Dodge came to Argentina in the early 20th century with imported cars and trucks. In 1960, it partnered with Fevre-Basset as a local manufacturer. The first vehicle made in Argentina was the D-100 "Sweptline" pickup.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/d/dodge_pick_up.htm#sweptile |title=Dodge Sweptline |publisher=Coche Argentino |language=es |access-date=August 17, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150821234742/http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/d/dodge_pick_up.htm#sweptile |archive-date=August 21, 2015 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Between 1961 and 1980, a variety of trucks were produced, including the D-400/DP-400,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar/2012/09/dodge-ddp-400.html |title=Camión Argentino: Dodge D/DP-400 |website=camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar |date=September 6, 2012 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref> D-500<ref>{{cite web|url= http://camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar/2016/02/dodge-d-500-4x4.html |title=Camión Argentino: Dodge D-500 4x4|first=Matias|last=Lerch|date=February 24, 2014 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref>/DP-500,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar/2012/09/dodge-ddp-500.html |title=Camión Argentino: Dodge D/DP-500 |work=camionargentino |date=March 22, 2014 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref> DP600,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar/2012/06/dodge-dp-600.html |title=Camión Argentino: Dodge DP-600 |work=camionargentino |date=March 12, 2013 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref> DD900<ref>{{cite web|url= http://camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar/2012/09/dodge-dd-900.html |title=Camión Argentino: Dodge DD-900 |work=camionargentino |date=September 16, 2012 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref> and DD1000 (the last two with one curiosity: the air-cooled [[Deutz AG|Deutz]] engine rather Perkins or Chrysler<ref>{{cite web|url= http://camionargentino.blogspot.com.ar/2012/08/dodge-dd-1000.html |title=Camión Argentino: Dodge DD-1000 |work=camionargentino |date=May 16, 2014 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref>). Passenger cars were also produced, namely the [[Plymouth Valiant|Valiant I and II]], and the local versions of the 1966 [[Dodge Dart]] (called Valiant III and IV). In 1971, the Dodge 1500, a rebadged [[Hillman Avenger]] from the United Kingdom was introduced. In 1982, production of Dodge vehicles ceased when German company [[Volkswagen]] bought the Fevre factory.

In Argentina, the name "Polara" was used to refer to a series of vehicles developed based on the fourth-generation North American [[Dodge Dart#1967|Dodge Dart]]. These cars were manufactured between 1968 and 1980, by the subsidiary Chrysler-Fevre Argentina S.A.<ref name="Chrysler Argentina ">{{cite web|url= http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/d/dodge_sedan_cupe.htm |title=Chrysler Argentina S.A., Dodge Coronado and Polara specifications |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111115144202/http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/d/dodge_sedan_cupe.htm |date=May 18, 2009 |language=es |archive-date=November 15, 2011 |access-date=January 12, 2018}}</ref>

In 1993, Dodge began marketing cars and pick-ups directly in Argentina. Currently, both the Journey and the Ram are available to Argentine customers.

===Asia===
Dodge entered the Japanese market in mid-2007 and re-entered the Chinese market in late 2007. [[Soueast Motors]] of China assembled the Caravan for the Chinese market. Dodge marketed its vehicles in South Korea in 2004, starting with the Dakota. Dodge vehicles are no longer marketed in China, Japan, and South Korea. In the [[Philippines]], Dodge vehicles have been distributed by Auto Nation Group (formerly known as CATS Motors) since the 2000s. Dodge vehicles are also distributed in some Middle Eastern countries.

===Australia===
[[File:1960 Dodge PD4 Phoenix Sedan (33144799872).jpg|thumb|Australian produced 1960 [[Dodge Phoenix]]]]

Vehicles were produced in [[Australia]] under the Dodge name by [[Chrysler Australia]] from the 1950s through to the 1970s.

Dodge re-entered the Australian market in 2006 with the [[Dodge Caliber|Caliber]], their first offering since the AT4/D5N trucks in 1979 and the first Dodge passenger car to be marketed in Australia since the [[Dodge Phoenix|Phoenix]] sedan was discontinued in 1973. The second model to be introduced was the [[Dodge Nitro|Nitro]], with the [[Dodge Avenger|Avenger]] and [[Dodge Journey|Journey]] followed. Dodge chose not to use the full model lines and engines available to them, the 2.7&nbsp;L V6 being available in the Journey and Avenger instead of the 3.2&nbsp;L in the North American versions. However, diesel engines were introduced in all their cars.
Following the Global Financial Crisis, Chrysler introduced the facelifted model of the Caliber and discontinued the Avenger imports. From early 2012 on, model year 2010 cars were available. By early 2012 no new cars were imported into Australia aside from the facelifted 2012 Journey.

