Chrysler 300C (2012) - Automotive News

CAR GARAGE | Chrysler 300C (2012) | The new Chrysler 300C retains a unique position in the executive sector. By offering the type of engineering, design, materials and European driving dynamics buyers expect That, combined with American style, personality and value for money, the 2012 Chrysler 300C will appeal to the head and heart. The new 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine from Fiat Group Automobiles benefits' ground-breaking technology to Multijet 2 Provide a class-leading power and effortless compromise Between-saving fuel efficiency. Whether in Limited or Executive Guise, the Chrysler 300C is a very well equipped car. Ventilated front seats and heated rears, he UConnect infotainment system with Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, an 8.4-inch touch screen display, mirrors That Darken automatically to limit headlight glare, cruise control, and 18-inch wheels are standard on all the Limited models.

The Executive version has a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system, radar Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and a two-panel panoramic sunroof as well as the forward collision monitoring system and 20-inch alloy wheels. The more rigid construction also combines with a suite of electronic safety aids nearly 70 Ensure That the Chrysler 300C offers top-class safety in a supremely stylish package. Built by VM Motori and developed by Fiat Powertrain, this engine is a new design employing 2 Multijet Fiat's latest technology to help Reduced consumption, emissions and noise while yielding a class-leading power pulling. A graphite cast iron block with aluminum cylinder heads and a structural aluminum oil sump in two elements help Contribute to a total engine weight of 230kg. The sump has been designed like this to increase of the rigidity of the engine for improved quietness.

The engine features four valves per cylinder and has a compression ratio of 16.5:1 to give cleaner combustion and more power. Combustion is further optimized thanks to a turbulence control system fitted Between the intake system and combustion chamber. This supplies the best flow of water through the combustion chamber to optimize engine efficiency and exhaust emissions Reduced. As with the Fiat Group's award-winning smaller engines, the 3.0-liter employs the latest second-generation Multijet turbo diesel technology.  Improving the combustion process like this reduces particulate and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions sufficiently to Ensure the engine complies with strict Euro 5 legislation. The new Chrysler 300C features a five-speed automatic transmission. A transmission controller is calibrated to Prevent over-revving the engine while an adaptive electronic control increases engine responsiveness.

Icons illuminate in the mirror and an acoustic warning signal sounds if there is a car in the blind spot.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) on the Executive employs radar sensors located in the front to check the Chrysler 300C's approach speed to vehicles. ParkSense helps detect stationary objects behind the car and warns the driver with an acoustic signal. To Ensure the driver is never caught out by low pressures, Tyre Pressure Monitoring modules employs sensors in the valve stems of each wheel to send signals to the in-car computer.
