Road Test

Looking at the Chrysler 300's basic spec sheet suggests an old-school freeway cruiser: rear-wheel drive, available V8 power, and sizeable dimensions. But there's much more to the story. Chrysler's flagship sedan is a capable, sophisticated, and luxuriously large sedan. As a brand, Chrysler may lack the cachet of Mercedes-Benz or Lexus, but the 300 gives up little to these more expensive rivals when it comes to ride comfort and quietness. The 300 packs plenty of punch in both V6 and V8 forms. The well-tailored cabin is packed with useful features and amenities, including the easy-to-use optional Uconnect 8.4 touch-screen infotainment system.

Model History

2011-2023

2011 Redesign Year

A much-improved redesign arrived for 2011, making this car a respectable, large luxury cruiser. The spacious and luxuriously trimmed interior is quiet and offers an accommodating rear seat. With plenty of trunk space, the 300 is also great for road trips. Its well-tailored cabin is packed with useful features and amenities, including Chrysler's easy-to-use optional Uconnect 8.4 touch-screen infotainment system. This touch-screen infotainment interface is one of the best out there. A very nice eight-speed automatic was added to the V6 in 2012 and extended to the V8s three years later. A full suite of electronic drivers' aids is offered; including forward-collision warning with auto brake, lane-departure warning with assist, and active cruise control. Blind-spot warning with rear-cross-traffic alert is also offered. 2023 is the 300's final year.

2005-2010

2005 Redesign Year

Boldly styled, the Chrysler 300 replaced the 300M for 2005, offering a choice of two V6 engines or, in 300C trim, a strong 340-hp V8. While its look attracted a lot of attention and the interior was exceptionally roomy, the styling also impeded outward visibility and made the cabin feel claustrophobic. Dynamically, this version of the 300C accelerates well, but drinks fuel and its handling is unexceptional. We found the ride in the V6 Touring trim to be supple and controlled, but the 300C feels stiffer. IIHS side-crash tests without the optional side airbags were poor. Curtain airbags were added as a standard feature for 2010.
