DETROIT – Chrysler Group LLC’s net profits rose 32 percent to $611 million in the third quarter, the Auburn Hills company announced Wednesday, reported MLive.
That comes on top line growth of 18 percent to $20.7 billion for net revenues. The revenue growth was driven by higher vehicle shipments, in particular the all-new Jeep Cherokee and Chrysler 200 models, the company said.

For the first nine months of 2014, Chrysler Group LLC reported adjusted net income of $1.7 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the first nine months of 2013. Its net revenue in the period grew to $60.1 billion, compared with $50.9 billion in the first nine months of 2013.
