| Prices of new Chrysler sedans range from $22,500 to about $33,000. |
The relatively low price of entry for the large sedans, which boast as much interior room as big premium luxury cars, such as the BMW 7-Series and Audi A8, should assure that Chrysler will not find itself scaring off potential buyers with high initial prices, which is what happened with the Pacifica.
Entry-level models feature a 190-hp, 2.7L V-6 mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and have a 0-60 (97 km/h) time of 10.7 seconds.
Top-line 300C and Magnum models equipped with Chrysler’s 5.7L, 340-hp Hemi V-8 and 5-speed automatic transmission are priced at $32,995 and 29,995, respectively. They can do 0-60 in an impressive 6.3 seconds.
