2007 Chrysler 300 in Hazlet, NJ - $5,101

With roots that include the breakthrough 1955 and 2005 models, the Chrysler 300 takes the nameplate’s style and sophistication to new levels. The Chrysler 300’s heritage-inspired styling combined with world-class execution makes the large sedan stand apart from the competition. The large Chrysler sedan is offered in four trim levels: 300 Limited, 300S, 300C and 300C Platinum. For 2017, the Chrysler brand is updating its bold and blacked-out Chrysler 300S model with even more athletic and aggressive styling appointments thanks to new Exterior and Interior Sport Appearance Packages.

Standard with the 300S V-8 and available on the 300S V-6, the new Exterior Sport Appearance Package features a more aggressively styled front fascia with larger air intakes and integrated LED fog lamps highlighting the 300S model’s world-class handling and levels of technology. These fog lamps are exclusive to the Exterior Sport Appearance Package and are comprised of a strip of eight horizontal LEDs each, for an even more distinctive signature look at night.

Nestled below the Gloss Black headlamps and dimensional grille is a larger body-color painted Mobius strip, which further emphasizes the flagship sedan’s road-holding width, while tying in the brand’s design DNA. The Chrysler 300S model’s signature proportions take on an even sportier aesthetic as 20-inch (19-inch with AWD) wheels flank the new package’s sculpted side sills.

At the rear, Chrysler 300S model’s new Exterior Sport Appearance Package adds a deck-lid spoiler to complement the dual exhausts and further the sedan’s athletic appearance.

Base power is generated by a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine bolted to an 845RE TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Upmarket models are equipped with the automaker’s legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 prime mover and joined to an 8HP70 TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick. All wheel drive is an available option.

The Chrysler 300 sedan rides on an enthusiast-inspired rear-wheel-drive architecture. The chassis of the large new Chrysler sedan is designed, engineered and fine-tuned to deliver world-class performance and efficiencies, thanks to its advanced technological solutions, which include: electric power steering; light weight axles for RWD and AWD configurations; and cast-aluminum axles and axle housing that provide weight savings and help to reduce parasitic friction.

Inside the passenger cabin is an interior wrapped in American style with world-class materials, craftsmanship and technology. Passengers are immersed in a sophisticated blend of hand-sculpted fluid shapes, high-quality and innovative material choices inspired by American cities, precision craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and thoughtful, clever features.

New for 2017, the Interior Sport Appearance Package takes the Chrysler 300S model’s sport-contoured leather seating and upgrades it for more cradling and comfort.

New premium perforated leather performance seats with high-bolstered contours in suede provide front seat passengers with more lateral support during spirited driving. In addition, these front performance seats are heated and ventilated – adding to the flagship sedan’s already lengthy list of convenience features.
