Chrysler Ypsilon world class engines

Chrysler's new Ypsilon is a mixture of market leader in style, technology, attractive design and world-class engines. All this is incorporated into a 3.8 million long 5dr car that is shorter than most rivals.

On sale in the UK now, the Ypsilon is certainly not a conservative entry "me-too" in the most hotly contested class cars in Europe. It is a high-end model in the body of a small car, original, full of character and orientation drivers who appreciate quality, elegance and innovation in equal measure. This marks a resurgence of Chrysler Group LLC, formed in 2009 as a strategic alliance with Fiat.

Chrysler's portfolio contains some of Europe's most recognizable vehicles, including the amazing living selling 300C and Grand Voyager minivan. Now, with the help of Fiat experience and knowledge in the areas of small and medium cars, Chrysler models can give compact, more environmentally friendly with the character traits of their luxury cars bigger.


Chrysler brand director Nigel Land says: "Through the launch of the Ypsilon and Delta now have a range that covers both the market for small and medium passenger car vehicles that are remarkably well designed, ensuring that they really are credible alternatives to mainstream them. are equipped with all the features you expect from a great Chrysler, integrated with European elegant interior design."

Chrysler Introduces New 8-Speed Automatic to this Car

If you have seven gearboxes and thinking too much, in contrast to Chrysler, which has even more gearboxes. starting this fall, 2012 300s and Dodge Chargers equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar VVT V6 engine will now have no less than 8 gears to choose from. Thank the heavens it’s an automatic.

The new transmission, dubbed the 845RE, is manufactured by German specialists ZF. ZF is known to do hi-tech transmissions for a variety of Audi, BMW, Bentley, Range Rover, and Rolls Royce models. Though the transmission will be initially supplied by ZF, Chrysler says that they will take over development of the eight-speed rower in their Kokomo, Indiana transmission plant sometime in the future.

The slick new transmission is slated to replace most of the five-speeds - which is an older version of a Mercedes-Benz designed transmission - in Chrysler’s lineup including V8s.

There are several reasons to move to an automatic eight-speed transmission, primarily fuel economy. Being able to keep the revs lower for a longer period of time will result in better - around 15% better - combined highway and city driving.

The 845RE is a fully electronic transmission that includes software featuring adaptive shifting characteristics depending on variables such as engine torque gradients, kick down, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, hill detection, friction detection, and downshift detection.

Chrysler hasn’t said much about performance upgrades that are in line with the new transmission, but we suspect that the new eight-speed will also keep you within torque band longer if you so choose to floor it. Of course, if the new transmission makes it to the V8 Chargers, we don’t have to convince you to floor it.
