Most cars are built; the Chrysler 300C was sculpted with a style and in an ascetic framework that is unlike any other luxury sedan.
The base price is around $37,000, and when loaded with genuine California Walnut wood trim, and wood/leather-wrapped steering wheel and wood shift knob, it still is less than $41,000. A navigation system with GPS, rear seat video entertainment system, and Unconnect® hands-free communication are also part of that optional package.
The Chrysler 300C AWD has a 5.7-liter Hemi R multi displaced engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The dark slate/light Graystone interior compliments the silver steel metallic clear coat exterior paint in eye appeal as well as helping to keep the 300C cool in the hottest of climates. These colored textures help the air conditioner with dual zone auto temp control work its best to provide passenger comfort.
Power is the major word in describing the amenities in the Chrysler 300C. A few of these amenities are: Power rack- and-pinion steering, windows with front one-touch up and down feature, door-locks that are speed sensitive, accessory delay, adjustable pedals with memory, tilt/telescope steering column with memory, and power front seats.
The Chrysler 300C has an AM/FM radio, a single disc CD player, and auxiliary input for MP3 capability. The V8 engine produces great horsepower whether in heavy traffic or on the open road while providing fuel efficiency measured at 17 mpg in town and 28 mpg on the highway. Standard four-wheel disc brakes, all-season tires, and an available Electronic Stability Program add to this advanced technological package.
The all-new Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system takes the concept of speed control to the next level. Instead of simply holding a set speed, ACC uses LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging); capable of tracking other vehicles as far away as 328 feet, to adjust vehicle speed as traffic flow changes. Thus, it amazingly keeps pace a set distance from the car in front of you, making relaxed long-distance cruising possible. The driver can easily monitor the system from the electronic Vehicle Information Center, as well as override it at any time.
The Chrysler 300C is elegant in looks and contoured with a modern flair that makes it easily identifiable from the front or the rear. The 300C drips elegance that reminds other drivers of its grace, while the driver enjoys the smooth ride and large, proportioned, comfort-zoned interior.
