The mystery of Chrysler 200, 2024 sales figures of -1: what does it mean?


Negative sales? What does it mean? Stellantis reported selling “-1” number of Chrysler 200 in the first quarter of 2024, raising several questions. What is it due to?

There is no doubt that the Chrysler 200, which ended its cycle at the end of the second generation, failed to enter the market. Although the top-of-the-line model with all-wheel drive had impressive power, the base four-cylinder engine. did not satisfy userswho felt that it was not enough for this type of car.

Despite being out of production some time ago, it seems that the Chrysler 200 continues to “infect” the sales figures, so much so that Stellantis reported one-unit sales below zero. The fact that the car continues to sell even after leaving the factory production should not be surprising at all, on the contrary, it may happen that some models remain in stock in some dealers for years. This is the case of this Dodge Viper we told you about: it went out of production in 2017 and was sold 7 years later. It was in stock for a long time, apparently the seller was able to find a buyer after all this time.

We don’t know why the group reported such a number, or whether or not it was intended minor transcription error. One possibility would be that the number of Chrysler 200s returned to dealers is greater than those sold (which would be surprising, but unlikely).

Chrysler has announced plans to launch an all-electric SUV in 2025, which is expected based on the Jeep Wagoneer S platform. This SUV should represent, for Stellantis, a commitment and effort to renew the brand and respond to the growing demand for SUVs and electric vehicles.

This example, as wellPacifica car update, would represent a move that would aim to remain competitive in the market in the face of competing brands in the United States such as Tesla and Ford. Additionally, Chrysler is reportedly considering a fully electric version of the Pacifica but, at the moment, we don’t have much information on the matter.
