2012 Chrysler 300

The 2012 Chrysler 300 ranks 5 out of 9 Affordable Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 14 published reviews and test drives of the Chrysler 300, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The 2012 Chrysler 300 offers a refined interior and a strong list of standard features. Inside, the Chrysler 300 continues to carry standard tech features in an attractive, comfortable package. In terms of price, the 2012 Chrysler 300 runs mid-pack.

Quite the contrary, the Chrysler 300 has gained quite a lot. By comparison, the CTS-V produces 556 horsepower out of its supercharged 6.2 liter engine, and there are a few BMW engines that produce as much as 400 horsepower from naturally-aspirated 4.4 liter engines. The 2012 Chrysler 300 is an attractive car, but the SRT-8 engine weighs on the front of the car like a brick.

Galeana Chrysler is proud to announce the arrival of the all new 2012 Chrysler 300 sedan. The outgoing Chrysler 300 was the most awarded, most recognized car in the history of the industry, and the most customized Chrysler model ever, the first Chrysler to adapt oversize wheels and tires, custom grilles, and other aftermarket custom touches.

For 2012, Chrysler 300 looks much slicker.

2012 Chrysler Delta

Good news for all car lovers. And for all those car lovers who still remember the Chrysler Delta hatchback model which was introduced in the 2010 Detroit motor show and surprised everyone is now ready to enter the UK auto market. Thus the company is now ready with the final model which will be soon available in the UK market.

The Chrysler Group of automakers has introduced their final production model, but this version is for the UK market and not for the US roads.

The Delta receives four engine options, beginning with a pair of 1.4L gasoline engines with the peppier of the two offering 140 horsepower.

The 2012 Chrysler Ypsilon is a luxury 3-door hatchback that takes the same design route as the larger Delta, using the Lancia architecture to derive this new B-segment compact. Finally, the top of the line engine for the 2012 Chrysler Ypsilon is the 1.3L MultiJet diesel, serving up 95 horsepower while also being among the most fuel efficient engines in the European market.

The Ypsilon is available with Fiat's 0.9-liter TwinAir, which earned International Engine of the Year honors. The Delta gets two different 1.4-liter options, including a 140-hp, 1.4-liter MultiAir four-cylinder.

It features sophisticated technologies that are entirely new to this size of car. The theme of versatility embues the entire Chrysler Delta range. Standard equipment is satisfyingly high. It also incorporates Linearisation Torque Feedback (LTF), Torque Transfer Control (TTC) and Drive Steering Torque (DST), all of which are designed to improve handling.

The Chrysler Delta has been developed to offer driver and passengers the levels of on-board comfort they might expect from a much larger, much more expensive car.

With the back seats in their forward position the 2012 Chrysler Delta still offers rear passengers a remarkable 930mm of leg room. The front seats on SE, SR and Limited models have the new Chrysler logo on the head restraints. It's not just the Chrysler Delta's generous level of interior space that has the hallmark of an executive car.

It does this through generating torque at the steering wheel courtesy of a continuous interaction between the electric power steering and the Absolute Handling System which controls the car's dynamics. The Delta also features a new TTC system designed to improve the transfer of torque to the driven wheels. The SR builds on that with two-zone automatic climate control, Alcantara leather upholstery, Cruise Control and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Both SE and SR trim levels of the Chrysler Delta also feature Nav versions which come equipped with Blue&Me™ Nav.

1.4 litre MultiAir
The second engine in the Delta range is a more powerful 140bhp 1.4 litre petrol which utilises FPT's award-winning MultiAir technology.

1.6 MultiJet 120bhp
The first diesel engine in the Chrysler Delta range is a 120bhp FPT developed MultiJet available to customers purchasing Delta SE and SR versions, with a 6 speed semi-automatic transmission available on SE versions.

