The Chrysler brand has

Chrysler vehicle is stunning, innovative and alluring in a unique way.
New for 2009, the Chrysler Aspen HEMI Hybrid is the ultimate combination of
efficient power, utility and beauty. Providing a unique option to customers who
need the cargo and towing capability of a sport-utility vehicle (SUV), but who
want a more efficient alternative, the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid increases fuel
efficiency by more than 25 percent overall, and is up to 40 percent more fuel
efficient in the city. The 2009 Chrysler Aspen offers sophisticated styling,
luxurious amenities, performance and capability – plus a great value compared to
other premium SUVs. An all-new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine is available this year
on the 2009 Chrysler Aspen, offering better fuel economy, improved idle quality
and overall refinement, along with more horsepower and torque and Chrysler’s
fuel-saving Multi-displacement System (MDS).
Twenty-five years after it first invented the modern minivan, Chrysler
continues to raise the bar and perfect its award-winning formula. The 2009 Town
& Country adds two all-new minivan-first safety features to the more than 30
safety features available already. The Chrysler Town & Country is the first
minivan to feature the Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path advance safety
systems as well as SmartBeam® headlamps and rain-sensing wipers. These new
features add to the more than 35 new or improved features – including the
exclusive Swivel ’n Go™ seating – introduced in the 2008 Town & Country. The
industry-exclusive Stow ’n Go® seating and storage system, first introduced in
the 2005 MY, is the only minivan seat system to offer both second- and third-row
seats that fold into the floor. With its sense of style, refinement and
class-leading functionality, the Chrysler Town & Country remains the perfect
vehicle for the modern-day family.
The Chrysler 300, the sedan that marked the return of the great American car
and rear-wheel-drive technology when first introduced, offers improved fuel
economy in 2009. In addition to its stunning design, refined interior, premium
communication and entertainment features and numerous standard safety and
security features, the 2009 all-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 models are now equipped
with an Active Transfer Case and Front-axle Disconnect improving fuel economy by
enabling the vehicle to switch between two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The
2009 Chrysler 300C rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models both feature the
all-new 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, upgraded to get an estimated five percent
fuel economy improvement. The Chrysler 300 continues to stand apart from the
crowd, offering customers an elegant, confidence-inspiring, powerful vehicle at
an exceptional value.
The Chrysler 300C SRT8® delivers performance, amenities and outstanding value
that no other sedan provides. Powered by the Street and Racing
Technology-engineered, 425-horsepower, 6.1-liter HEMI V-8, the Chrysler 300C
SRT8 boasts performance-tuned ride and handling, world-class braking and premium
appointments.
The 2009 Chrysler Sebring sedan combines stunning design with interior
craftsmanship, high levels of safety and reliability, exhilarating performance
and excellent fuel efficiency, all at a surprisingly affordable price. In
addition to many class-leading technologies, the 2009 Chrysler Sebring also
offers a combination of standard safety features not typically found in the
mid-size car segment.
The Chrysler Sebring Convertible has long held the honor of America’s
favorite convertible, solidly leading the segment for the past decade. The 2009
Sebring Convertible offers a sleek and elegant design, exhilarating performance
with excellent fuel efficiency and a spacious interior. The Sebring Convertible
offers two automatically latching convertible top options: cloth and a
body-color painted steel hardtop, both of which can be retracted with the touch
of a button on the key fob.
The Chrysler Sebring sedan and Chrysler Sebring Convertible both achieve 28
miles per gallon (mpg) highway fuel economy and have been certified by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) SmartWay® program, which recognizes the
cleanest, most efficient vehicles sold in the United States. SmartWay
certification is based on achieving high standards in both air pollution and
greenhouse gas (fuel economy) emissions.
Additionally, the Chrysler Sebring sedan and Sebring Convertible both offer
uconnect phone utilizing Bluetooth® technology, standard on some models and
optional on others. A new feature for 2009, the hands-free system automatically
downloads up to 1,000 phone book entries from supported phones.
The 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser continues to be “too-cool-to-categorize,”
commanding attention around the world. The PT Cruiser leads the segment in
style, versatility, quality and performance with its one-of-a-kind exterior
styling, versatile interior packaging and proven quality. A classic that lends
itself to personalization, Chrysler has kept the PT Cruiser fresh and exciting
with more than 12 variations of the vehicle since its introduction. With a
standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder DOHC four-speed automatic engine, the PT
Cruiser achieves approximately 26 mpg on the highway and has also been certified
by the EPA’s SmartWay program for fuel economy and efficiency.
