2012 Chrysler 300S V8

(continued from above)

With larger 20-inch polished-face aluminum wheels with black painted pockets, all-season performance tires, touring-tuned (performance-tuned with HEMI V8 engine) second-generation E-segment chassis architecture with 25 percent quicker steering and 20 percent heavier on-center feel than the entry-level 300 model, the all-new Chrysler 300S V6 and V8 models are engineered for driving enjoyment.

Hinting that this Chrysler sedan was born with attitude and street-cred - unique body-color fascia accents and mirrors, and black-accented headlamp bezels with matching sculpted horizontal grille blades in black chrome replace bright chrome to give the 2012 Chrysler 300S a low-key street presence.

The interior of Chrysler 300S models exude an athletic-luxury theme with 12-way power driver and passenger front seats with large-bolstered and heated monotone cloth sport seats surrounded by an interior environment in black. Exclusive use of Piano Black on interior center stack, instrument panel, steering wheel, gauge cluster and door panel elements provide a uniquely lacquered and highly detailed appearance. Completing the enthusiast-designed interior are matte carbon hydrographic finished accents, replacing traditional burl wood.

State-of-the-art Uconnect Touch 8.4 provides 2012 Chrysler 300S passengers with the segment's largest touchscreen display (8.4-inch) and next-generation mobile infotainment, connectivity and multimedia features. Uconnect Touch also controls the high-performance 10-speaker Beats Audio system with 522-watt 12-channel amplifier for high-definition sound.

Packed with a 363 horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine including innovative Fuel Saver Technology, a 5-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Auto Stick, performance-tuned suspension and larger performance disc brakes, the 2012 Chrysler 300S V-8 delivers world-class power and refinement with enthusiast-tuned handling.

In addition to the features included on the Chrysler 300S V6 with Luxury Group, the eight-cylinder 300S model adds 160-mph LED-illuminated instrument cluster, rain-sensing windshield wipers, Smartbeam headlamps, ParkView rear back-up camera, and HomeLink universal transceiver.

Chrysler 300S AWD models

Providing additional all-season confidence, the Chrysler 300S V6 and V8 all-wheel-drive (AWD) models utilize 19-inch polished-face aluminum wheels with black painted pockets, 235/55 R19 all-season performance tires and the segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle disconnect AWD system.
