Chrysler made quite a buzz with its redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee and its appears that the car is already exceeding expectations as the manufacturer is considering adding a third production shift at the Detroit plant where the SUV is built. For those who don't know, Chrysler already hired 1,080 workers to staff a second shift, which began on July 19. Orders continue being much higher than initial expectations, and we are considering adding a third shift soon, the person said.
Back on July 12, the manufacturer launched the production of right-hand-drive Grand Cherokee models for export to Europe, but due to the strong demand in the United States those shipments might be crimped.
Chrysler wants to build ,000 Grand Cherokees this year, up from 60,640 last year.
