Windsor, Ontario July 4, 2023 - At the close of the second quarter of 2023, FCA Canada is reporting a sales increase of 3%, as compared with the same period last year. Three of the company’s vehicles remain amongst the 10 best-selling plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the country.

Overall, second-quarter sales of 48,368 vehicles grew past the previous year’s total of 47,184.

“With the Dodge, Ram and Alfa Romeo brands overachieving in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study and the right mix of high-demand products at our dealer body, sales are trending in a positive direction at the halfway point of 2023,” said Jason Stoicevich, president - Canada, Stellantis. “Our strong PHEV position will be reinforced in the back half of the year, as the plug-in hybrid versions of the Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale arrive onshore, alongside the recently updated 2024 Jeep® Wrangler 4xe.”

For the quarter, Wagoneer by Jeep saw sales increase 61% versus the same period last year. Jeep Compass, with a new standard 2.0-litre engine, also saw its sales increase 41%. With uncompromised capability and an all-electric range of 35 kilometres, the plug-in hybrid 4xe version of Jeep Wrangler accounted for approximately 20% of the model’s quarterly sales. The Jeep brand recently previewed its coming automated off-road driving technology in electrified Grand Cherokee 4xe models. This AI and autonomous off-road driving technology can enhance the experiences of seasoned off-roaders, as well as customers who are new to driving the trail.

Chrysler brand sales increased for the quarter by 11% on the strength of the Windsor, Ontario-made Chrysler minivans. Chrysler Pacifica minivans totaled 3,211 sales for Q2, of which 24% were the class-exclusive plug-in hybrid model with an all-electric range of more than 50 kilometres.

Ram pickups marked a strong second quarter, helping the brand grow sales by 8% over the same period prior. Light-duty sales grew to 21,544 from 19,426. As the second quarter began, Ram stole the spotlight at the New York Auto Show with the world debut of the all-new, all-electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV – the first battery-electric light-duty pickup truck from Ram Truck. Ram 1500 REV has a targeted range of over an unsurpassed 800 kilometres. 

Dodge brand saw Challenger and Durango sales accelerate forward for Q2 2023, with both up 23% and 40%, respectively, versus the same three months of 2022. Last month, Dodge brand announced that its popular August enthusiast event, MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge, will move to downtown Pontiac, Michigan, as well as growing the overall footprint of the one-day horsepower festival.

Sales of the Canada-made Dodge Challenger and Chrysler Pacifica also rose for the half, with 27% of minivan sales accounted for as the class-exclusive plug-in hybrid model.
