2009 Chrysler 300 C HEMI

As its name implies, the rear-wheel-drive 2009 Chrysler 300 C Hemi sedan features the renowned 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that, in combination with the five-speed AutoStick auto-manual transmission, pounds out 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. The variable-valve-timed 5.7-liter Hemi V8 keeps gas mileage at a reasonable-if-not-jaw-dropping 16/23 mpg.

The ’09 300 C Hemi can be optioned up to the Walter P. Chrysler Executive trim, which adds 6 inches to the overall length of the car and features heated rear seats, or into the Heritage Edition, which offers unique chrome and badging as well as a standard heavy-duty coolant system for the Hemi V8. In any configuration, however, the ’09 300 C Hemi is loaded with both features and power.
