The most satisfying Chrysler sedan you'll get, the three hundred returns for the 2012 model year with higher performance at the entry level and also the high finish, and with a lot of tech and luxury options.
It's a swaggering hulk of a sedan, and also the redesign it received last model year created the Chrysler three hundred a a lot of appealing luxury machine in nearly each sense. The broad-shouldered look is a lot of muted than within the first-generation automotive, and also the cartoonish grille and brash details are toned down. Suave's the word, not showy. The cabin's richer, too, with regrouped controls and an LCD touchscreen taking an area within the middle of the dash, ringed in metallic trim. Wood trim swaps out for a carbon-fiber look on some versions, whereas others wear a a lot of naturally finished wood that is trendy and chic.
The base Chrysler three hundred sports a 292-horsepower version of the company's new mainstay Pentastar three.6-liter V-6. A five-speed automatic swaps out for a brand new eight-speed transmission on some versions. The new transmission combines glorious shift response, a sport mode and shift paddles to show in 0-60 mph runs of regarding eight seconds--and highway fuel economy at an EPA-rated thirty one miles per gallon. The higher-end luxury 300S and 300C are often fitted with a five.7-liter HEMI V-8 with 363 horsepower and a five-speed automatic; they are a lot of aggressively aural and insistent in their acceleration, capable of sub-six-second times. At the highest of the vary, the three hundred SRT8 has the most recent massive HEMI, the 6.4-liter with 470 horsepower, teamed with a five-speed automatic sending power to the rear wheels. Acceleration drops to but 5 seconds to sixty mph, and also the SRT8 belts out a meaty, NASCAR-ish throb that few cars--even musclecars--can match.
The 300's handling rises from controlled to really sporty as you maximize the performance ladder. All models have an absorbent ride and responsive electrohydraulic steering, however all-wheel-drive versions get a particular tuning and 19-inch wheels, whereas the 300S and SRT8 have up to 20-inch wheels and even tauter suspensions, and on the SRT8, adaptive shocks with traditional and sport modes of ride management. The three hundred does not drive or feel tiny in the least, however it's a big-car charm while not the standard body roll and mushy, pitchy body motions.
While it does not have the acute spread-out house of a Toyota Avalon or VW Passat, the three hundred is one in every of the a lot of spacious sedans in its category. The front seats have smart bolstering and nice head space, even when a sunroof is fitted. Overall dimensions haven't modified a lot of from the primary generation, however the rear seat feels a lot of spacious--mostly as a result of thinner roof pillars and bigger glass areas brighten up the inside. The trunk's massive, though it is a few cubic feet keep of the Taurus' huge cargo hold.
The three hundred has the standard airbags and electronic traction controls. A package of safety technology on higher trim levels adds on lane-departure warnings, blind-spot monitors, a forward-collision warning system, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise management.
All editions accompany normal power windows, locks and mirrors; LED daytime running lights; pushbutton begin and keyless entry; an influence driver seat; cloth upholstery; dual-zone climate control; satellite radio; a USB port; and an eight.4-inch LCD touchscreen show. The 300S adds sport leather front seats; shift paddles; piano black trim; and performance tires. The 300C gets a premium grade of leather upholstery; natural wood trim; navigation; power-adjustable pedals; and a heated steering wheel. SRT8s have carbon-fiber trim; heated and ventilated front seats; and a layer of instrumentation in its navigation system that displays performance stats like acceleration times and lateral grip.
