Chrysler will withdraw from the UK in 2017 after issuing two year termination notices to its UK dealer network earlier this week.
UK sales have been falling for the past two years with registrations in 2014 dropping 21% to 1,982 units giving the brand a market share of just 0.08%.
Dealers sold 69 units in the first two months of this year with just 12 registrations in February.
A spokesman told Motor Trader the decision followed a Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) review of the UK market when a decision was made to concentrate activities on its Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Abarth brands with Jeep becoming its sole US marque.
Press reportssuggest the Chrysler brand had been hit hard by its failure to adapt to stringent C02 regulations which has limited its product line-up.
Chrysler’s product line-up has fallen to just three models the Ypsilion, a rebadged Lancia, 300C and grand Voyager.
Chrysler’s exit follows that of GM-owned Chevrolet which ceased trading in the UK last year and will be withdrawn from Europe by the end of this year.
