CHRYSLER 300C 3.5

A Choice Before the New Model's Release
Since its debut in 2004, the 300C has been a huge hit, praised for its powerful American sedan style, comprehensive features, and reasonable price. With dimensions of 5,010mm (L) x 1,890mm (W) x 1,490mm (H) and a wheelbase of 3,050mm, it's a considerably large body for Japan. Despite a model change scheduled for later this year, it remains a highly popular model.
To this Chrysler 300C lineup, a new 3.5L left-hand drive model has been added, following the 5.7 HEMI left-hand drive and 3.5L right-hand drive models released in June 2010.
The 3.5-liter V6 DOHC engine in this Chrysler 300C 3.5 left-hand drive model produces a maximum output of 183kW (249 ps) at 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 340Nm (34.7 kgm) at 3,800 rpm. The fuel economy in 10-15 mode is 8.3 km/ℓ.
Moving to the interior, standard features include a power glass sunroof, real wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel with California Walnut trim, real wood console bezel/glove box/door trim, power tilt and telescoping steering with memory function, and an HDD navigation system with a 7-inch WVGA touch panel monitor. Additionally, the chrome, heated power folding mirrors feature a reverse tilt function and an auto-dimming function for the driver's seat, among other comprehensive amenities.
Three body colors are available: Brilliant Black Crystal, Bright Silver Metallic, and Mineral Gray Metallic.
This Chrysler 300C 3.5 left-hand drive model is priced at a reasonable and strategic 3.98 million yen.
