Chrysler Sedans

A global recall of the Chrysler 300 for faulty airbag inflators could impact almost 1000 Australian-delivered vehicles.

There's only one V8 Dodge in production right now, and it's not a Charger sedan or Challenger coupe, but the Durango crossover.

Chrysler may be ending production of its 300 but it reportedly isn't planning to leave the large passenger car market, previewing a new vehicle to US dealers.

In 2021, we lost two brands and 18 nameplates in the Australian market, and there were a handful of other discontinuations worth noting.

The Chrysler brand is packing up early in Australia. Just 30 or so 300 sedans are available, and then it's curtains for the American brand.

The Chrysler 300 continues to hang on, with an overseas report indicating it isn't expected to shuffle off this mortal coil until 2023.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, another famous American, reports of the Chrysler 300's death were an exaggeration as the big sedan – and the Chrysler brand – are sticking around in Australia for now.

Want a cheap, V8-powered Chrysler? You'll still be able to get it, but don't expect the dealer to have one ready to roll.
