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.”
