(December 25, 2010) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The 2011 Chrysler 300 series has been revealed by Chrysler. Chrysler says the newest edition, a refreshening of the current 300, delivers the distinction, innovation and premium large sedan features, while setting a new course for the American brand.

The 2011 Chrysler 300 delivers contemporary styling with new design details including an all-new grille featuring seven deeply sculpted horizontal blades that express precision.

The liquid-chrome finish of the blades and the new Chrysler wing badge provide a unique contrast against the bright chrome grille surround. Illuminating the road ahead are signature “key slot” headlamps with a scalloped lower edge. Inside, bi-functional projector headlamps are nestled next to LED-illuminated daytime running lamps, which together form a “C” shape for unmistakable on-road presence.

The profile of the Chrysler 300 features the  proportions of its predecessor with added design refinement for a more tailored appearance. Dramatic front-fender forms rise above the sculpted hood and are echoed by rear-quarter forms which rise above the deck lid and travel down the vertical taillamps for an unmistakably bold signature silhouette.

For improved aerodynamics and visibility, the Chrysler luxury flagship’s windshield has been raked back 3 inches, while rolled-framed doors with thinner pillars improve outward visibility by 15 percent. To take in the sky above, a new dual-pane panoramic sunroof provides Chrysler 300 passengers with twice the outward visibility of a standard sunroof.

For a more contemporary appearance, the 300 features a clean bodyside with a distinct windswept A-line that emphasizes the sedan’s long wheelbase and spacious cabin. Delivering a touch of world-class sophistication, the 300 is highlighted by chrome daylight openings, chrome front- and rear-fascia accents and available 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels.

Elevating the sedan's presence from the rear, the deck lid now incorporates a lip spoiler while the new Chrysler wing badge is centered below. Jeweled-like rear taillamps feature harmonious LED illumination, while signature “light pipes” illuminate for an alluring nighttime appearance.

The Chrysler 300’s interior delivers expressive style, authentic materials, passenger comfort features and precise fit and finish. Substantial interior upgrades on the car consist of soft touch materials, premium interior trim, available heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats, and real wood appliques on the instrument panel, doors, center console and steering wheel.

Power will come from Chrysler's new Pentastar V-6 and the carryover 5.7-liter V-8, with power sent to either the rear wheels or all four.
