Chrysler was first to report its November sales and with good reason: the company’s sales skyrocketed 45% in November, blowing past the most optimistic analyst estimates. Volume totaled 107,172 cars and trucks and represents best year-over-year sales gain in 2011.
Retail sales jumped 51%. November was the sixth-consecutive month of sales gains of at least 20%. Chrysler Group sales have beaten the average industry sales increase in ten months of this year.
The Chrysler 300 full-size and Chrysler 200 mid-size sedans stood out in the sales figures, along with Dodge Charger, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Durango, Jeep® Compass, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. All brands other than Fiat (which has no sales history for 2010) posted sales increases, year-to-year.
Chrysler Group finished the month with a 78-day supply of inventory (333,218 units). U.S. industry sales figures for November are projected at an estimated 13.8 million SAAR.
