Chrysler 300 C Sedan - a review
CHRYSLER 300C SEDAN
The Chrysler 300C is a blend of the past and the present, of style and substance. It is truly a landmark vehicle for the American automotive industry. Not only has Chrysler brought back the legendary HEMI engine, it has also reinstated rear-wheel drive architecture in its new concept car, the Chrysler 300C. The Chrysler 300 series got its name from the engine horsepower output. As Chrysler celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary Chrysler 'letter series', the Chrysler 300 sports a particularly striking design, with a long, classic hood and a prominent grille. The interior of the Chrysler 300C has a handcrafted feel, which complements the equally dynamic exterior. With added extras, such as tortoiseshell accents on the steering wheel rim, gear stick and door pulls, reflect a feeling of opulence.
ENGINE
Tucked under the long, masculine hood of the Chrysler 300C is a 5.7-litre, HEMI�, V8 engine that produces 340hp at 5,000rpm and 390lb/ft torque at 4,000rpm. The car can go from 0-60 in 6.3sec. The new HEMI engine has been engineered to deliver outstanding performance, high fuel economy and minimal noise. The engine uses two sets of four cylinders, each in a V configuration. This engine incorporates multi-displacement system technology, meaning it can turn off the fuel consumption in one set of cylinders. This provides a 20% increase in fuel efficiency. The engine uses an electronically controlled, five-speed automatic transmission, with autostick for manually-selected gear changes.
The HEMI was named after its hemispherical combustion chambers. The first HEMI engine was produced 50 years ago for the now-revered Chrysler 'letter series' cars. The V8 engine used for the Chrysler 300C is smaller, lighter and uses technologies such as electronic throttle control and MDS to give an outstanding performance with improved fuel economy. The HEMI demonstrates incredible fuel economy, with consumption averaging 17mpg / 25mpg in city / motorway driving conditions respectively.
COMFORT
The well-equipped interior gives the 300C an opulent look. Tortoiseshell accents are used on the steering-wheel rim, gear stick and interior door handles for the first time. The two-tone colour scheme gives the interiors a spacious feeling. The 300C is equipped with a tilt-telescoping steering wheel, which adjusts for both tilt and reach. With a new DVD-based navigation system that features a colour display, AM/FM stereo, MP3 player, six-disc CD system and a navigation system, the travelling experience is both informative and entertaining. The seats are adorned with soft leather and the rear seats fold down for further luggage space.
MARKET RATIONALE
The Chrysler 300C model marks the return of the legendary HEMI engine. The 5.7-litre, HEMI V8 engine has been re-engineered to create a fuel-efficient powerhouse. This power is transferred to the road via a rear-drive architecture, complemented by 18in tyres and a fully independent suspension system. Even snow-belt customers can drive safely, using the all-speed traction control and electronic stability programme. The exterior styling of the 300C is domineering and the interior is both luxurious and comfortable. An exciting blend of style, performance, comfort and fuel economy makes the Chrysler 300C a landmark vehicle in the American automotive industry.
