<br />During the Jeep Grand Cherokee press conference this morning, Chrysler vice chairman Jim Press gave the assembled journalists a sneak peak at the interior of the forthcoming Chrysler 300. While little more than a quick glimpse at of the instrument panel flashed up on the screen for a moment, we were able to grab this snapshot for you. We're sorry that the resolution is not as crisp as we'd like it to be, but until Auburn Hills slips us a high-res jpeg, we figure you'd still enjoy an advanced look.<br /><br />What it shows is an all-new instrument panel of what looks to be a higher-end model (note the abundance of woodgrain trim and leather surfaces), with the centerpiece being a new widescreen navigation system housed in an oval-shaped enclosure flanked by curved air vents. As expected, there is a wood and chrome-ringed steering wheel, switchgear in the standard places (including dual-zone climate control), a gated console shifter, and what looks to be a very large center console.<br /><br />The interior is markedly more conservative than what Chrysler teased with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/11/detroit-2009-chrysler-200c-concept-what-the-sebring-should-hav/">200C Concept</a> from January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but admittedly, that concept was designed to give a future glimpse of the 300's kid brother, the Sebring). The 200C employed such show car details as a chrome single-spoke steering wheel, a screen in place of the main gauge binnacle, and a sophisticated all-in-one climate/stereo/nav unit that flowed out of a center console.<br /><br />Despite that, the 300 "spy shot" looks to be a major leap forward in terms of unified style and potentially materials. <br /><br />No definitive word yet on a date when the rest of the car will be revealed, so for now, 300 fans, you'll have to be content with this.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/08/new-york-chrysler-gives-a-sneak-peak-at-the-next-300-interior/">New York: Chrysler gives a sneak peak at next 300 interior</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:28:00 EST.
