Interiors A-Go-Go: Chrysler Revamps Its Lineup


Chrysler is trying to right some wrongs and is stepping up to the plate when it comes to interiors. The Jeep Compass and Patriot will be treated to refreshed interiors this fall (the Caliber will follow). As for the Sebring and Avenger, the new interiors might be appearing VERY soon. My friend Drew over at Left Lane News had a chance to speak with Chrysler's Jim Press and according to Press we should see the new interiors in February.

Now this is my own opinion, but don't expect HUGE CHANGES in these cars. Basically, you'll see better textures and some softer plastics in the elbow areas. Certainly these improvements will be welcome, but the overall design of the interiors will remain the same. I'm fairly sure of these points because while it is relatively simple to change the textures and quality of plastics, it would be much more complex to change actual shapes or layouts inside.
