Chrysler Group LLC on December 1 reported U.S. sales of 74,152, a 17 percent increase compared with sales in November 2009 (63,560 units).

November represents the eighth consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases. Also, in nine of the 11 months this year, Chrysler Group monthly sales increased over sales in the previous month.

“We are pleased with the sales momentum that has been building this year, and elated now that we are showing off the vehicles that we’ve been talking about,” said Fred Diaz, president and CEO – Ram Truck Brand and lead executive for U.S. Sales. “Our all-new and significantly-refreshed vehicles were well-received during the Los Angeles Auto Show preview and by media at our driving event in San Francisco in November.”

The Dodge Brand unveiled six 2011 models during the Los Angeles Auto Show including its all-new 2011 Dodge Charger, the brand’s performance flagship; its all-new 2011 Dodge Durango three-row SUV, and the 2011 Dodge Journey crossover with its completely redesigned and retuned suspension, new V-6 engine and new interior.

The Chrysler Brand is replacing its entire product line over the next few months. The new 2011 Chrysler Town & Country and new 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan will be the first vehicles to arrive in dealerships. Chrysler’s new 2011 Town & Country will set a new standard in the minivan segment with an expressive exterior design, completely upgraded interior as well as functional enhancements to the powertrain and suspension. The new Chrysler 200 has a completely exterior and interior design, supported by a highly upgraded powertrain and suspension. These two new vehicles will be the first step in completely renovating the Chrysler Brand showroom. The Chrysler Brand also will soon be launching the all-new 2011 Chrysler 300 series flagship vehicles and the Chrysler 200 convertible.

In all, Chrysler Group this year is introducing 16 all-new or significantly- refreshed 2011 models representing 75 percent of its nameplates. Five of the 16 models are already in dealerships, while 11 models will be launched by the end of the year.

Chrysler Group finished the month with a 79-day supply of inventory (243,206 units). U.S. industry sales figures for November are projected at an estimated 12.2 SAAR.
