[/h]November 26, 2012 , Los Angeles - Chrysler – the inventors of the minivan – is bringing modern design to the segment with the 2013 Town & Country S model. Debuting at the 2012 Los Angeles International Auto Show, the Town & Country S is the latest “S” model in the Chrysler line-up, joining the 200 sedan and convertible and 300 sedan. The Chrysler Town & Country S gets exterior and interior enhancements as well as some standard equipment commonly associated with top-line models.

"We tailored the new Town & Country S for the active and style minded consumers. It's the downtown style for the Town & Country’s uptown looks,” said Saad Chehab, President and CEO – Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "It's more than fitting that we unveil this vehicle in Los Angeles given Town & Country S represents yet another modern take of ‘313’ in the ‘310.’”

Available in Brilliant Black, Deep Cherry Red, Stone White or Billet Silver, the 2013 Town & Country S gets revised trim that adds contrast to the minivan’s typically bright exterior treatment. A black chrome grille is combined with black-background Chrysler Winged badges front and rear, a black rear fascia step pad, “S” model badging, 17-inch aluminum wheels with polished face and black-painted pockets and blacked-out headlight bezels (delayed availability).

The interior features a monotone black interior unique to the Town & Country S. It starts with the Black Torino leather seats with an “S” logo embroidered in the seat backs and black Ballistic cloth seat inserts. The seats also feature grey stitching as do the door armrests. Piano Black gloss appliques are found on the instrument panel and on the spokes of the black leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the Chrysler Winged badge on the wheel matches the black background-look of the exterior badging. Finishing interior touches include a black headliner and upper consoles, black center console and an “S” logo in the instrument cluster.

The segment-exclusive dual-screen Blu-Ray DVD system with HDMI input, two USB recharging ports, a 12v outlet and a 115v two-prong outlet is standard. This system, new for 2013, allows rear seat passengers to view standard and Blu-Ray DVDs or to play a high-definition video game system on the new, higher definition, screens. Wireless headphones allow back seat passengers to enjoy this state-of-the-art system without forcing front seat passengers to hear the accompanying audio.

The 2013 Town & Country S also features a performance suspension that adds a new level of handling dynamics to the driving experience, yet still provides a comfortable ride that’s expected in a luxury minivan.

Town & Country’s award-winning powertrain delivers best-in-class horsepower without sacrificing fuel efficiency. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine is a two-time “Ward’s 10 Best Engine” winner and produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The V-6 is mated to the 62TE six-speed automatic transmission. A fuel economizer mode helps the driver maximize fuel efficiency, and premium, lower-rolling-resistance tires, and low-drag brake calipers and rear bearings make great fuel economy possible. Town & Country achieves 17 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city, 25 on the highway.

The 2013 Chrysler Town & Country offers over 40 available safety, security and technology features, providing customers the safety they expect to ensure peace of mind when traveling. Standard safety features include ParkView rear back up camera, front seat-mounted air bags, a driver-side inflatable knee blocker, advanced multi-stage driver and front passenger air bags, side-curtain air bags for all three rows, and electronic stability control, including Brake Assist and all-speed traction control. Optional on Touring and standard on Touring L and Limited models is the SafetyTec Group consisting of rain-sensitive windshield wipers, Smartbeam headlamps, ParkSense rear park assist system, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection.

New for 2013 is standard trailer sway damping that monitors a towed trailer’s behavior and automatically uses Town & Country’s anti-lock braking system to mitigate any swaying motions.

The 2013 Chrysler Town & Country minivan is built at Chrysler Group LLC’s Windsor Assembly Plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

A me non dispiace...

[PaoloGTC]

Ottimo per quel che deve fare, ed è giusto che sia così, ma quel fanale anteriore imho è tremendo come composizione dell'ottica. Sembra uno di quei fari-proto che mettono sui muli, quando il vano è già sagomato giusto ma dentro ci mettono quello che hanno per le mani sul momento.

Devo dire che sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso dalla cartella stampa, a leggere il titolo già immaginavo toni sensazionalistici sulla sportività di questo allestimento.

Lancia Voyager LX is coming?

[matias]

mi piace molto, ma sono più di 40000 € ... e di dimensioni molto grandi,

[nubironaSW]

Terribile... La linea è vecchia e sa sempre più da carro funebre. Poi non ci fanno neppure la versione commerciale... vuoi mettere con lo Scudo?

Secondo me, uno dei (tanti) grandi errori del Sergione Internazionale.

Uccide la produzione in Italia per rivitalizzare quella Usa dove Obama gli da i dine'... Gli affari sono affari, ovvio.

Mi fermo per non andare troppo OT.

[Gabbro]

A me per la categoria non pare per niente male...un salottone viaggiante, molto furgoneggiante come sono tutti.

Alla fine è, pur nella sua austerità ( nella prima foto manca solo un agente della CIA che scorta il presidente ), sempre bello, per quanto lo possano essere questi megamonovolume.

Tutto rigorosamente imho.

[poliziottesco]

ma vedere questa vettura per quello che e', cioe' un executive people carrier per il mercato USA no e'? Spesso ci vogliono spazio e tecnologia senza necessariamente dover avere una Maybach in dotazione

Per quello che hanno in mano IMHO e' un ottimo lavoro...
