Three reasons for the success of Chrysler 300C
"Chrysler is a sleeping lion in China. It will wake up in China! " Esmond, president of Chrysler (China) Sales Company, once told the media. In July this year, Chrysler 300C was included in the list of the123rd batch of automobile manufacturers and products newly published by the National Development and Reform Commission. While embarking on the journey of localization, Chrysler 300C took over the heavy responsibility of rebuilding Chrysler brand.
As the flagship product of Chrysler brand, Chrysler 300C has made great contributions to Chrysler brand with its excellent market performance since its listing. The reporter learned from Chrysler Group that in the past two years, the monthly sales volume of Chrysler 300C in North America has exceeded 1 10,000, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 300,000 in the 25 months since its listing in 2004. It should be said that achieving such outstanding sales performance in such a short time is not only rare in the increasingly competitive automobile industry, but also a miracle. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in just two years, Chrysler 300C has won more than 60 American and international awards.
In fact, apart from Chrysler Group, Beijing Benz-DaimlerChrysler Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as BBDC) also has high hopes for Chrysler 300C. A few days ago, Executive Vice President Dong revealed to the media that Chrysler 300C will become one of the flagship products in 2007.
Not long ago, under the auspices of BBDC, the advanced test drive and seminar specially held for Chrysler 300C was a complete success. During the activity, academic elites from major automobile colleges in China not only attended the event, but also gave a fair evaluation of the control system, power system and design style of Chrysler 300C through test drive activities and on-site explanations of enterprises, and expressed great confidence in the market prospect of domestic Chrysler 300 C.
As the saying goes, "amateurs watch the excitement and experts watch the doorway." During the test drive, the car directors reached a * * * understanding of the unique performance of the 300C. The excellent handling performance, surging power and expressive and shocking appearance of the Chrysler 300C not only conquered the global professional automobile media, but also won the recognition of automobile experts from China.
In the handling of Chrysler 300C, two of the nine experts attending the meeting gave 10 (full marks), 1 bit gave 9.8 points, and three gave 9.5 points. Song Chuanxue, deputy dean of the School of Automotive Engineering, Jilin University, believes that Chrysler 300C and Mercedes-Benz share some process technologies, such as transmission, steering, electrical and all-wheel drive systems, which have strong German characteristics in performance and are the perfect combination of German and American engineering technologies in handling. After sharing the exquisite technology of German automobile manufacturing industry, the technological level of Chrysler products has fully possessed the distinctive characteristics of European high-end cars, and achieved the perfect combination of handling and comfort.
During the half-day test drive, Chrysler 300C not only let the automobile experts feel the advanced technology from Germany and the United States, but also let them experience the fun of extreme driving and racing. Therefore, Chrysler 300C equipped with 5.7L HEMI engine has become the most tested vehicle by experts. Lin Yi, executive deputy director of the Electric Vehicle Engineering Technology Center of Beijing Institute of Technology, said after the test drive of the 5.7L Chrysler 300C: "Today, a non-professional driver like me also felt what the media often said-a strong sense of pushing back!" It is understood that this 5.7L Chrysler 300C equipped with multi-displacement system can close four cylinders within 40 milliseconds according to the output power, achieving a smooth transition between the eight-cylinder mode and the four-cylinder mode, and greatly improving fuel economy while enjoying the surging power.
For Chrysler, which is famous for its innovative inspiration, the perfect combination of retro and modern, expressive and tension design make every Chrysler car not only represent a lifestyle, but also represent a taste and a trend. As the flagship model of Chrysler brand, Chrysler 300C combines the highest achievements in the field of automobile design, showing its personality in elegance, romance and dignity, and showing a deeper "personality label" besides identity. Perhaps this is the most important point that Chrysler, as an automobile brand, can arouse the humanistic feelings of all experts on the spot.
"Shocking expressiveness" is the word most frequently used by automobile experts when referring to the design style of Chrysler 300C C. "Chrysler 300C, together with Audi and Mercedes-Benz, is also very eye-catching. From the front 45 degrees, the Chrysler 300C is indeed a masterpiece of the perfect combination of American style and German style. " Lan, Dean of School of Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, made no secret of his sincere appreciation in his speech. Cao Libo, director of the automotive department of the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering of Hunan University, is also fascinated by the design of Chrysler 300C C C. He said, "The design style of this car is refreshing, which really brings us a unique high-end feeling of international brands."
Shortly after the test drive by auto experts, when the new BBDC factory was officially completed, the reporter learned that Chrysler 300C would be put into production in BBDC world-class factory, which means that Chrysler 300C has also entered the countdown of domestic listing. Whether you love rigorous and exquisite German cars or passionate American cars, I believe Chrysler 300C will bring them different surprises and will not let them down. It can be said that Chrysler 300C is a "blockbuster" for Chrysler to re-enter China, which will not only blow the increasingly quiet luxury car market, but also open up a new road for Chrysler brand to regain its glory in China.
