2007 Chrysler 300 4 Dr C AWD

The 300C was by far the most in-demand version of Chrysler's flagship sedan.  The C has been equipped with many new features for 2007 including adaptive cruise control, restyled 18 inch chrome wheels, automatic high beams, and heated rear seats.  The C is further set apart by a premium Boston Acoustics sound system, leather trim, driver memory power adjustments, and rain sensing wipers.  A navigation system is also available.
The new C will once again house a 5.7 liter Hemi V-8.  This engine provides the 300 with 340 horsepower and 390 pound feet of torque, and the C is launched from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds.  Fuel efficiency is a casualty of both the larger engine and the addition of all wheel drive, down from 21/28 mpg for the base model to 18/24 mpg.  However, the engine is able to operate on just four cylinders when less power is needed.  The Hemi is mated with a five-speed automatic transmission.  This transmission and the AWD system are borrowed from the old Mercedes E-Class-a platform that the German automaker and Chrysler relative retired in 2002.
According to the limited consumer reviews, Chrysler may have begun to quell some reliability issues on this new model.  There have been no reported recalls on any 300 in 2007 so far.
