Auburn Hills, Mich. - Chrysler Group LLC will head to the Far East to showcase its Mopar® brand in China at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition.

'The automotive aftermarket in China has grown exponentially,' said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC's service, parts and customer-care brand. 'We will continue to expand our reach in China with our Mopar distribution facility in Shanghai playing a key role in the process.'

At the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, Mopar will display an accessorized Chrysler 300 Ruyi Design Concept, Jeep® Wrangler Artic and Fiat® Freemont.

'Nearly two-thirds of consumers who are in the market to purchase a new vehicle will consider the availability and scope of accessories before making a vehicle-buying decision,' Gorlier said. 'In Beijing, we will showcase our capabilities and communicate that Mopar offers proven, quality-tested parts and accessories for our vehicles.'

Following are 'Moparized' vehicles that will be on display at the show:

The Fiat Freemont is powered by state-of-the-art 2.0-liter MultiJet 2 engines, with variable geometry, available in 140 horsepower or 170 horsepower options, with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. The Freemont will soon be available in all-wheel drive versions with 170 horsepower 2.0-liter MultiJet 2 and 276 horsepower 3.6-liter petrol V-6 engines, both with automatic gearboxes.

'Moparized' Chrysler 300 Ruyi Design Concept

The Chrysler 300 Ruyi design concept was created to commemorate the return of the Chrysler brand to China. Cultural cues from the Chinese ruyi were the inspiration behind the vehicle. A traditional ruyi has a long S-shaped handle and a head fashioned like a cloud. Ruyi symbolize authority, prosperity and good luck in Chinese tradition.

Chinese ruyi shape was tastefully married into the interior and exterior of the Chrysler 300C, with a unique polished ruyi-shaped signature grille and 22-inch alloy wheels with spokes designed to reflect the curvature of a ruyi.

Following are Mopar accessories and performance parts on the vehicle:

• Cold-air intake

• Pedal cover kit

75 Years of Mopar

Mopar (a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts) was trademarked for antifreeze product in 1937. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s - the muscle-car era. The Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth 'package cars' equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of 'special parts' for super-stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division called Mopar Performance Parts to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use. The brand has expanded to include technical service and customer support.
