The Chrysler Valiant (VG) is an automobile which was produced in by Chrysler Australia from 1970 to 1971. It was the eighth Chrysler Valiant model to be produced in Australia.
The Valiant VG was a facelifted version of the Valiant VF with a restyled front grille and rectangular headlights. Sedans were also given new horizontal taillights. Rear end styling on the utility remained virtually the same for the third consecutive model series.
The VG range featured a newly introduced Australian built "Hemi" six cylinder engine which was claimed by Chrysler to be the most advanced engine of its kind in the world.
The Valiant (VG) was offered in 4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop, 5-door station wagon and 2-door coupe utility models.
Coupe utilities again used the previous VE series rear end styling with updated front end.
A heavy duty variant of the utility was marketed as the Dodge utility. (VG-E20)
A long wheelbase variant of the VG Valiant was also offered as the Chrysler VIP (VG-P41).
Four engines were offered.
The 215 cu in (3.5 L) "Hemi" was added to the lineup early in 1971, replacing the 225 cu in (3.7 L) "Slant 6".
Two transmissions were available.
A total 52,944 of VG series Valiants were built prior to the replacement of the VG by the Valiant VH in June 1971.
