Chrysler Group Reports Best April Sales Since 2008 with a 20 Percent Increase Over Last Year

The Chrysler Group's U.S. sales in April grew 20 percent over the same month last year to 141,165 units, making it the company's best April since 2008, which was before it went into bankruptcy.

All four brands of the Chrysler Group posted sales increases in April compared with the same month a year ago.

In detail, Chrysler recorded a 56 percent jump to 31,879 units, Jeep +19 percent to 38,684 units, Dodge +2 percent to 45,248 vehicles, Ram +12 percent to 21,505 deliveries, and Fiat +336 percent to 3,849 cars, though the Italian brand was just introduced to the market last year.

“April was another strong month for Chrysler as our sales increased 20 percent, we recorded our 25th-consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth and we reported our strongest quarterly profit in 13 years,” commented about the results of the Chrysler Group Reid Bigland, Dodge CEO and Head of U.S. Sales.

Chrysler added that it finished the month with a 59-days supply of inventory at 344,453 units.
