What’s the name of the new Chrysler 300C?

A brutal sales climate, battered brand name and volatile gas prices notwithstanding, the 300/300C is one of Chrysler’s strongest products, but the tweaks it’s received for 2009 aren’t enough to prepare it for an uptick in competition from the likes of a redesigned Ford Taurus. The exterior change for 2009 is a new grille design for the SRT8 model.

What kind of mpg does a Chrysler 300 get?

(Remember, this is the SRT8 trim level only; the 300 sedan lineup begins at 18/26 mpg with a V-6 engine, and the 5.7-liter V-8 rates 16/25 mpg with rear-wheel drive, thanks in part to cylinder-deactivation technology that was left off the 6.1-liter.)

When did the Chrysler 300C SRT8 come out?

Cars.com’s Joe Wiesenfelder takes a look at the 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8. Upon its introduction in 2004, the 2005 Chrysler 300 full-size sedan became the force behind the flagging company’s turnaround. It was big and roomy, it offered all-wheel drive and a huge Hemi V-8 as options, and in the eyes of many it looked like a Bentley.

How big is the engine in a 2009 Chrysler 300?

The 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8’s HEMI (so named for its hemispherical combustion chambers) is related to the 5.7-liter engine found in the 300C sedan. The SRT division begins with a stronger engine block, then enlarges the cylinder bore, thus increasing displacement to 6.1 liters.

Is the Chrysler 300C a rear wheel drive car?

The rear-wheel drive and a clear effort to distribute weight evenly over the front and rear wheels — including a trunk-mounted battery — give the hulking 300 good balance overall. It’s impossible to ignore the 4,046-pound curb weight, but the big engine, upgraded brakes and grippy tires make the SRT8 feel the lightest of all the trim levels.

What’s the price of a new Chrysler 300?

The Chrysler 300C SRT8 sells for considerably more than the stock 300C, and some drivers may find its thickly-bolstered sport bucket seats to be confining. If you’re looking for a nice balance between performance and comfort, save yourself the $8,000 premium and buy the 300C or look to Pontiac’s new G8. What’s New?

Is the Chrysler 300C SRT8 a good car?

Despite its high premium, the 300C SRT8 does not retain as high of a resale value as the BMW 550i, Audi S4 or Pontiac G8 GXP. It does, however, stack up well against the Cadillac STS-V. Even though the 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8 borrows a lot of componentry from Mercedes-Benz, its heart and soul, the 6.1-liter HEMI V8, is still purely American.