There were rumors that Dodge cars would be re-badged as Fiats in the Australian market as was the case in Europe. The Dodge nameplate continued due to consistent sales of the Journey.<ref>{{cite web|first=Bruce |last=Newton |url= http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/2012/fiat-punto-heading-back-to-australia-32839 |title=Fiat Punto heading back to Australia |website=carpoint.com.au |access-date=August 17, 2014}}</ref> However, the brand was discontinued in the Australian market after 2016.<ref>{{cite web |last=Maclean |first=Andrew |title=Dodge brand dropped from Australia - Dodge disappears from Australia |url= https://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/dodge-brand-dropped-from-australia-20161014-gs2od1 |website=Drive |access-date=6 December 2019 |language=en-au |date=25 October 2016}}</ref>

The Dodge Kingsway was also assembled in [[India]], by [[Premier Automobiles Limited]], until the late 1950s.

===Brazil===
In Brazil, Dodge cars were produced between 1969 and 1981 with the models Dart, Charger, Magnum, LeBaron (all powered by the same 318&nbsp;cid V8 engine), and the compact 1800/Polara, based on the British [[Hillman Avenger]]. The manufacturer was acquired by Volkswagen in 1981. In 1998, the Dakota pickup started production in a new plant in [[Campo Largo, Paraná]] by [[Mercedes-Benz]], which belongs to its former partner [[Daimler AG]]. It was built there until 2001 with petrol and diesel engines and regular, extended, and crew cabs. In 2010, Dodge started sales of the imported pickup Ram 2500. The model portfolio is being expanded, starting with the Journey crossover for the 2009 model year. The marque ended the sales of its last product, the [[Dodge Journey|Journey]] in 2019, remaining only to serve the existing customers.

===Canada===
In Canada, the Dodge lineup of cars started down the road to elimination along with the Plymouth line when in 1988 the [[Dodge Dynasty]] was sold in Canada as the Chrysler Dynasty and sold at both Plymouth and Dodge dealers. Similarly, the new [[Dodge Intrepid]], the Dynasty's replacement, was sold as the Chrysler Intrepid.

For 2000, the new Neon became the Chrysler Neon. The Chrysler Cirrus and Mitsubishi-built Dodge Avenger were dropped. Dodge trucks, which have been sold at Canadian Plymouth dealers since 1973, continued without change. All Plymouth-Chrysler and Dodge-Chrysler dealers became Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealers.

The diluting of the Chrysler name did not go well in Canada, especially as the nameplate had been pushed as a luxury line since the 1930s. For 2003, the revamped Neon appeared in Canada as the Dodge SX 2.0. Since then, all new Dodge models have been sold in Canada under the Dodge name.

===Europe===
Dodge started assembling lorries (trucks) in the United Kingdom from imported parts in 1922. In 1933 it began to manufacture a British chassis at its works in [[Kew]], using American engines and gearboxes.<ref>{{cite web|author=doctor colin |url= http://www.dodge50.co.uk/dodgehistory.htm |title=1922 to 1983 a brief history of Dodge in the U.K. |website=Dodge50.co.uk |access-date=August 17, 2014}}</ref>

}}

During the [[Second World War]], Dodge Kew was part of the [[London Aircraft Production Group]], building fuselage sections for [[Handley Page Halifax]] bombers. The pre-war and wartime truck range was replaced by the [[Dodge 100 "Kew"]] truck (1949–1957), nicknamed the "parrot nose" due to the sculpted lines of its bonnet. Subsequent normal-control Dodges built at Kew were the 200 series (1957–1963) and the 400 series (1963–1965). The 400 series was a version of the American [[Dodge D series|D series]] medium-duty models. Also built at Kew were the [[Cab over|cab-over]] [[Dodge 300|300 series]] (1957–1965) and its successor the [[Dodge 500|500 series/K-series]] (1964–1978) tilt-cab. In 1964 Chrysler acquired its first stake in the British [[Rootes Group]] and it was decided to consolidate all truck production at Rootes' factory in Dunstable. British assembly of the 400 series was discontinued due to declining sales of normal-control trucks, and production of the 500 series was transferred to Dunstable in 1967.

