Is Chrysler Dodge?

Are Chrysler and Dodge interchangeable? The answer is: No. While Chrysler and Dodge both are wholly-owned entities of the full Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) umbrella of brands, both Chrysler and Dodge are separate brands. The FCA group includes such household names as Chrysler, Dodge Jeep, RAM, Alfa Romeo, and FIAT. Read on to learn more.

Who is FCA, and What are Its Sub-Brands?

FCA, or Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, is the parent company that oversees the full Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, FIAT, and Alfa Romeo brand lineup. While FIAT and Alfa Romeo are more recent acquisitions, the full FCA lineup often has similar features and proprietary technologies, such as the Uconnect® suite. That having been said, each sub-brand is distinct, offering its own unique vehicles within their respective lineups. Read more about each below.

The Chrysler Brand

Chrysler began many years ago when the Maxwell Motor Company, established in 1913, was dissolved. Today, Chrysler is known for luxurious vehicles such as those listed below.

• Chrysler 300: This luxurious full-size sedan once had the tagline “Imported from Detroit” because, well, despite its American origins, it exudes an air of sophistication and class more commonly found in imported luxury vehicles from brands such as Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and INFINITI, among others. 
• Chrysler Pacifica: The Chrysler Pacifica is a critically-acclaimed minivan that is full of safety features and luxury amenities to keep your family safe around Williston.
• Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: The standard Pacifica’s eco-friendly sibling, the Pacifica Hybrid is as luxurious as it is fuel-efficient!

The Dodge Brand

Dodge had its roots in the racing world, and that has continued on in the current lineup of Dodge vehicles. What Chrysler offers to luxury lovers, Dodge offers to performance enthusiasts. Whereas Chrysler cars and vans are opulent and high-quality, Dodge SUVs and cars offer racy styling, bold interior design, and edgy performance.

• Dodge Charger: The Dodge Charger offers a standard 3.6L engine and available HEMI® engine options. This sports sedan is a true four-door muscle car through and through.
• Dodge Challenger: A true icon, the Dodge Challenger is a two-door coupe that is sure to get you noticed on Stanley and Watford City roads. 
• Dodge Durango: Need a family-friendly three-row vehicle that is also every bit as powerful as it is practical? The Dodge Durango is an ideal choice.