The extraordinary performance of Chrysler 300C
Structure:
The longest, widest and longest wheelbase at the same level. 5015×1880×1475 mm body size and 3050mm wheelbase.
The 5-link rear suspension system originated from Daimler far exceeds its competitors.
Breakthrough appearance and interior design;
The shape of the 300c is eye-catching and has the posture of a high-end luxury car. This situation has changed the design of the previous generation of 300m Fengrui, which is obviously an exaggerated version of the old Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the visual magnification effect is very high, but seeing the real car is not as exaggerated as in the photo. In addition to the front of the car, the front and rear fenders with large contours add a lot of domineering. Of course, the 18 inch wheel hub is also very stretchable, which makes people think of a new generation of Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan at a glance. The success of the first impression is a strong support for market performance. Of course, some people will think that this design is too exaggerated and exclusive, but the acceptance of modern people is relatively high, and most consumers, including young people, should be acceptable. After all, 300c has the capital of "losing people and not losing"!
Chrysler's large RV has always been comfortable. It has the same dna as Mercedes-Benz E-Class. In addition, the quiet and smooth operation of the large displacement engine makes the noise of the 300c very low. The texture, configuration and design of the interior have made great breakthroughs, but the details are not ideal and need to be improved. In the past, Chrysler didn't have much advantage. After all, the sales results are not ideal, but people who have driven do not deny the feeling of "value-for-money". In addition to high-quality equipment, the internal design is also very high-grade, and 300c is no exception. No matter the sound system, leather chair texture, instrument design, plastic material and equipment grade ... cars at this price in China are absolutely super-valued, and it is difficult to buy imported large-displacement rear-wheel drive cars at this price.
Mature and solid chassis, moderate control;
Although the same platform is adopted, the suspension of the 300c is not as tough as Mercedes-Benz E-Class, nor does it have the driving experience of American cars, which is basically neutral. I think this setting is very suitable for domestic road quality and the needs of high-end car buyers. After all, customers don't buy this big car for racing.
Mobility lacks the characteristics of rear wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz E-Class has always been a stable and solid fr style with neutral steering. Unless it's a wetland, it's not easy to oversteer. Unlike BMW, it's embarrassing to drive fast. Of course, this model is impossible to reverse. Its heavy body and American chassis adjustment make it less flexible than E-class. Therefore, driving the 300c will feel that the control is good, without the heavy feeling of the 300m huge front, but it is not flexible and sharp enough, just "the car is big but easy to drive", which is not a disadvantage for advanced car buyers. But don't compare with 530i! Basically, BMW belongs to sports, and their positioning is different, which is not a failure from the market positioning of 300c C.
Body vibration and handling floating feeling are not convergent enough;
Although the suspension is soft, the 300c is not as good as the E-class in suppressing the "crushing impact", and it has obvious suspension feeling when handling, and the high-speed driving stability is not as stable as the E-class. After all, the price difference between the two cars is big, and the customer groups are different, but the 300c can definitely meet the needs of most consumers. Here, we just look at the difference between the two cars with harsh eyes.
The power performance is mediocre, and there is no feature: it is a way for chryser to keep its own industry without using the engine and gearbox of m-benz. The v6 and 5.7l hemi v8 engines with displacement of 2.7 and 3.5 have no disadvantages of high vibration and noise, but maintain the advantages of American high torque, which are suitable for urban environment with slight exhaust noise but lack of characteristics. In short, they don't sound good. Don't think this is finding fault with the egg. To become a limousine, the sound of exhaust is also an indispensable part, which is a brand feature, otherwise it will not easily arouse the interest of buyers.
The rare highlight is the 5.7l Hami engine, which has pushed Chrysler's hemi technology to a new height after many years. This engine is full of power and excellent in economy, while keeping quiet and running smoothly. With a power of 250 kW and a torque of 525nm, this 5. 1 meter-long big guy can push from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, with a maximum speed of 250 km/h. It is equipped with the world's first engine multi-displacement system (mds). In the case of low power (low speed or constant speed), mds automatically closes four cylinders, thus improving fuel economy 10-20%. Although the effect is very small (after all, the base is not low), it also attracts many customers who dare not get their hands on large-displacement vehicles because of fuel consumption problems. The average fuel consumption of 3.5l urban driving is more than 15, and the traffic jam will definitely be worse. This is a fact that buyers of large-displacement cars must compromise with wallets. But the 300c is by no means the kind of high-class car that consumes a lot of oil and can't run, at least it doesn't lose money.
