Wait whatttt, Lancia has a Chrysler 300?!

[@o_o-_-8639]

Well actually it was designed by both lancia and chrysler the only difference was that the lancia had also a v6 diesel and the lancia version was produced from 2011 to 2014 and it didn’t sell well because it was too big and too designed for an American market and not italian-european still it’s a good car

@@o_o-_-8639 what year did Lancia buy Chrysler?

[@TheCrankshaftRotator]

Absolutely great fuel consumption for such a big car with a relatively big engine, same level than most 2,0 r4 Turbo engines in compareable cars.

[@uscruiser]

I really love those big Chryslers. They´re just beautiful with it´s unique styling, high comfort and they´re not too expensive. I have a first generation 2009 300 with 3.5 V6 and it makes fun every day. Of course fuel consumtion is a bit higher since the 3.5 is an old engine and the 5-Speed is not the most innovative. I´m averaging around 10 liters on the autobahn (driving between 130-150 km/h). Very underratet cars, specially the new ones!

[@Mr11ESSE111]

Lower consumption then some hybrids especially thst 3008 hybrid junk or 508

[@o_o-_-8639]

Yh well it’s just because they use a turbo 1.6 4 cyl engine which has to work quite hard…

[@Mr11ESSE111]

@@o_o-_-8639 they is lower 1,2liter engines just like in that astra which consume pretty low even at higher speeds

[@o_o-_-8639]

@@Mr11ESSE111 yes but you were talking about hybrids and the hybrid ones have the 1.6 prince engine

[@Mr11ESSE111]

To see L in gears is nostalgic , the consumption and performance is impressive with its age and size just wish it' stays at 6th gear at 200kmh

There’s a diesel Chrysler version in Ireland and U.K.

[@BrokenAdam770]

It's too bad that the North American Spec (NAS) 2011 to 2014 Chrysler 300 does not use rear amber turn signals like those at 12:00.

[@PaulBruno-y7p]

I don't like these new Chrysler 300 cars but this lancia version catches my eye

[@Seba03111976]

Good performance, good consumption. The wood is plastic?

[@Ben-nn3oe]

This seems to be the Platinum Trim level. The executive trim level wich is above the platinum has real wood accents, aluminum and a fully leather wrapped dashboard

[@BeleducMartello]

It´s real wood. Quality of that interior is beyond what anybody would have ever expected

[@foxisglee]

I didn’t know Lancia has Chrysler 300

[@ChrisSkyyy]

to be honest, Lancia and chrysler designed it together.

[@rahimi4762]

They are both owned by Stellantis Group

[@hb-ol9oc]

next time you show a car do some vacuum cleaning before.

[@lucc26]

Ma i consumi a 80/100/120kmh che vengono mostrati sono reali? Mi sembra impossibile per un auto di quella grandezza e peso...

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Ciao, possiedo questa macchina. Sì, questo consumo di carburante è reale. Solo se guidi dolcemente. La mia media su strada di campagna è di 7,5-8,5 litri se delicata, con molta potenza, quindi oltre 9 litri o 10. Sull'autostrada svizzera 100-120 kmh ho una media di 6,5 litri. Sull'autostrada tedesca 120-140 ho una media di 7,5-8 litri. Viaggio a lunga distanza attraverso la Germania con 160 kmh di controllo automatico della velocità e talvolta più lento a causa del limite di velocità e in parte accelero fino a 200 kmh. Dopo 1000 km di viaggio ho una media di 9,6 litri sul computer, ma alla stazione di servizio calcolo e arriva una media di 9,3 litri. Città oltre 10 litri quindi 10-12 in città o più. Sono molto soddisfatto di questa macchina. Questa vettura ha 8 marce automatiche e a 120 kmh è solo 1500 giri che è così basso.

[@lucc26]

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK E' fantastico. Davvero non pensavo che un 3.6 benzina potesse essere così "parco" nei consumi, e per questo ero alla ricerca di una Thema diesel. A questo punto non devo far altro che capire se posso fare a meno della versione dall'allestimento più ricco che c'è nella versione diesel, la Executive, che, mi è parso di capire, non esiste in quella a benzina. Ma devo verificare. Grazie mille

[@DroidTSK]

@@lucc26 Ormai bandiranno la circolazione dei diesel. Prova a vedere se nel resto d'Europa potresti trovare una Thema 3.6 Executive visto che gli allestimenti di solito variano da Paese a Paese

What does L mean in the gearbox?

L is for Low. It keeps the transmission in lower gears for traction used for going down hill or snow/ice conditions.
