AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — After successfully launching its Chrysler and Dodge eX minivans directly into the heart of the market earlier this year, the Chrysler Group will add four new 'e' models to its extensive menu of minivans this fall. Now with 21 models from which to choose, Chrysler and Dodge continue to offer the largest selection in the segment.

Chrysler Town & Country eX and Dodge Grand Caravan eX were launched in mid-March of 2001. To date, more than 17,000 eX units have been sold. For the 2002 model year, the Chrysler Group will add four new additions to its 'e' family of minivans: Chrysler Voyager eC, Dodge Caravan eC, Chrysler Town & Country eL and Dodge Grand Caravan eL. Production for the new models will begin in late-September of 2001 and will arrive in Chrysler and Dodge dealerships by October.

"Our focus is clear," said James C. Schroer, Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, Chrysler Group. "And that focus is on winning. Approximately 75 percent of minivan shoppers use the Internet to gather information before visiting their local dealers to compare and make their purchase. Our e-strategy offers consumers attractive, complete, high-value models in critical parts of the minivan segment."

Starting at US$16,995 (which includes US$640 for destination), Chrysler Voyager eC and Dodge Caravan eC will be positioned as the most affordable minivans in the market. Chrysler Voyager eC and Dodge Caravan eC are standard-wheelbase, four-cylinder, five-passenger minivans. A short list of optional equipment includes a seven-passenger seating package, rear defrost, adjustable pedals, power locks and side air bags.
