The breathtaking new Crossfire coupé marks the start of a new era for Chrysler.
This is a car that epitomises Chrysler brand values, delivering expressive design and romantic allure in a high quality premium package with confident dynamics.
The Crossfire's styling sets the tone for Chrysler's future models. Confidently American, its poised stance and boat-tail rear-end draw admiring glances from all around. It is also full of pleasing details, such as the central spine that starts at the front grille and ends between the dual exhaust pipes – this affords the car a chiselled, carved appearance.
The theme continues in the cabin, where occupants are greeted by a high quality, luxurious facia that has the feel of a twin-cockpit. The centre console has a clean, precise and machined appearance, while the seats are trimmed in high-grade leather. There's a generous array of equipment, as you'd expect from Chrysler. The seats are powered, the air conditioning is dual zone and the Infinity® Modulus CD system features twin subwoofers.
Active safety provision is no less impressive, with Electronic Stability Control, ABS, four airbags and a tyre pressure monitoring system fitted as standard.
Mechanically, the Crossfire reaffirms the value of Chrysler's partnership with Mercedes-Benz.
The Crossfire's 215bhp, 3.2-litre V6 engine, for example was developed using Mercedes-Benz technology.
It delivers storming performance – 0-62mph takes just 6.5sec – and is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearbox. The sophisticated fully independent suspension system delivers sports car handling.
With prices starting from just £27,260 on the road, the Chrysler Crossfire proves that style and exclusivity need not carry a high price.

Diesel appeal for PT Cruiser
The charismatic Chrysler PT Cruiser range is now more attractive than ever with the addition of the 2.2 CRD common-rail diesel engine co-developed by Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz.
The latest generation common-rail technology ensures this is a smooth, effortless performer. It develops 119bhp and an impressive 221lb ft of torque – enough for a brisk 0-62mph time of 12.1secs and a top speed of 114mph.
What's more, it enables the PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD to return a healthy 40.9mpg on the combined cycle with carbon dioxide emissions of 185g/km.
The new engine expands and enhances the appeal of the PT Cruiser range. Here is a distinctive alternative to a conventional hatch that combines the style and heritage of the Chrysler brand with outstanding practicality, class-leading spaciousness and exceptional interior comfort and versatility.
Above all, the style of the PT Cruiser costs you less than you think: the range starts at just £12,995 on the road for the 2.0 Classic and rises to £17,200 for the 2.2 CRD Limited.
Three trim levels are available – Classic, Touring and Limited – with every model fitted with air conditioning, four airbags, ABS and cruise control as standard.

Voyager – now with free servicing
THE appeal of the Chrysler Voyager – the world's most popular MPV – has been enhanced with the introduction of two years' free servicing.
The package covers the cost of labour, parts and lubricants as recommended by Chrysler service schedules for the first 24 months or 24,000 miles.
It will provide additional peace of mind for company car drivers who also benefit from a three-year/60,000-mile warranty, three years European roadside assistance and a seven-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion guarantee.
More than 10 million Voyagers have been sold worldwide in the last 20 years and UK sales recently passed the 30,000 mark. It's not difficult to see why. With prices starting from just £18,495 for the 2.4 SE, the Voyager offers outstanding value for money. There's a choice of a 2.4, 3.3 V6 or the 2.5 CRD common rail diesel, and four trim levels – SE, LX, Limited and Limited XS.
Even the entry-level SE, though, boasts a luxury specification that includes ABS, four airbags, CD player and dual zone air conditioning.
