The Chrysler 300 family comes in Touring, Limited and 300C trim. The Touring and Limited trims receive a new 3.6L V6, while the 300C comes with a 5.7L Hemi V8 and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drivetrain. With two different powertrains available, the Chrysler 300 spans a wide range from an affordable, spacious and powerful sedan to a serious luxury and performance. The base powertrain on the Chrysler 300 Touring is a 3.6L V6 that makes 250 horsepower. The 300C offers a 360 hp 5.7L Hemi V8 engine, which is also flex-fuel compatible. Both engines come standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick manual control. The available all-wheel drive system combines an active transfer case for seamless response when traction is needed and front-axle disconnect to help improve fuel economy when grip is sure. In any of its variants, the 300 is a spacious sedan with a comfortable ride, supportive seating and a back seat with enough headroom and legroom for adults. Trunk space is cavernous, and the interior is very well isolated from road and wind noise. The base 300 Touring model is the definition of affordable luxury. It comes well-equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, heated power mirrors, a UConnect stereo with an 8.4-inch touch-screen display, power front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows and locks, dual-zone air conditioning and Keyless Go. The 300's strong safety feature list includes traction control, stability control, brake assist with Ready Alert and Rainy day brake support. Front, side and a driver's knee airbags are also standard.The 300 Limited ups the wheels to an 18-inch variety, adds fog lamps, chrome exterior mirrors, an upgraded audio system, heated front seats and leather seating.The 300C is the top of the lineup. As such, it gets Chrysler's powerful 5.7L "Hemi" V8 engine that makes 360 horsepower and 389 lb-feet of torque. The engine's flex-fuel capable and features a multi-displacement system, which turns off cylinders while cruising to save fuel. The 300C also gets SmartBeam headlights, rain-sensitive wipers, exterior chrome trim, standard Garmin navigation, heated rear seats, heated and cooled cupholders, wood trim and power adjustable pedals and a ParkView rear back-up camera. The Limited offers the Luxury Group, which includes many of the luxury items found on the 300C such as heated and cooled cup holders, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals and interior wood trim. The SafetyTec Group, available on the Limited and the 300C, adds high-tech safety equipment, including adaptive speed control, HID headlamps, blind-spot and cross-path detection, ParkSense front and rear park assist system, rear fog lamps and rain-sensitive wipers.On the 300C also offers 20-inch bright aluminum wheels, a 500-watt amplifier and a subwoofer as well as a power sunroof.
The 300 gets redesigned styling inside and out. The front is all-new, and gets a more streamlined appearance, with a smaller grille and new headlights and front spoiler, all of which strongly suggest Audi. The rear gets LED taillights, subtle chrome and integrated tailpipes. The base engine is a new 3.6L V6--more powerful and more efficient than the one that came on the 2010 model. A new SRT8 is planned for later in the model year.
