New 2010 Chrysler 300C

As one of the most stylish and sought-after entry-level luxury sedans, the 2010 Chrysler 300C combines breathtaking performance and a wealth of amenities, besting many higher-priced competitors.

Get ready to be floored with the 360-horsepower, 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8, which is mated to a five-speed manual-shift automatic transmission. Power is sent to the ground via a two- or all-wheel drive system. The all-wheel drive system features a front-axle disconnect so you can enjoy improved fuel economy from reduced drivetrain drag, or enjoy rear-wheel drive dynamics like smoky burnouts and power slides. Fuel economy numbers of 16 mpg in the city and 23-25 mpg on the highway are competitive with Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Impala and turbocharged Ford Taurus.

The 300C boasts not only brute power, but beautiful, upscale lines and brilliant finish. The exterior beauty is matched by classy interior appointments, including upscale leather seats. Power driver and front passenger seats are heated, while dual zone climate control, leather trim for the shift knob and steering wheel, adjustable pedals, CD player and Boston Acoustics stereo further enhance the luxury interior. A sunroof, TV with video game connectivity, heated rear seats and navigation system are options that take the 300C to the next level. The UConnect® multimedia system with 6.5-inch display screen features phone and portable audio device connectivity, and can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot so you can surf the web on your laptop from the comfort of your 300’s interior.

Wide open interior spaces are highlighted by rear headroom legroom that bests the Cadillac CTS and STS, Ford Taurus and Infiniti M45. All other interior metrics are very competitive.

Optional head and front-side airbags complement dual front airbags to provide excellent occupant protection. Coupled with the great chassis and body, the airbags help the 2010 Chrysler 300C achieve Five-Star front impact ratings from NHTSA; side impact ratings are not available.

Not many cars can brag about having a 360-horsepower engine, and those that do have high price tags – except the 2010 Chrysler 300C. This full-size sedan offers a gorgeous interior and exterior, wonderful luxury and technology features, and a big V-8 engine that kicks like a horse, all for a sub-luxury price.
