Chrysler found the perfect opportunity to preview its upcoming range of ‘S’ models at the 6th Annual Spring Festival of LXs in Irvine, California this past weekend. The Detroit automaker showed off the “S” trimmed 2011MY 300 sedan, 200 Convertible and Town & Country in concept forms, though all three models are scheduled to enter production later this year starting with the 200 this spring.
According to Chrysler, the “S” treatment is a cosmetic package designed to appeal to younger customers that want something more “edgy” in terms of style. On the 300, this translates to a bespoke gunmetal finish, a new front grille, smoked headlamps and taillights, beefier alloy wheels in a unique design, a boot lid spoiler and if we’re not mistaken (since Chrysler has not released any official details), a lowered suspension. The interior also receives a makeover with red leather seats sporting the “S” logo and bespoke trim.
Chrysler has already confirmed the specs on the 200 Convertible ‘S’, which will be offered exclusively with a V6 engine. Unique styling features include as a special finish for the grille, dark headlamp surrounds, bespoke 18-inch aluminum wheels, black leather seats with suede inserts and a Boston Acoustics speaker system.
As for the refreshed Town & Country, the “S” trim adds new alloys, a mesh grille, silver accents on the body, and various interior upgrades including leather upholstery.
