Chrysler 300C
Chrysler strikes oil with 300C
Latest US import promises performance car looks and diesel economy.
02nd March 2008
Want muscle car looks without V8 running costs? Chrysler thinks it has the answer: the 300C SRT-Design.
Powered by a 3.0-litre diesel, the pumped-up executive model offers all the style of the petrol SRT-8. But it promises nearly double the economy – up from 20mpg to 35mpg.
What’s more, the new oil-burner puts out 215g/km of CO2 – which is 115g/km less than the 300C SRT-8.
As you can see, the styling hasn’t been toned down in the hunt for bet-ter efficiency. The SRT-Design model features 20-inch alloys, wide wheel-arches, a beefy bodykit and an eye-catching chrome mesh grille.
Inside, standard equipment is generous, with satellite navigation, leather sports seats and carbon fibre trim all included. The launch of the diesel-powered SRT-Design coincides with a facelift across the 300C line-up, and the new variant is priced at £32,495 in saloon form, while the practical estate costs £33,245.
If you pick the high-performance petrol SRT-8, you’ll pay £40,995. The cheapest diesel model in the revised range weighs in at £27,495.
