2010 CHRYSLER 300—L X RY, COMFORT AND LEGENDARY VAL E
With its refined interior, premium technology features and unmistakable design, the
2010 Chrysler 300 continues to offer unmatched style, performance and excitement for
any budget.
For those seeking the combination of maximum fuel economy with the panache of
the Chrysler 300C—the new 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring offers a fuel-efficient 2.7-liter
V-6 engine providing 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway with even more upscale
enhancements, including chromed mirrors and door handles, fog lamps and available
steering wheel audio controls.
Upping the ante, the 2010 Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition tops the model lineup.
Its legendary 5.7-liter HEMI®V-8 engine with fuel-saving Multi-displacement System
(MDS) technology produces 360 horsepower (268 kW), 389 lb.-ft. (527 N•m) of torque,
and 25 mpg highway capability. remium amenities, including leather seating with
suede inserts, oplar Burl real-wood trim, Keyless Entry/Keyless Go, Boston Acoustics 5.1
surround sound with Digital Signal rocessor (DS ), 20-inch chromed wheels, and
performance steering, suspension and shocks make the 300C Heritage Edition the
ultimate Chrysler 300.
And for customers who are looking for even more all-weather capability from their
Chrysler 300 sedans, all-wheel-drive models feature an active transfer case and
front-axle disconnect. No other major manufacturer offers these two independent
technologies together. The unique system seamlessly transitions between rear-wheel
drive and all-wheel drive with no driver intervention. When all-wheel drive is not
required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel
economy on all-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 models, while still providing the outstanding
performance and handling inherent in rear-wheel drive.

drive and all-wheel drive to maximize fuel economy on
all-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 models
Safety and security
