Chrysler will start selling a new Chrysler 300C model in China at the end
of March, company sources said on Tuesday.

Chrysler Group, which is struggling to cope with declining sales in the
United States, has been expanding vigorously in China. It introduced
locally-produced 2.7L, 3.5L and 5.7L versions of the Chrysler 300C last
November.

The upcoming model is the basic 300C 2.7L version, sources said without
indicating the price.

The company has sold over 5,000 units of the 300C in China since
November, a robust performance that gave the line to gloomy forecasts.

Upgraded 300C 2.7L, 3.5L and 5.7L models will also hit the Chinese market
but the timetable has not yet been decided, sources said.

Apart from the 300C series and PT Cruiser introduced to China recently,
Chrysler will unveil its famous Dodge this year, according to Simon
Elliott, president and chief executive of Chrysler (China) Auto Sales.
