THE new 2012 Chrysler 300 has arrived in the region and promises to power its way into the hearts of discerning drivers wanting a stylish US-built executive sedan offering world-class technological innovation and quality.

Now boasting eight-speed automatic transmission its makers say it offers ‘stylistic distinction and premium E-segment features at a legendary value’.

“The 300C embodies Chrysler’s vision of what a large executive sedan should be,” said Jeffrey Barrett, general manager at Ahmed Zayani & Sons. “The 300 series sedans with rear-wheel drive appeal to a wide audience base, thanks to their blend of luxury and performance.

“It embodies the very best of Chrysler’s inherent qualities of style and executive comfort coupled to rear-wheel drive performance. The 300C and 300S takes these virtues to an even higher level to provide discerning customers in the Middle East with more luxury, performance and style.”

Combined with the award-winning 292 horsepower 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine, passengers will experience world-class levels of refinement due to small, evenly spaced ratios that provide quicker acceleration and smoother shifts, its engineers promise.

Quicker shifts are possible on the new Chrysler 300S V6 model as a result of a new Sport shift mode. When the driver chooses to let the transmission shift in Sport mode, gear changes are quicker and revs are held higher for even more performance-oriented acceleration and higher shift dynamics.

Designed to be the most luxurious Chrysler flagship sedan ever, the Chrysler 300C Executive Series combines ultra-premium leather with world-class refinement and handling, state-of-the-art safety and connectivity features and the legendary 363 horsepower 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology.

Exclusive features found on the Chrysler 300C Executive Series interior include either Mochachino or Black Poltrona Frau Foligno leather-wrapped instrument panel, cluster brow, centre console side panels and upper front- and rear-door panels.

On the exterior, the Chrysler Executive flagship replaces chromed fascia, mirror and door handle accents with a unique platinum chrome finish for an even more upscale look. Topping off the unique exterior is a platinum-chrome finished grille surround with platinum-chrome mesh grille for a truly distinctive appearance (late availability).

Available in rear-wheel drive, the 2012 Chrysler 300C Executive Series models will be available at Chrysler dealerships throughout the Middle East shortly.

The car has also been named a ‘Top Safety Pick’ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, achieving its highest rating. The body recognises vehicles with outstanding crashworthiness in front, side, rollover and rear crashes.

The Chrysler 300C starts at BD17,000. For details contact Ahmed Zayani & Sons’ Zinj showroom on Sh. Salman Highway or call 17238822 / 369848944.
