The replacement for the most acclaimed American car of the decade, the 2011 Chrysler 300 hits the road with crisp styling, advanced features and a more luxurious interior.
The 300's big grille features horizontal bars that look like stylized aircraft wings. Chrysler calls the grille's rich finish "liquid chrome." Fender flares appear to rise above the hoodline and trunk. Keyhole-shaped headlights feature LED running lights.
The 300 will come with either Chrysler's new 292-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 or a 363-horsepower 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Both engines mate with a five-speed automatic transmission.
The optional all-wheel drive system disconnects the front axle from the driveline when rear-drive provides sufficient traction. Chrysler says the system will improve fuel economy 5% over competitive AWD systems.
Other new features include a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen for the radio and other systems, blind-spot and cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and a capless fuel filler.