2.0 MultiJet 165bhp
The most powerful engine in the Delta range is available exclusively on the Delta Limited.

2012 Chrysler Ypsilon

The new Chrysler Ypsilon is a mix of segment-leading style, cutting edge technology, eye-catching design and world-class engines. Now with the help of Fiat's experience and knowledge in the small and medium-sized car sectors, Chrysler can imbue compact, more environmentally friendly models with the luxurious character traits of its bigger cars.

Chrysler brand director Nigel Land says: "Through the launch of Ypsilon and Delta we now have a range that encompasses both the small and medium passenger car markets with vehicles that are notably well designed, ensuring that they really are credible alternatives to the mainstream. As well as bringing the Chrysler name to the supermini segment, the Ypsilon introduces a host of new technologies. For the first time in this class of car, buyers will have access to a raft of large car features such as Magic Parking, xenon headlights, Blue&Me™-TomTom LIVE and the Smart Fuel System.

The Chrysler Ypsilon has been designed to compete in the increasingly popular supermini sector. With a five-door body shape that has the appearance of a sporty three door thanks to hidden rear door handles, the Ypsilon combines practicality with good looks.

Owners can personalise their cars further at Chrysler UK dealerships where they'll be able to order special wheels, add stylish piano black interior trim and buy special key fobs to give their car unique appeal.
Combined, all these facets ensure Chrysler Ypsilon owners will easily stand out from the crowd.

HIGH SPEC AS STANDARD
The Chrysler Ypsilon's height, and therefore its generous head room, is disguised by two sweeping curves.

Inside Ypsilon
The Chrysler Ypsilon was designed to give a large car feel in a small car shape and the interior embraces this philosophy.
The rear seats, each with three-point seatbelts, have been designed to be as supportive as a larger car's.

The Ypsilon is available with Fiat's 0.9-liter TwinAir, which earned International Engine of the Year honors. The Delta gets two different 1.4-liter options, including a 140-hp, 1.4-liter MultiAir four-cylinder.

Technology on the Delta includes parking assist, lane departure control and Bluetooth and there are four engines on offer starting with a 1.4-litre TurboJet and a more powerful 140bhp 1.4-litre engine that benefits from Fiat’s MultiAir technology. There are also two diesel engines available, a 1.6-litre and a 2.0-litre which use Fiat’s second generation MultiJet technology. The 1.4-litre TurboJet petrol engine has combined fuel economy of 44.8mpg while the 1.4-litre MultiAir is even more frugal at 49.6mpg. Meanwhile, the 1.6-litre MultiJet diesel offers even better fuel economy, especially when mated to the six-speed semi-automatic gearbox with consumption at 61.4mpg combined.

Chrysler Recalling Minivans

Chrysler Recalling Minivans has announced that they will be recalling around three hundred thousand minivans. And unfortunately, it is the same types of minivans that were recalled a while ago for a problem with condensation with the heating and air tubes that are found in the minivan. It is yet another problem with the heating and cooling system. This time it would seem that the heating and cooling problem could trigger the airbags to deploy. So just which minivans are being affected?

Federal safety regulators have opened an investigation into Dodge and Chrysler minivans from the 2005 model year because the headlights can fail without warning.

The agency says more than 1,500 owners have complained to Chrysler or the government. Chrysler also has received complaints of dimming or flickering headlights. NHTSA said it will analyze consumer complaints and Chrysler's technical information.

Chrysler Group, LLC ("Chrysler") is recalling over 300,000 minivans over concerns that their airbags may deploy inadvertently. The recalls include the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Grand Voyager, and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. The recall extends as far as Canada with 50,251 minivans and Mexico with 3,748 minivans. The recalls concern a leak from the air conditioning and heating system that may cause the Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module to fail and deploy the airbags.

Chrysler Minivans Have a History of Inadvertent Airbag Deployment
This is not the first recall regarding possible inadvertent airbag deployment.

2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser

The PT Cruiser's rivals are numerous and vastly more capable.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a five-seat compact wagon that is now offered in only one trim level -- the Classic. The optional Convenience Group adds a six-way power driver seat, a fold-flat front passenger seat and heated front seats. The 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is a four-speed automatic that drives the front wheels. Fuel economy is a middling 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 21 mpg in combined driving.

