2008 Chrysler 300 — A Classic with Stunning Design, Exhilarating Performance and Sophisticated Interior
Loaded with premium features, stunning Chrysler design, fuel-saving technology and abundant standard safety features, the 2008 Chrysler 300 continues to make everything else on the road seem ordinary.
The dramatic exterior design of the Chrysler 300 has been refreshed for 2008 with minor changes to the front and rear fascias and tailamps and a new rear deck lid that incorporates an SRT-inspired integrated spoiler and relocated high-mounted stop light. However, the classic proportions of long hood, short deck and dramatic profile remain to give the Chrysler 300 its continued award-winning, stunning presence for 2008.
The sophisticated interior design of the Chrysler 300 has been enhanced for 2008 with a new instrument panel and center console design, highlighted with satin silver bezels. Soft-touch surfaces on arm rests and door panels, and a newly designed and relocated cruise control stalk, add to the comfortable interior. Available light-emitting diode (LED) lighting in the front cup holders and front- and rear-door map pockets provide additional driver convenience.
New entertainment and communications options on the 2008 Chrysler 300 include a Boston Acoustics eight-speaker 5.1 Matrix Surround Sound system, SIRIUS Backseat TV™ and MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System with optional navigation.
In addition, seat-mounted air bags have been added to the front and rear side-curtain air bags for increased driver and passenger safety.
The 5.7-liter HEMI-powered Chrysler 300C offers a “Fuel Saver Mode” display, included as part of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) that tells drivers when they are in four-cylinder mode, allowing them to modify their driving habits for improved fuel efficiency.
New technologies and exterior and interior refinements continue to offer Chrysler 300 customers an elegant, confidence-inspiring vehicle at an exceptional value.
DESIGN
The dramatic exterior design of the Chrysler 300 has been refreshed for 2008 with new tailamps and a new rear deck lid that integrates an SRT-inspired spoiler and relocated high-mounted stop light. However, the classic proportions of long hood, short deck and dramatic profile remain to give the Chrysler 300 its continued award-winning, stunning presence for 2008.
The sophisticated interior design of the Chrysler 300 has been enhanced for 2008 with a new instrument panel and center console design, highlighted with satin silver bezels. Soft-touch surfaces on arm rests and door panels, and a newly designed and relocated cruise control stalk, add to the comfortable interior. LED lighting in the front cup holders and front and rear door map pockets provide additional driver convenience.
Engineering
Three powertrain options are available in the 2008 Chrysler 300 lineup, offering outstanding combinations of performance, fuel economy, quietness and durability.
The rear-wheel-drive 2008 Chrysler 300 LX is equipped with a 2.7-liter V-6 engine providing 178 hp (133 kW) @ 5500 rpm and 190 lb.-ft. (258 Nm) of torque @ 4000.
A 3.5-liter High Output V-6 engine featured on the rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 Touring and Chrysler 300 Limited models provides 250 hp (186 kW) @ 6400 rpm and 250 lb.-ft. (340 Nm) of torque @ 3800 rpm.
The 2008 Chrysler 300C rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models feature the modern 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine equipped with a Multi-displacement System (MDS). MDS seamlessly turns off the fuel consumption in four cylinders when V-8 power is not needed, improving fuel economy as much as 20 percent. HEMI'S “Fuel Saver Mode” display, included as part of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center, tells drivers when they are in four-cylinder mode, allowing them to modify their driving habits for improved fuel efficiency.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine provides 340 hp (254 kW) @ 5000 rpm and 390 lb.-ft of torque (258 Nm) @ 4000. The HEMI-powered 2008 Chrysler 300C can go from zero to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds.
Entertainment and communication Technology

The best-in-class, next-generation navigation radio features a 6.5-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Display with a touch-screen panel that can support 65,000 colors, providing a three-dimensional appearance to graphics and animation, as well as multiple font sizes and styles.

Rear-seat DVD Video Entertainment System
The rear-seat VES is cleverly packaged under the center console armrest cover and is easily accessible to rear-seat passengers. The system includes a 7-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen, a remote control and two wireless headsets. The hinged LCD screen can be fully stored into the console armrest cover or flipped up for viewing. Auxiliary audio and video plug-in jacks are included on the faceplate so that rear-seat passengers can view video directly from a video camera, play games from a video game console or play music directly from a portable MP3 player. New for 2008, rear-seat passengers can enjoy SIRIUS Backseat TV.
SIRIUS Backseat TV
Chrysler Group will be the first and only auto manufacturer to offer SIRIUS Backseat TV in its vehicle lineup in the 2008 model year.
SIRIUS Backseat TV features three channels of respected children’s TV featuring many of the most well-known kids’ programming, including Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network. Rear-seat passengers will be able to watch shows such as Nickelodeon’s “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana,” and Cartoon Network’s “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.”
SIRIUS Backseat TV operates through an in-vehicle satellite video receiver and two small roof-mounted antennas. Programming, in addition to the channel name, program title and rating are displayed on the vehicle’s rear seat video screen. For added flexibility, rear-seat passengers can enjoy SIRIUS Backseat TV while front-seat occupants listen to SIRIUS Satellite Radio. The system can be operated from either the rear-seat entertainment remote or the radio head unit in the front instrument panel. In addition, when the vehicle is in Park, programming can be displayed on the MyGIG screen (if equipped) for front-seat viewing.
