canada and mexico sales
Chrysler had another good month in Canada and stopped a string of losses in Mexico with the release of July sales figures.

In Canada, the company had its 56th month of year-over-year sales growth, extending the longest streak in the company’s history and setting a new July record. The retail sales (24,164) were the best for any month in Chrysler Canada history, and helped cement the company’s place as Canada’s best-selling automaker.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 had its first full month of sales in July with 1,331 units sold, a 44% rise over the old 2014 200 last year. Ram set a record, with 8,095 trucks sold, beating July 2013’s 7,854 and keeping its spot as the second best selling vehicle in Canada. Wrangler set an all-time monthly record with 2,797 sold.

The Dodge Grand Caravan boosted sales from 5,286 to 5,809; the Caravan is responsible for as many sales as all other Canadian minivans combined.

In Mexico, Chrysler brand sales rose 59%, Jeep 16%, and Ram 56%, with a total of 7,255 sales across the country (of which 629 were Fiats and Alfa Romeos). The slight increase in sales (2%) over July 2013 stops months of sales drops, which appear to have largely resulted from dropping a line of rebadged Hyundais, now sold by Hyundai itself.