Safety
Antilock disc brakes, front seat side airbags and a low-speed traction control system are standard for the 2010 PT Cruiser.
Interior Design and Special Features
Those seated in back are afforded a pleasant view thanks to the Cruiser's slightly elevated rear seats, and head- and legroom are plentiful for adult passengers.

Driving Impressions
With the previous turbocharged engine no longer available, the 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is left with the anemic base power plant and outdated four-speed automatic.

2010 Chrysler 300

The V8-powered 2010 Chrysler 300C receives standard keyless entry/ignition and rear parking sensors, and all 300 models get standard side curtain airbags; however, front-seat-mounted side airbags are no longer available. If you're looking at V6-powered 300 models, we'd advise cross-shopping front-drive rivals like the Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon, as well as the rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis V6 and any number of V6-powered family sedans.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010 Chrysler 300 is a full-size sedan available in Touring, Touring Plus, Walter P. Chrysler Signature Series, Limited, 300C, 300S and SRT8 trim levels.

The Walter P. Chrysler Signature Series adds 18-inch chrome-clad wheels, a different suspension, automatic headlamps, power-adjustable pedals, heated front seats, a power passenger seat, additional chrome exterior trim, heated mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a touchscreen-operated stereo with a six-CD changer and a 30GB hard drive for digital music storage. The Limited adds automatic high-beams, rain-sensing wipers, remote engine start, walnut interior trim, a six-speaker Boston Acoustics sound system and steering-wheel audio controls. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the Touring, Signature and Limited gain a larger fuel tank, a five-speed automatic transmission and upgraded brakes.

The 300S adds 20-inch wheels, performance suspension, tires and steering, sport seats, faux-suede upholstery, an auto-dimming mirror, sport steering wheel, different exterior and interior trim, Bluetooth and a 13-speaker surround-sound system with iPod interface.

The base 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring comes with rear-wheel drive and a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 178 hp and 190 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic is standard. Fuel economy with this engine is 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined.

The Touring Plus, Signature and Limited trim levels come standard with rear-wheel drive and a 3.5-liter V6 good for 250 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is optional. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard with the rear-wheel-drive 3.5-liter 300 sedans, while a five-speed automatic with manual shift control comes with the all-wheel-drive 300.
Fuel economy is 13/19/15 mpg.
Side curtain airbags are standard, but front seat side airbags are unavailable for 2010 Chrysler 300.

2011 Chrysler Town & Country

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country receives a restyled exterior and a greatly improved cabin. The Swivel 'n Go seating option has been dropped.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country minivan is offered in three trim levels: Touring, Touring-L and Limited.

Inside you'll find air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a power driver seat, power-adjustable pedals, Stow 'n Go second-row seats, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, full power accessories (including second-row power windows and third-row power vents), a conversation mirror, a back-up camera, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 115-volt AC power outlet, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a six-speaker CD sound system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and digital music storage.

Moving up to the Touring-L model gets you 17-inch alloy wheels, auto-dimming side mirrors, remote ignition, leather upholstery, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated front seats and second- and third-row window shades. Other major options include a sunroof, a power-folding third-row seat, second- and third-row window shades, Bluetooth, Sirius Travel Link satellite data service, a rear-seat DVD entertainment center with dual video screens and Sirius Backseat TV.

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine that puts out 283 hp and 260 pound-feet of torque. The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country comes with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, active front head restraints, full-length side curtain airbags, front seat side-impact airbags and a driver knee airbag. For 2011, the Chrysler Town & Country's interior gets a major makeover. With all three rows of seats in use, the Town & Country offers a healthy 33 cubic feet of cargo room.

Driving Impressions
The multiple mechanical changes make the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country a contender.