Four-speed automatic transmission is quite unfavorable to advanced cars. This does not mean that it must be five speeds. After all, the engine's torque output is excellent, and it's not the next race. A four-speed automatic gearbox is enough. However, the market is very realistic: now digital cameras have launched 8 million pixels. Although more than 60% users don't use such high pixels at all, buyers of high-end models rarely choose 5 million pixels. At present, the six-speed automatic manual transmission of large luxury cars has become the mainstream trend, and the four-speed transmission is certainly not very popular.
Comfort does not conform to China's national conditions;
The American style of the 300c is obvious in the interior space-emphasizing the front and ignoring the rear. The front seats are quite spacious and comfortable, and the backrest is very high and supportive, which can make more than 90% people feel comfortable even without waist support. The electric adjustment range is very large, which can meet the needs of weak women around 1.6 meters, and also allow large people around 1.9 meters to have enough room for activities. In contrast, the feeling of the rear passengers seems to be beyond the designer's consideration: the relatively backward B-pillar and the high and wide front seat back limit the vision of the rear row, and the leg space is not as plentiful as that of the front row. The chair surface is a little short, and the inclination is poor, which can't make the back seat passengers feel comfortable, but my height 188cm, the average person should not have this trouble, so I write it here for the big man. Sitting in the back is like sitting in the back of a coupe, which is a bit crowded and depressing. It can be said that the 300c located in business class fails to provide enough rear space and comfort, which is fatal.
Engine technology:
5.7L HEMI V8 engine with MDS variable displacement technology, and 3.5L and 2.7L engines with active intake supercharging function.
Powerful steering control. The steering system is derived from Daimler technology.
The unique foldable transmission shaft is perfectly combined with Daimler rear drive.
Security:
Safety body frame and high waistline design derived from Daimler technology. Five-star anti-collision body structure +6 variable damping system with airbag load sensing.
Function:

Chrysler 300C Chrysler's epoch-making works
Global sales exceeded 300,000 vehicles in the 25 months after listing; Won more than 60 global awards; Since 2006, the sales volume in China has increased by more than 200% compared with the same period of last year ... This series of market miracle data has made domestic consumers interested in Chrysler 300C, the creator of these numbers. At the same time, Chrysler, an "old car brand" with 80 years of classic inheritance, has also attracted great attention in the domestic market.
As one of Daimler-Chrysler's two major passenger car production groups, Chrysler Group has 80 years of classic inheritance, and it is in line with Chrysler, Jeep? And Dodge, there are also many models that have become representative works of various eras. The long-term development has made Chrysler present rich and colorful brand connotations, in which innovative personality design, strong and profound expressive force, unique charm full of self-confidence, elegance and fashion, and excellent scientific and technological quality can be harmoniously unified. Since the merger of 1998, Daimler-Chrysler has been pursuing technological innovation of products, and is committed to integrating the company's best engineering technology and technology to bring the best quality Chrysler brand products to users.
"Alphabet Series" is the most classic model of Chrysler brand. The history of 300 series can be traced back to 1955. This year, Chrysler launched the first car with an engine power of 300 HP, thus establishing the 300 series products. From 1955 to 1965, Chrysler continuously launched 300-letter series * * *1. 1957, Chrysler introduced the 300C. It is equipped with a HEMI engine with an output of 276kW, which continues to maintain the most powerful feature of the 300 series among similar models in the United States.
In 2004, Chrysler Group revived the rear-wheel drive car that had been interrupted for 65,438+05 years, and launched the Chrysler 300C again, which combined the innovative inspiration of Chrysler with the exquisite and rigorous engineering technology of Germany. At the same time, it also marks the return of HEMI engine to Chrysler brand family after nearly 50 years. After redesign, it has become a modern, high-performance, fuel-efficient and durable engine. The new 5.7L HEMI V8 engine has an output power of 250kW and an output torque of 525N.m It takes only 6.4 seconds from 0 to1300C km/h, and the top speed is 250km/h (electronic speed limit). This is a car with strong power and excellent handling.
Once the Chrysler 300C with German and American technologies was launched, it won wide acclaim from the industry and the market. Not only has it won more than 60 international awards in the world, but its performance in China market is equally eye-catching. In the first half of 2006, the sales volume in China increased by more than 200% compared with the same period of last year. This epoch-making work of Chrysler stood at the forefront of the high-end car market trend in China.
For the domestic high-end car market in the Warring States period, the emergence of Chrysler 300C has practical significance beyond the product itself. While its comprehensive technical indicators are excellent, it also has personality and humanistic color, which makes domestic consumers begin to re-examine the high-end car market. As a brand with a unique automobile culture, Chrysler even recently launched a limited edition, making it a classic collection through a more elegant front face design. It is reported that this well-received Chrysler 300C will also be rolled off the assembly line in Beijing soon. It is believed that the domestic Chrysler 300C will have a wider impact on the automobile market in China.
