Chrysler makes 300C more affordable

(WHICH?) - The Chrysler 300C is now available for as little as £23,995, thanks to a revamped model line-up including new entry-level SE trim.

Equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlamps, automatic wipers, leather seats (heated at the front), dual zone climate control, LED ambient interior lighting, front fog lights, front and rear parking sensors, stability control and six airbags, the new 300C SE is far from poorly equipped.

In fact, given this car technically competes in the same luxury car class as the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class (it’s actually based on an old E-Class platform), it looks like exceptional value.

SR adds satnav, SRT sporty looks

Above the SE now sits the SR trim level. SR adds auto-dimming rear view mirror, stereo upgrade, satellite navigation and Bluetooth, and it costs £24,995. Options are limited to a power sunroof (£750) and heated rear seats (£250).

SRT completes the regular model range, adding mostly visual enhancements, including 20-inch alloys, wheel arch extensions, mesh grille, leather and suede trimmed sports seats and carbon-fibre interior trimmings. SRT costs £27,995.