2011 Chrysler 300 Test

Back in 2005, 2011 Chrysler 300 launched its all-new 300 sedan, a car with a dramatic retro-inspired look. With rear-wheel drive, big wheels and an available Hemi V8 behind a big 1930s-style grille, it was a revelation in a sea of bland, front-wheel-drive family sedans. The 300's rear-wheel-drive platform is carried over from the old car, but it's been thoroughly overhauled. Overall, we're pretty impressed with the 2011 Chrysler 300.

The 2011 Chrysler 300 is a full-size sedan available in base, Limited, 300C and 300C AWD trim levels.

The 2011 Chrysler 300 Limited adds 18-inch wheels, foglamps, additional exterior chrome trim, a rearview camera, remote ignition, heated front seats, a power front passenger seat, Bluetooth (optional on base) and a six-speaker Alpine sound system (optional on base). The Limited can be equipped with the Luxury Group, which adds a driver-side auto-dimming mirror, power-adjustable pedals, interior LED lighting, a power-adjustable steering wheel, driver memory functions, leather upholstery (optional separately), heated and ventilated front seats, heated and cooled cupholders, heated rear seats and a power rear sunshade.
The 300C AWD differs only in that it has all-wheel drive and standard 19-inch wheels.

The Sound Group is really just a nine-speaker Alpine surround-sound audio system. The SafetyTec Group includes adaptive and automatic leveling xenon headlamps, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, a blind-spot warning system, rear cross-path detection system, front and rear parking sensors and LED rear foglamps. This package on the Limited includes automatic wipers and automatic high beams. The base 2011 Chrysler 300 and the Limited trim are powered by a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 292 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive and a five-speed automatic transmission are standard.

Chrysler estimates that this engine will return 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 21 combined -- quite impressive given this car's size, power and less-than-aerodynamic shape. Chrysler estimates that the 2011 Chrysler 300C will return 16/25/19 with rear-drive and 15/23/18 with AWD.

Chrysler's new Uconnect Touch interface is standard. This 8.4-inch touchscreen controls the car's many infotainment features and is a vast improvement on the substantially smaller screen presently found in other Chrysler Group vehicles.

Chrysler pt Cruiser 2001 Limited Edition Value

Classic styling and modern utility were the guiding forces behind Chrysler's PT Cruiser. Based on the Neon platform, Chrysler expects the PT Cruiser to serve as the ideal "city car" with its combination of compact exterior dimensions and spacious interior layout. Although shorter than a Neon in overall length, the Cruiser sports 120.2 cubic feet of interior space.

With the second seat gone, 76 cubic feet of cargo-carrying capacity await your load-hauling needs. Jumping from the standard model to the Chrysler pt Cruiser 2001 Limited Edition Value PT Cruiser gets you a Touring Suspension, leather front seats, fog lamps, a chrome exhaust tip, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front occupants, overhead console, power moonroof, speed control, fold-flat front passenger seat, power heated fold-away mirrors, remote keyless entry, power locks, and 16-inch chrome alloy wheels.

Originally conceived as a Plymouth model, the PT Cruiser received the Chrysler nameplate on introduction in anticipation of the 2001 discontinuation of the Plymouth brand. The PT Cruiser was designed by Bryan Nesbitt, who later also styled the Chevrolet HHR.[2]A four-seat convertible model was added for 2005. The convertible officially ceased production December 21, 2007, but the last 2007 convertibles were marketed as 2008 models. On July 9, 2010 the PT Cruiser ended production.[3][5] A turbocharged GT model was introduced for the 2003 model year.

The PT Cruiser was manufactured at Toluca Car Assembly in Toluca, Mexico. In 2001 Car and Driver acknowledged the PT Cruiser on its Ten Best list and the PT Cruiser also won the North American Car of the Year.

The PT Cruiser was originally conceived as a Plymouth model, before Chrysler's merger with Daimler-Benz.[citation needed]At the time, Chrysler had planned a new look for Plymouth, previewed by the Plymouth Prowler "hot rod". Consequently, the PT Cruiser appeared in public only as a Chrysler.

[citation needed]
The PT Cruiser also resembles the 1997 Chrysler CCV prototype—which would evolve into the styling of the PT Cruiser.

