Chrysler UK has announced prices for its flagship 300C saloon, which goes on sale this June.
Lead-in model is the 300C Limited, which costs £35,995 and features as standard heated seats front and rear, self-levelling suspension and the ubiquitous LED daytime running lights.
The only other trim grade to be offered is the 300C Executive. Although buyers will need to find an extra £4,000, the specification is more generous and includes Nappa leather upholstery, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control and a blind spot monitoring system.
Both versions are powered by a 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine that produces 236 bhp (176 kW / 239 PS) and 540 Nm (398 lb/ft) of torque.
Although no performance data has been released, combined cycle fuel consumption is 39.8 mpg (7.1 l/100km), while CO2 emissions range from 185 to 191 g/km according to wheel size.
However, a potential problem for the Chrysler is that those figures are eclipsed by the competition.
Take the Jaguar XF, for example. In 3.0 V6 Diesel Luxury guise it has a price tag of £35,960, yet 237 bhp (177 kW / 240 PS), 44.8 mpg (6.3 l/100km) and 169 g/km make for a more efficient package.
And then there’s the £38,785 BMW 530d SE. With 254 bhp (190 kW / 258 PS) it boasts more power than the 300C, but fuel economy is better at 49.6 mpg (5.7 l/100km) and CO2 emissions of 149 - 155 g/km are significantly lower.
