Car Features - Same Car, Different Names: Fiat-Chrysler

Among the Detroit three manufacturers, Chrysler is the smallest of them and the word badge engineering is no stranger to the brand. The group had a number of brands throughout the years from a bankruptcy to German and Italian ownership, to a point of having a Japanese partner to fulfill a joint-venture.

In order for a car to be counted on this list, the vehicle must have a different name using the same shell (exterior modifications are usually done) but sold under a different brand. And to avoid a super long list, we would limit vehicles which were launched from 1990s and above. Do take note the year range represents the entire vehicle line (including those of its twins) even if the original model was killed. In order to be listed, the base vehicle must be from a Chrysler subsidiary so a Mitsubishi badged Chrysler vehicle will not make a cut here.

Let us see Chrysler vehicles that had seen different badges at their backs and will include both past models from the Fiat Group as well as the Mitsubishi partnership and Daimler Chrysler eras.
