Chrysler recently announced that they’ve developed an innovative new system that will increase the fuel economy of their 2009 AWD Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger to rival the current mileage of their existing RWD platform.

This system was one of several new technologies that Chrysler revealed at its Auburn Hills technical center.

Over the last year, product development teams at Chrysler have been working extremely hard to improve their current model lineup. With over 500 improvements already made, Frank Klegon (VP of Product Development) promises that there are even more on the horizon including reduced engine noise for the Jeep Patriot and Dodge Caliber and soft-touch materials in some of the vehicles’ interiors.

This new and innovative all-wheel drive system improves fuel economy by disconnecting the front axle from the drivetrain until the all-wheel drive system becomes necessary for safety and control.

As I check out our current inventory, we’ve got a little over two dozen Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger vehicles that are a blast to drive and boast great fuel mileages already!