In some export markets, British-built Dodge trucks used the [[Fargo Trucks|Fargo]] or [[DeSoto (automobile)|DeSoto]] marques, and the situation was further complicated after the takeover of the Rootes Group whose commercial vehicles were sold under the [[Commer]] and [[Karrier]] marques. Some Dodge 500s were given Commer badges, whilst the [[Dodge 100 "Commando"|100 series "Commando"]] light truck (1970–1989) developed by Rootes was initially marketed under all five marques. In the UK market, Commers were usually lighter than Dodges, whereas the Karrier marque tended to be used on vehicles sold to public sector operators such as local authorities. Some of the smaller Commer/Karrier vans were also sold as Fargos in export markets. In 1976 Chrysler Europe rationalized its marques and thereafter all the British-built commercial vehicles were sold as Dodges or (increasingly rarely) Karriers. This included the smaller [[Commer FC|Commer SpaceVan]] (1960–1983) and [[Commer Walk-Thru]] (1961–1979), which became Dodges for their final years. The van and pick-up versions of Chrysler Europe's French-built [[Simca 1100]] were also branded as Dodges in Britain from 1976, although they remained Simcas elsewhere (and became Talbots in Britain after 1979).

American Chrysler Corporation cars, including some Dodge models, were assembled from [[Knock-down kit|CKD]] kits at various locations in Europe until the 1970s, including Kew (1920s-30s), Antwerp (1926–1958), and Rotterdam (1958–1970), but sales volumes were low as even 'compact' American cars like the [[Dodge Dart]] were enormous [[gas-guzzler]]s by European standards. However, [[protectionist]] policies in some countries encouraged small local manufacturers to license-build CKD models, including [[AMAG Automobil- und Motoren|AMAG]] in Switzerland (building Chryslers and Dodges 1948–1972) and [[Barreiros (manufacturer)|Barreiros]] in Spain (building Dodge Darts from 1965 as the Barreiros Dart). By 1969 Chrysler had acquired full control of Barreiros, and Darts were being exported to other European countries under the Dodge name (precipitating the closure of the Rotterdam plant). From 1970 the Spanish-built Dart was replaced by the Barreiros/Dodge 3700 which remained in production until 1977. The Dodge cars were a relatively small part of the Madrid factory's output, which was dominated by smaller Simca-designed cars and Barreiros-designed heavy-duty trucks. From 1972 such trucks were sold as the [[Dodge 300]] (though unrelated to the earlier British 300 series), which was available as 4×2, 6×4, 8×2, and 8×4 rigids, as well as 4×2 semi-trailer tractors.

Following Chrysler Europe's collapse in 1977 and the sale of their assets to [[Peugeot]], the van and truck range and the associated factories in Dunstable and Madrid were quickly passed on to [[Renault Trucks|Renault Véhicules Industriels]]. Chrysler licensed the Dodge name to be used on Renault trucks sold in certain European markets – most notably the United Kingdom. However, the only subsequent new model to carry the Dodge name was the [[Dodge 50 series]] (1979–1992), which replaced the earlier Walk-Thru and was widely used in Britain by utility companies, the military, and as a minibus, but was rarely seen outside the UK. Thereafter all-new models were Renaults, and in 1987 the Dodge name was dropped from the remaining inherited models (50 and Commando), which became Renaults for their last few years of production.

Dodge vehicles would not return to Europe until the introduction of the Neon, badged as a Chrysler, in the mid-1990s.

Chrysler reintroduced the Dodge marque to Europe on a broad scale in 2006, with a lineup consisting of North American-built Caliber, Avenger, Viper SRT-10, Nitro, and [[Dodge Journey]] cars and SUVs, but this proved to be a short-lived return due to the onset of the [[Great Recession]] and the takeover of Chrysler by Fiat. In 2010 the Dodge marque was pulled from the UK due to poor sales<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/19/dodge-stops-selling-nitro-caliber-in-uk/ |title=Dodge stops selling Nitro, Caliber in UK |website=autoblog.com |date=May 19, 2010 |access-date=August 17, 2014}}</ref> and on June 1, 2011, it was dropped from the rest of Europe. All of the Dodge models were discontinued in Europe except the Dodge Journey, which became the [[Fiat Freemont]] (and which was not available in the right-hand-drive Ireland or UK markets).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autofacil.es/problemas-coche/2011/07/11/pasa-tienes-chrysler-o-dodge/7432.html |title=Qué pasa si tienes un Chrysler o Dodge |publisher=Autofácil (Luike) |date=July 11, 2011 |access-date=July 30, 2015 |archive-date=July 11, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150711101411/http://www.autofacil.es/problemas-coche/2011/07/11/pasa-tienes-chrysler-o-dodge/7432.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Dodge marque was reintroduced to many European markets in 2019.

===Mexico===
In Mexico, the [[Hyundai Accent]], [[Hyundai Atos]], and [[Hyundai Porter|Hyundai H100]] were branded as "Dodge", [[Dodge Attitude]], "Verna by Dodge", "Atos by Dodge" and "Dodge H100" respectively, and sold at Chrysler/Dodge dealers in the 2000s and early 2010s. Dodge and Hyundai ended the venture and Dodge began to sell rebadged and reworked Fiats and [[Mitsubishi Motors|Mitsubishi]].
