This year is Chrysler Group's biggest ever in the UK with no less than six new right-hand drive vehicles on sale in the first seven months, together with the launch of the Dodge brand.
Chrysler's award-winning 300C saloon, which has already sold out in the UK this year, was joined by the 300C Touring estate car in May and a high performance version of the saloon - the Chrysler 300C SRT - 8 - arrived in April.
The 300C SRT-8 features a 6.1-litre HEMI 420hp engine, a top speed of 170mph and a 0-62mph time of less than five seconds. This high performance engine will also feature in the Grand Cherokee SRT-8, the world's fastest 4x4.
Due to launch in July, the Grand Cherokee SRT-8 features a specially developed full-time 4x4 system that channels 90 per cent of the power to the rear wheels. If sensors detect rear wheel spin torque will then be sent to the front wheels to increase traction. A reprogrammed traction control system, 20-inch wheels and an SRT sports-tuned suspension all help create outstanding ride and handling.
These SRT versions have been developed by Chrysler's 'Street Race Technology' performance division. All SRT vehicles feature powerful engines, unique exterior details, sports suspension and a sports interior.
Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler Group, said: "We will only bring a small number of the 300C and Grand Cherokee SRT-8 into the UK but these two aren't the only stunning vehicles to be launched next year. The right-hand drive Chrysler PT Cabriolet arrived in dealers in March while the all-new Dodge Caliber five-door family hatchback arrives in July.
"The Dodge Caliber will be the first of a series of new right-hand drive Dodge products coming into the UK over the next three years."
The final new vehicle for Chrysler Group in the UK next year is the new Jeep Commander, a seven-seat version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which launches in April.
Simon Elliott added: "Although the new Commander shares the four-wheel drive system, suspension and powertrains as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, it is very different."
