2004 Chrysler Crossfire Road Test

4-7-2003

by Trevor Hofmann , Canadian Auto Press

If you've been in an SLK you might notice a few similarities on the center stack and dash especially. While the majority of surfaces are unique to the Chrysler, the Crossfire makes use of its Mercedes sibling's elegant HVAC controls, including its row of rectangular air vents, plus the tidy assortment of secondary buttons below.

Altogether its cabin is beyond intimate, with slit-like side windows at near shoulder height and a headliner that wraps down near eye level. But unlike the TT coupe, a car that might be closest in general size and layout for comparisons, the Chrysler doesn't feel claustrophobic. The interior designers added a light colored headliner to make sure occupants experience an open airiness.

"Chrysler Crossfire's interior has a clean, precise, machined appearance," commented Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President of Design. "The attention to detail throughout very much reflects the exterior design cues which provide a consistent look and feel that is very important for such a special coupe."

Features include the expected power windows, power door locks with keyless entry and power mirrors, while adding dual zone air-conditioning with semi-automatic temperature control and electrostatic air filtration, premium insulation, 8-way power adjustable driver's seat and 4-way passenger, the latter with the LATCH child seat anchor system and an airbag sensor.
