The great American sedan that is running on our road is back in the United States, Australia and the UK ...! Where is the France in all this? Probably far down the list of priorities after the fall of the Lancia Thema ...
On the menu, so Chrysler is back with a recognizable body at first
glance and capsized so much heart (or the reverse ...), ie massive right
and with big wheels!
But in the real radius news, linger for a moment on the front grille
which seems to have become shy, thinner, with a more discreet logo than
what we had experienced. In short, it is less imposing than before.
However, the new lenses are impressively with integrated daytime
running lights and projectors that reduce the total height of the block,
giving a sleeker look (but still impressive): a good basis for a sporty
version in picture of former SRT8!
In profile, the line remains essentially the same, except for the large
ridge starting from the front wheel and ends in the light units which
is more drawn to the rule as it was the case.
Not surprisingly, new 20 "rims come in the catalog, size being in the pure American cliché: bigger is, the better!
motor end the 3.6L Pentastar V6 that is found on the Jeep Cherokee 5.7L HEMI V8 and 363 hp are in the game.
It also announces a consumption of 7.59 / 100km on motorways (US tests
different test protocols), which seems to stick to reality if we
consider that this V8 can pass in 4-cylinder mode once it reaches
cruising speed to avoid unnecessarily burning fuel.
Everything is fitted with an automatic transmission to 8 TorqueFlite
reports (which is actually a ZF 8HP, gearbox already well established on
the market). Chrysler announces an unbeatable combined fuel consumption cycle for a V6 with its Pentastar. The UK has the right to its diesel with a V6 CRD 236 hp to 540 Nm of torque, but coupled with a 5-speed only.
The chassis is based on the older generation (platform that was shared
with some Mercedes-Benz W210) with running gear completely revisited.
Let us not expect something furiously rigid with the precision of a
Mazda MX-5, but it will make the daily work and take you calmly walk
through an interior with Nappa leather (understand by that a leather
very soft and relatively flexible), a 7 "screen between the counters,
another screen of 8.4" on the center console, paddle shifters and a
wheel interfacing automatically to control the gearbox.
A "sport" button stiffens the suspension, tighten management and
calibrate the transmission so that it is primarily a propulsion on
models 4WD.
2015 requires the new 300C is entitled to its share of connectivity to
transform what the car Wi-Fi hotspot, a long list of Uconnect
applications and dictation of text messages (the list is probably longer
than that, but fault output in France we can not get behind the wheel
to detail you all ...)
The safety is not set aside with lane assist, adaptive cruise control,
collision avoidance even running at full speed, automatic call-out in
case of accidents, etc ...
The production starts during the fourth quarter 2014 Canadian plant in Brampton (Ontario). As for the US tariffs, they start at $ 31,395 for the 300 Limited before leveling off at $ 42,395 for the Platinum 300C. Our English friends have the V6 CRD diesel version at £ 30,020 fee.
