Chrysler carmaker set foot in Vietnam

The U.S. car manufacturer Chrysler marked its official presence in Vietnam on Wednesday through the launching of its showroom and authorized distributor in Ho Chi Minh City.

The showroom is located at 29 Ton Duc Thang Street in district 1, under management of the distributor Indochina Auto.

Chrysler will introduce large-size models under trademarks of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep – including the Chrysler 300C, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Journey, and Dodge Nitro.

Next year, Indochina Auto will open new showrooms in Hanoi in the north, Da Nang in the central region, and later in neighboring nations Laos and Cambodia.

So, Chrysler becomes the second American car maker in Vietnam, after Ford since 1995.

Other well-known car makers as BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Land Rover, and Hyundai arrived in the Southeast Asian country.
