Chrysler 300C Launches for less than 26,000 UK Pounds
Chrysler Group has announced the price of this year's most-eagerly awaited saloon car - the Chrysler 300C.
Prices in the UK will start from 25,750 UK Pounds (OTR) for the 3.0-litre V-6 CRD and 3.5-litre V-6 and 32,995 UK Pounds (OTR) for the 5.7-litre V-8 HEMI.
In the UK, the right-hand drive Chrysler 300C will launch in October 2005 with the 5.7-litre V-8 HEMI and 3.5-litre V-6 petrol engines. The 3.0-litre V-6 CRD will arrive in the UK in January 2006 and the performance version - the 6.1-litre 300C SRT-8 saloon - arrives in March next year.
Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler Group in the UK, said: "The Chrysler 300C will bring some passion back to the E-segment, with a great looking, well-equipped, competitively-priced car. We don't see the Chrysler 300C competing directly with the big German brands - after all at under 26,000 UK Pounds we are nearly a third cheaper than these saloons!"
"Customers are increasingly looking for a practical car with good fuel economy and interior space but do not want to compromise on looks or outright performance. Everyone agrees that Chrysler 300C is a stunning car so we can expect to attract customers that are looking to make a major statement."
Standard features on the Chrysler 300C include Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and an all-speed Traction Control System, front and rear side-curtain airbags, xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, rain sensing windscreen wipers and a rear park assist system. Air-conditioning and heated leather driver and front passenger seats also come as standard on all vehicles in the range. The 300C 5.7-litre V-8 Hemi comes with an extra 3,175 UK Pounds of standard equipment (sunroof; GPS sat-nav with 6-disc CD; seven speaker premium sound system) compared to the other cars in the range.
In the UK, the Chrysler 300C is covered by Chrysler's three-year, 60,000 mile warranty. The 300C is built in Graz, Austria.
