2011 chrysler 300 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The result is an american luxury car with room, comfort, power and presence. the 2011 chrysler 300 succeeds a model that was enormously successful, a big sedan with rear-wheel drive that served as the brand's flagship. Replacing it during a period of grave uncertainty at chrysler was a three-and-a-half-year program during which ownership changed three times, from cerberus to the federal government, through bankruptcy and then to fiat's control. Under those circumstances, it's something of a miracle that the replacement for the 300 came out as well as it did. for 2011, chrysler 300 looks much slicker. Aided by a new windshield design laid back three inches farther than the windshield on the original model, the 2011 chrysler 300 achieves a drag coefficient of only 0. 32. It looks bolder and classier than the previous version. The luxury group 3,250) includes luxury leather trimmed bucket seats, climate controlled front seats, heated rear seats, wood and leather wrapped heated steering wheel, power adjustable pedals, trunk mat, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power rear sunshade, 160-amp alternator, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, heated/cooled cupholder, driver memory for radio, seat, mirrors, pedals. chrysler 300c 38,170) and chrysler 300c awd 40,320) add garmin navigation, sirius travel link, power adjustable pedals, 12-way power front seats, heated front and rear seats, power tilt and telescope steering column, a performance brake package, and other features. options include the safety tec package 2,795) with adaptive hid headlights, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, park assist, homelink, rear foglight. The sound group 650) includes the alpine stereo system with 506 watts of power, nine speakers, 12 channels, and 7. 1 matrix surround sound. safety equipment on the chrysler 300 includes front, side and roof curtain air bags, and abs disc brakes with both ebd and brake assist, traction control, tire pressure monitoring system and stability control. All-wheel drive is available for more stable handling in slippery conditions. The safety tec package adds several safety features. walkaroundthe new, 2011 chrysler 300 looks like a large sedan version of the chrysler 200 midsize sedan and town & country minivan, with many of the same visual cues in the grille, headlamps, air intakes and front bumper. It's much sleeker and more rounded at the nose, but carries a much lower aerodynamic drag coefficient because of the rounded elements and the very laid-back windshield angle. Neither the windshield nor the rear window carries any bright moldings at all, unusual for a luxury car, but it works on the 300. the profile view of the new chrysler 300 shows much more pronounced wheel lips front and rear, and they are connected by a sharp new body line that starts at the trailing edge of the front wheel well and rises continuously to finish at the side of the tail lamps. That line, coupled with the larger side windows, narrower pillars, and a new sculpted line at the bottom of the doors, does wonders to slim down and muscle up the new look of the 300. at the rear, there's a cross-car chrome bar running across the bottom edge of the decklid between the new vertical led taillamps and a tall, flat rear bumper between the exhaust outlets that widens the look of the car at the rear. The execution of the led daytime running lights at the front and the led rear lamps is excellent. interiorthe 2011 chrysler 300 instrument panel, seat trims, door panels and door pockets have all been redesigned for more comfort and utility. The instrument panel, center stack, switches and controls have all been redone for the 2011 models. one of the more pleasant surprises in the new chrysler 300 is the amount of light entering the car through the larger windows and their thinner pillars. Chrysler says outward vision has been improved by 15 percent over the gun-slit side window design of the last 300, and that makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of just driving or riding in the car. This is a big car, and the interior roominess and dimensions front and rear are generous, to say the least. The interior environment is classy without being chromy, and the lighting and instrumentation are spot-on. although the seats and seat coverings have been redesigned for a more luxurious feel and appearance, the interior cube is the same as the outgoing 300, just over 122 cubic feet, making it a large car under epa rules. As for storage, the rated trunk capacity of the chrysler 300 is 16. 3 cubic feet. the instrument panel contains a bright new two-round-gauge package, and is much more pleasing to the eye after the redesign, with much-improved graphics and ice-blue accent lighting that is brilliantly legible day or night. The center portion of the instrument panel is dominated by the industry's largest touch-screen control system, an 8. 4-inch screen that comes in base and limited versions with audio and climate functions, but in 300c and 300c awd versions comes with a brilliantly colorful, large-icon garmin navigation system (optional on limited versions, not available on 300). The chrysler 300 with the 3. 6-liter v6 is rated 18/27 mpg city/highway by the federal government on regular gas. the chrysler 300c comes with the 5. 7-liter hemi v8 engine, generating 363 horsepower and 394 foot-pounds of torque, with a 5-speed automatic transmission. It's long on horsepower and high on torque for its size, very flexible and driveable in town and out on the highway with none of the roughness or graunchiness formerly associated with v6 engines. The v6 delivers 63 percent more power and 36 percent more torque than the old 2. 7-liter v6, and 42 more horsepower and 10 foot-pounds more torque than the old 3. 5-liter v6. Plus it sounds good at wide-open-thrott. Bucket Seats✔ Power Windows✔ AM/FM✔ Cruise Control✔ Navigation System✔ Air Conditioning✔ Bluetooth
