2010 Chrysler 300

2010 Chrysler 300 — Luxury, Comfort And Legendary Value

New for 2010:
• Keyless Entry/Keyless Go (standard on 300C)

• ParkSense® rear park assist system (standard on 300C)

• Chromed door handles and front- and rear-fascia accents (standard on 300 Touring)
Heated chromed mirrors (standard on 300 Touring)

• Supplemental Side-curtain Air Bags (standard on all models)

With its refined interior, premium technology features and unmistakable design, the 2010 Chrysler 300 continues to offer unmatched style, performance and excitement for any budget.
For those seeking the combination of maximum fuel economy with the panache of the Chrysler 300C, the new 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring offers a fuel-efficient 2.7-liter V-6 engine, providing 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, and even more upscale enhancements, including chromed mirrors and door handles, fog lamps and available steering wheel audio controls.

Úpping the ante, the 2010 Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition tops the model lineup. Its legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine with fuel-saving Multi-displacement System (MDS) technology produces 360 horsepower (268 kW), 389 lb.-ft. (527 N•m) of torque and 25 mpg highway capability. Premium amenities, including leather seating with suede inserts, Poplar Burl real-wood trim, Keyless Entry/Keyless Go, Boston Acoustics 5.1 surround sound with Digital Signal Processor (DSP), 20-inch chromed wheels, and performance steering, suspension and shocks, make the 300C Heritage Edition the ultimate Chrysler 300.

And for customers who are looking for even more all-weather capability from their Chrysler 300 sedan, all-wheel-drive models feature an active transfer case and front-axle disconnect. No other major manufacturer offers these two independent technologies together. The unique system seamlessly transitions between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with no driver intervention. When all-wheel drive is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy on all-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 models, while still providing the outstanding performance and handling inherent in rear-wheel drive.

The Chrysler Brand: Provocative Designs Engineered for Passionate Living

The Chrysler brand continues to delight customers with distinctive designs, craftsmanship, intuitive innovation and technology — all at an extraordinary value — since the company was founded in 1926.
'The 2010 Chrysler spring collection vividly illustrates the Chrysler brand's reinvigoration of the connection between refinement and excitement, innovation and involvement, comfort and couture, and people and the road,' said Olivier Francois, President and CEO, Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. 'Chrysler's new 300 S6 and 300 S8 models take the most awarded vehicle in its class, to a more passionate and youthful direction; the new Chrysler Town & Country Walter P. Chrysler Signature Series, the most innovative family vehicle on the road today, offers a great palette to show how stylish our minivans can be while delivering the innovations and irreplaceable functionality Chrysler minivans are known for; and the Chrysler PT Cruiser Couture Edition, gives one of the most timeless vehicles on the road today an added dose of sophistication to its already head-turning good looks.'
The defining face of Chrysler vehicles features a winged Chrysler badge, a distinctive grille, and sculpted hood. Beyond these signature elements, each Chrysler vehicle is stunning, innovative and alluring in a unique way.





Both the Chrysler 300 S6 and 300 S8 models add a very serious, low-key look to the bold proportions of the Chrysler 300. Starting with its 300 roots, the 300 S6 and 300 S8 models trade-in their full-chromed grilles and fascia accents for blacked-out grilles with chromed surround and body-color fascia accents. New darkened headlamp bezels keep up the low-key look, while cleanly 'shaved' doors with body-color mirrors and large 20-inch polished face wheels with painted pockets, hint at the 300 S6 and 300 S8's handling potential. Chromed door handles, belt molding and daylight opening surrounds foreshadow the luxurious appointments within the vehicle.

The cabins of the new Chrysler 300 S6 and 300 S8 models exude a serious, athletic-interior theme. A uniquely designed steering wheel with carbon weave is accented with red stitching and brushed silver spokes. Beautifully bolstered Dark Slate Gray leather front seats are track-tested and feature an embroidered '300 S' logo on the seatback. Specially perforated Dark Slate Gray suede fills the front and rear seats, seatback and seat cushion with hints of red accent beneath. The Dark Slate interior theme continues around the driver and passenger side and is highlighted with brushed aluminum accents on the instrument panel center stack, center console side trim and upper-door trim. Carbon-weave door-pull handles with red accent stitching finish off the interior of both 300 S6 and 300 S8 models.



Designed to deliver excitement, the Chrysler 300 S6 and 300 S8 models feature a performance-tuned suspension with performance shocks, steering, all-season performance Goodyear Eagle RSA tires and performance brake linings.

The 2010 Chrysler 300 S6 delivers its driving excitement through a fuel-efficient, 250 horsepower (186 kW) 24-valve 3.5-liter high-output V-6 engine with Auto Stick, capable of 25 highway mpg.

Chrysler 300 S8 offers exceptional performance with the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, which generates 360 horsepower (268 kW) and 389 lb.-ft. (527 N•m) of torque and features fuel-saving Multi-displacement System (MDS) technology that provides as much as a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy. Mated to a quality-proven five-speed Auto Stick transmission, the 2010 Chrysler 300 S8 delivers 25 highway mpg.

The 2010 Chrysler 300 S6 and 300 S8 will arrive at Chrysler dealerships in the spring of 2010.
