Chrysler 300C
Automobilproduktion Chrysler Austria, a subsidiary of the Chrysler Group, will also grow its relationship with Magna Steyr to develop and implement a joint manufacturing launch strategy, including: vehicle parts procurement and management; vehicle engineering; as well as support all vehicle distribution. Chrysler Group has manufactured 918,000 vehicles in Austria since 1992 and in conjunction with Magna Steyr since 1994.
Chrysler Group's manufacturing strategy for its rear-wheel-drive vehicles underscores an ongoing commitment to the implementation of innovative forms of flexibility. Today's announcement demonstrates another example of Business Model Flexibility, which enables the company to start production of the 300C outside North America without tying up additional capital for tooling and equipment. It also minimizes costly issues associated with importing vehicles into various markets worldwide, including distribution.
The Chrysler 300C family solidifies the brand presence in over a hundred markets worldwide. It offers customers an expressive Chrysler design and personality, an all-new platform with world-class rear-wheel and all-wheel drive technology, and exceptional interior driver and passenger space.
Chrysler 300C is equipped with three petrol engine options, including a fuel-efficient 2.7-litre V-6, 3.5-litre High-Output V-6, culminating in the 5.7 litre HEMI® V-8. This engine features cylinder deactivation called Multi-Displacement System (MDS), providing customers with HEMI power along with competitive fuel consumption. The Chrysler 300C is the only family of vehicles to offer MDS as a standard feature in its V-8 engines.
More than 105,000 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum vehicles have been sold so far this year. The Chrysler 300 commands 40 percent of the Canadian luxury full-size vehicle segment and more than 30 percent of the U.S. luxury full-size car segment, since its introduction.
