caption_attribution_description: Australian built Chrysler Centura, which was closely related to the European Chrysler 180.
context_page_description: The Chrysler Centura is a midsize car which was produced by Chrysler Australia between 1975 and 1978. It was based on Chrysler Europe's Chrysler 180 model, but was also available with larger Australian-made Hemi Six engines. 19,770 Centuras were built.
context_section_description: The KC model (from June 1977 to the end of 1978) series dropped the 2.0 and 3.5 engines, but retained the 4.0-litre. The 4.0-litre comprised a low-compression (7.6:1) Hemi engine which ran on standard-grade fuel and aided fuel economy, and a high-compression two-barrel (9.0:1) version of the Hemi for greater performance and towing ability. The KC also featured greater Australian content, using VDO gauges, a Valiant-style steering wheel, steering column and various other parts from the larger Australian Valiant lineup. The KC was offered in GL or upscale GLX trims, along with the addition of sports package options.
  KC models could be differentiated by the use of capitalised and serifed typeface for the "Centura" badge (the KB had this in cursive) and a silver grille insert (KBs had a black grille with a silver border and highlights).
  By 1979, the Centura had been replaced by the four-cylinder Chrysler Sigma, of Mitsubishi origins.
