Chrysler 300 drives into NZ

Written by 

THE NEW Chrysler 300 launched in New Zealand this month in three model variants – the 300 Limited, 300C and 300C Luxury.

Each is available with either a 3.6L V6 Pentastar engine with 8-speed transmission or a VM Motori 3.0L turbo diesel with 5-speed auto.

“The 2012 Chrysler 300 is built on the idea that luxury feels better earned – that those who worked hard to achieve their place in the world should demand as much as is demanded of them; this is the mandate from Chrysler Group LLC and the basis on which we formulated the Driven by the Driven campaign for our New Zealand audience.” said Todd Groves, head of Chrysler brand, Sime Darby Automobiles NZ Ltd.”

Standard highlights across the line up start with the entry level 300 Limited priced from $57,990 in petrol and $62,990 in diesel and offering standard features like 18 inch aluminium wheels, power heated mirrors, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps, dual chrome exhaust tips and an 8.4inch interactive media centre, Bluetooth capabilities, leather wrapped steering wheel and acoustic enhancements. Chrysler’s mid-range offering in the 300C has extra features and is priced at $62,990 in petrol and $67,990 in diesel. Upgrades include Garmin navigation, heated and ventilated seats with leather heated/cooled cup holders, Smartbeam headlamps and rain sensing wipers.

The 300C ‘luxury’ has premium nappa leather-wrapped interior trim, 9-speaker sound system, platinum chrome accents to the seven vein grille, door handles front/rear fascia accents and touring suspension with 20 inch polished aluminium wheels.  Price is from $67,990 in petrol and $73,990 in diesel.
