Chrysler
Chrysler has recently joined forces with Fiat, and the model range is an odd mix of compact European-style hatchbacks - which are essentially rebadged Lancias - and traditional US-style boulevard cruisers. The Grand Voyager offers one of the best space-per-pound ratios in the people carrier market, while the 300C is an intriguing alternative in the executive saloon class.

Chrysler Ypsilon
The Chrysler Ypsilon is one of the first products of Chrysler's partnership with Italian firm Fiat, and is essentially a rebadged version of a Lancia premium supermini. The Ypsilon is based on the Fiat 500, and the main differences between the two are that the Ypsilon comes with five doors and a more luxurious interior.

Chrysler Grand Voyager
The seven-seat Chrysler Grand Voyager is simply enormous, and majors on space and practicality. The latest version is better built than its predecessor, is more versatile and has plenty of standard equipment. However, the Grand Voyager is not as good to drive as its rivals, and the 2.8-litre diesel engine isn't particularly quiet or economical.

Chrysler 300C
The 300C was conceived when Chrysler was partnered with Mercedes, and is based on the old E-Class. It looks and feels enormous, whether you opt for the saloon or estate version, and the styling is very distinctive, especially when compared to the Audi A6, Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series. The 300C can’t match its rivals in the driving department, but the interior is comfortable and the soft ride is comfortable on longer journeys. The diesel engine is a better option than the thirsty V8 petrol model, an all models get high levels of standard equipment.
Chrysler Delta
The Chrysler Delta bears a name that will be familiar to car enthusiasts, as the Lancia Delta gained a cult following when it was sold in the UK in the Eighties and Nineties. Now the model is back with Chrysler badges, thanks to the firm's tie-up with Lancia parent company Fiat. Under the swooping bodywork, the Delta uses the same mechanical parts as the Fiat Bravo, but it's more luxuriously equipped and roomier, too.
