A brand new version of the Chrysler 300 is just around the corner, kicking off a product renaissance at Chrysler that will include a score of new or updated models over the next couple of years.
The Auburn Hills-based automaker has already previewed its upcoming 2011 Chrysler 300 in a series of sketches presented during the all-important viability presentations last year and now for the first time we have a new rendering of the car, albeit just a tiny portion of the grille and headlight. The rendering was tucked away in a video for the Chrysler-badged Lancia Delta that was on display last week at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
The 2011 Chrysler 300 is claimed to be up to 19% more fuel-efficient than the current model and to set it apart from the competition it will also feature new levels of connectivity and entertainment. Power will come from Chrysler’s Pentastar V6 or a Hemi V8 with cylinder deactivation. A high-performance SRT8 model should also be launched.
Safety features will include ‘Rear Cross Path’ and ‘Blind Spot Monitoring’ systems to warn drivers of unseen vehicles, electronic stability control, an energy-absorbing steering column, a rear-sill reinforced body structure.
Expect the 2011 Chrysler 300 to make its debut towards the end of the year, although given the automaker’s current financial state that debut may easily be pushed back. In the meantime, check out some spy shots of a test mule for the 2011 Chrysler 300 below.
