For the ’11 model year, the all-wheel-drive version of the Dodge Charger sport sedan, the Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country minivans and – insiders say – the yet-to-be-unveiled Chrysler 300 fullsize sedan are lower than their predecessors.
the new models will have over current Chrysler products is that they will be riding much lower, aiding fuel economy, handling and styling. This is a strategy that many of Chrysler’s competitors have adopted and now Chrysler will too.
Speaking with Ward’s Auto, Gilles said “lowering the car looks better. It looks a little bit smarter. It handles better. And more important is the fuel economy."
There are several techniques designers can employ. These include using lowered suspension, low profile tires and aero enhancements.
So the auto maker explored why it should or should not lower its vehicles. “And there are more pros than cons,” Gilles tells Ward’s.
“Lowering the car looks better. It looks a little bit smarter. It handles better. And more important is the fuel economy.”
And get used to it, Gilles says, adding low profiles will become a hallmark of Chrysler Group vehicles.
“We can do it either with aero bits, like on the Citadel and Crew,” he says, referring to trim levels on the all-new ’11 Dodge Durango SUV.

“We lowered the fascia as low as possible. We don’t have the same approach angle as the Grand Cherokee,” Gilles says of the Durango’s Jeep-brand platform-mate. “It was a conscious effort to improve fuel economy.”
On the sporty RT model, the Durango rides nearly 1 in. (2.54 cm) lower than the entry-level Express trim “to get the handling that much better.”
