2017 Chrysler Town & Country Has Foot-Activated Doors, Nine-Speed Auto - Motor Trend
According to Automotive News , the 2017 Chrysler Town & Country will feature an upgraded 3. 6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a new nine-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive model with an electrically powered rear axle is on the docket, as is a new plug-in hybrid model. After the standard model arrives in 2016, the plug-in version will debut later in the year with an expected 75-mpge rating. Drivers will be able to open the Town & Country's doors and the rear liftgate with the swipe of a foot underneath a sensor below the doors. A concept version of the model first debuted at the 2012 Detroit auto show, featuring some unusual design elements. We recently spotted what looked like a Chrysler Town & Country prototype , sporting a more conventional shape. The 2017 Chrysler Town & Country goes into production in February at FCA's Windsor Assembly Plant in Canada. After that, the lower-market Grand Caravan may be headed for the chopping block , allowing FCA to focus all its energy on the promising new Town & Country. Source: wot.motortrend.com
