2012 Chrysler 300 America's First Eight-speed Automatic Luxury Sedan Delivers Best-in-class (combined) Fuel Economy
Integrating the first eight-speed automatic transmission in a domestic luxury sedan, the new 2012 Chrysler 300 series sedans offer world-class technological innovation and quality - while delivering stylistic distinction and premium E-segment sedan features at a legendary value.
"The 2012 Chrysler 300 is built on the idea that luxury feels better earned - that those who worked hard to achieve their place in the world should demand as much as is demanded of them," said Saad Chehab, Head, Chrysler Brand - Chrysler Group LLC. "Without compromising the comfort, size or bravado you'd expect from the Motor City's luxury sedan, the 2012 Chrysler 300 gets best-in-class 31 highway mpg thanks to its all-new state-of-the-art eight-speed automatic transmission. And since this car represents luxury for those who've earned everything they've got, we made sure our Chrysler 300 AWD models deliver the segment's most advanced all-wheel-drive system for greater all-season traction, and best-in-class V-6 fuel economy."
