Chrysler 200S And 300S ‘Alloy Editions’
The new 2016 Chrysler 200S and 300S
Alloy Editions have just been revealed, bringing more style to the range.
Chrysler wanted to emphasize on the use
of different materials and color combinations inspired outside of the
automotive industry. Both new models now offer a unique Dark Bronze finish.
The new Chrysler 200S
Alloy Edition is offered with select exterior trim painted in the company’s
Dark Bronze, like the front upper and lower grille surrounds paired with a set
of matching-painted 19-inch wheels. The Dark Bronze theme continues on the rear
“200S” badge with bits like the Chrysler wing badge and the dual exhaust tips
finished in Titanium.
Inside, the cabin can be upholstered in either a
combo of black cloth with leather or black full-leather. Each of them feature a
unique Caramel accent stitching on the seats, center arm rest and door panels.
A black and caramel “S” logo on the front seats and the piano black trim
combined with Titanium details on the door panels, center console, outboard air
vents and the Chrysler logo on the steering wheel complete the more premium
image of the interior.
The Chrysler 200S Alloy Edition also
wears a sport-tuned suspension while customer can opt for the factory-installed
Mopar exterior package that includes a more aggressive front chin spoiler,
fatter side sills with rear side sill extensions and rear valance. The color
palette includes five exterior body colors: Gloss Black Clear Coat, Black
Forest Green Pearl Coat, Redline Tri-coat Pearl, Granite Crystal Metallic Clear
Coat and Bright White Clear Coat.
The new Chrysler 300S Alloy Edition now
features a front grille finished in Dark Bronze with a matching surround for
the lower part of the front fender. A set of Dark Bronze 20-inch alloy wheels
(19-inches for the AWD version) and details finished in Titanium and Dark
Bronze complete the exterior differences from lesser models.
The cabin is dressed in an exclusive
Black Nappa leather trim with Caramel stitching, including the front heated
seats, rear seats, the instrument cluster bezel, the steering wheel and
armrests. The Piano Black trim combined with the titanium details is also
present while a new instrument panel clock with a dark-colored analog face and Piano
Black surround is there to offer a more upmarket and special feel on the
interior.
Chrysler will offer a new
performance-tuned suspension with increased spring rates, performance-tuned
steering and bushings, larger sway bars (when combined with a V8 engine) and a
set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Three-season tyres to those seeking a more rewarding
driving experience.
Both cars will also be available with an
optional AWD system to customers wanting more traction, with the AWD 200S Alloy
Edition to be offered only with the 295 hp 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 petrol engine,
the same unit that the AWD 300S Alloy Edition uses.
The two new models make their debut at the
2016 Chicago Auto Show, with the Alloy Edition package priced (MSRP) at US$ 995
and US$ 495 for the 200S and 300S respectively.