[citation needed]
Models included the Classic Edition, Limited Edition, Touring Edition, "Dream Cruiser", "Street Cruiser", "Pacific Coast Highway Edition" and PT Cruiser GT. Non-GT Turbo (180 hp) edition models (introduced in 2004) were identified by a "2.4L Turbo" badge on the lower right hand corner of the rear lift-gate. The turbocharged 2.4 L four-cylinder engine was available in 180 hp (130 kW) or "High-Output" 230 hp (170 kW) versions.

2011 Chrysler 200 Reviews

The heavy makeover includes updated exterior styling, a vastly improved passenger cabin, a new 3.6-liter V6 engine and retuned suspension and steering.

Introduction
In place of the Sebring's low-budget rental car cabin is a nicer interior with high-quality materials that shame other sedans in this class.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Chrysler 200 is offered as a midsize sedan and convertible. Both are offered in four trim levels.

The entry-level LX model comes equipped with 17-inch steel wheels, a four-speed automatic transmission, air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, 60/40-split-folding rear seatbacks, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack.

The Touring model adds some desirable extras including 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-speed automatic, automatic headlights, a power driver seat, automatic climate control, a trip computer, upgraded interior lighting, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio.
For the 200 convertible, Chrysler offers either a conventional power-operated soft top or a retractable steel hardtop.
The front-wheel-drive 2011 Chrysler 200 offers a choice of two engines. A key to performance is the six-speed automatic transmission, which is standard across the line aide from the entry-level LX, which has a four-speed automatic.

Safety
The 2011 Chrysler 200 comes with a long list of standard safety features including stability and traction control, antilock brakes with brake assist, active front head restraints, front side airbags and side curtain airbags.

The convertible also scored "Good" in the frontal-offset and side impact tests (no roof strength test was done).

Interior Design and Special Features
The sedan's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is also a little on the small side.

2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8,Review‎s

If we made a list of unforgettable cars of the pr

evious decade, the first-gen er atio n Chrysler 300 SRT8 and Dodge 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 would be on it.

(For more details on the new Hemi, check out our 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 test.)
Status Elevated: The 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8
(The Dodge should return identical numbers.)
Even at 130 mph along the back straight—top speed is 175, says 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 remained firmly planted, and there was virtually no wind noise. Rounding out the SRT8’s performance enhancements are seriously beefed-up brakes. Other accents, including side-sill extensions, door handles, mirrors, and the rear spoiler, are painted body color. Out back, the rear fascia contains a darkened lower section punctuated by a pair of four-inch chrome exhaust tips. The SRT8 includes most every 300/300C option as standard. Now for Something Completely, Uh, Similar: The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8
If for all of its dash the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 seems low on flash, behold “the outspoken one,” according to SRT CEO Ralph Gilles. Indeed, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 couldn’t be more outspoken if Ann Coulter, Keith Olbermann, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill Maher were piled inside. The Dodge offers only one wheel design, a split five-spoke forged aluminum 20-incher with black painted pockets.

But the Charger SRT8’s single greatest point of distinction from its Chrysler sibling is the controversial front end. (Of course, if you hate it, you could always just get your Charger SRT8 in black.) It represents a stark contrast to the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 reserved looks.

Like the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 the Charger SRT8 offers the option of red-and-black seat hides, and likewise gets most of its lesser siblings’ available features as standard, although the equipment list itself varies slightly from that of the Chrysler. The Charger SRT8 is mechanically identical to the 300 SRT8 in every respect save the tuning of the active shocks, which are, not surprisingly, stiffer in the Dodge. Both SRT8 sedans feature an 8.4-inch touch-screen display that includes a “Performance Pages” function that displays vehicle performance data, including instantaneous g forces; lap times; eighth-mile, quarter-mile, 0-to-60, and 0-to-60-to-0 figures; braking distances and more. Speaking of purchasing, the Charger SRT8 will start at $46,620 and the 300 SRT8 at $47,995 when they arrive in showrooms this fall.
