s best September sales in eight years. Continuing to offer the versatility and functionality it is known for, the Town & Country minivan is available in two additional trim levels for 2015: The Town & Country LX offers an exceptional level of standard content at a starting price under $30,000, and the Town & Country Limited Platinum builds on the luxury and convenience of the Town & Country Limited.

Fiat

Fiat brand sales grew 6.43 percent to 3,360 units.

Sales of the Fiat 500 were up 29 percent in September compared with the same month a year ago. The month marked the 500’s best September sales since 2012.

Sales of the 500L resumed last week following an airbag-related recall that affected an estimated 29,500 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. The knee air bags were replaced in these vehicles.

Dodge

Dodge brand sales decreased 9.38 percent to 44,020 units.

The Dodge Journey, Grand Caravan and Viper each recorded year-over-year sales increases in September. Sales of the Grand Caravan were up 3 percent, the minivan’s best September in two years.
