The new generation of Chrysler’s 300C improves on its predecessor, which according to Jeremy Clarkson was styled by Al Capone, in every single way. So, the new 300C, which is also on sale in Europe as the Lancia Thema, will go on sale in China on June 25.
The Chrysler 300C’s distinctive headlights sit next to LED daytime running lamps, which together form a “C” shape.
For better aerodynamics and visibility, the windshield has been raked back 3 inches, while rolled-framed doors with thinner pillars improve outward visibility by 15%. A new dual-pane panoramic sunroof lets in more daylight; the 300 also has chrome daylight openings, chrome front and rear fascia accents, and optional 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels. The Lancia Thema version is extremely similar, but has a slightly different grille and interior.
The next 300 will reportedly receive serious cosmetic upgrades to the front and rear fascia in addition to a far more luxurious and attractive interior.
The rear-drive sedan will also receive Chrysler's new Pentastar V6, which promises 280 or more horsepower and fuel savings of up to 20 percent versus the current vehicle.
