Chrysler Canada says sales up, trucks outpacing cars

TORONTO -- Chrysler Canada says its sales in November were up nearly nine per cent compared with a year ago.

The automaker says it sold 20,922 vehicles last month, up from 19,206 in November 2013.

The increase came as a gain in Chrysler truck sales outpaced a drop in car sales.

Chrysler truck sales totalled 18,961 for the month, up 17.4 per cent from 16,153 a year ago.

The company's car sales amounted to 1,961 vehicles, down 35.8 per cent from 3,053 in November last year.

Chrysler's sales for the year to date totalled 268,391, up 9.7 per cent from 244,570 in the first 11 months of 2013.
