If there was a bright spot during the last, bleak decade of Chrysler’s history, it is the success of the handsome, full-size Chrysler 300
sedan. From the moment it went on sale in 2004, the 300 proved wildly
popular with ballers, enthusiasts, businessmen, and family guys alike.
Now the time has come for the 2011 Chrysler 300
to relieve its successful predecessor, and we were able to catch one
out on an R&D jog as it prepares, reinvigorated, to reenter the
full-size-sedan fray.

Still swaddled in cladding, the 300
prototype leaves much yet to the imagination, although everything we
can see agrees with the rendering of the 2011 Chrysler 300 we posted
back in February of 2009. The car’s thick-waisted proportions haven’t
changed much, even as the new grille is canted back much more than
before and the lower hoodline leads into a body that rises slightly
from nose to tail. No one should be surprised that the gangsta-chopped
beltline continues, but the fixed quarter windows in the rear doors are
new for 2011. Chrysler has said in the past that one of the goals for
the redesign was to address visibility issues, and so this new car has
more glass and thinner pillars. Rear fender flares match the bulging
front wheel arches that carry over from the current model, and the
300’s designers have cleaned up the tail, which now integrates exhaust
finishers. Finally, from certain angles, portions of the lighting
elements can be seen; the headlamps contain integrated HID bulbs, while
stacked taillamps similar to those of today’s 300 will be lit by LEDs
(at least on some models).

The most welcome improvements, however,
likely will appear inside the car. Indeed, the weakest aspect of the
current 300 is the low-rent interior, and although our images don’t
capture the new car’s interior, more recent Chrysler products—the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge
Ram being the prime examples—have been blessed with cabins that can
handily hold their own within their segments. We have no reason to
believe that as Chrysler’s flagship, the 300 won’t boast equally massive
improvements in quality and design. (Check out the new Charger’s
interior for an idea of the 300’s appointments.) No word yet on the bulk
of innovations or interior features for 2011—we do know the car will
feature a seven-inch touch screen in the center console—but we expect
the environment to remain cushy and conservatively styled, with the most
luxe models boasting leather and genuine wood trim, and a wicked SRT
model bringing sportier detailing and aggressively bolstered seats.
