Bold American design that has broken the segment model for six decades

Confident looks, expressive materials and world-class execution make the Chrysler 300 stand apart from the competition.

 

At the front of the latest Chrysler 300, a redesigned fascia features a more sculptured surface, taller, more prominent grille with a unique dimensional texture and chrome grille surround. The grille contains the Chrysler wing badge, which appears to float within the dramatic grille texture and highlights the new "face of Chrysler."

 

Nestled below the upper grille is an elegantly drawn chrome Mobius strip, which outlines the lower grille opening and extends outward, surrounding the new optional LED fog lamps. This new detail reinforces the Chrysler brand's new design direction and provides the Chrysler 300 with even more visual presence.

 

Bi-functional projector beam headlamps are available with adaptive forward lighting (AFL) to better illuminate road curves ahead, while integrated LED-illuminated daytime running lamps (DRL) form a "C" shape for unmistakable brand identity. New LED fog lamps are available and provide a consistent white illumination at the front.

 

From the side, unmistakably strong, yet subtly executed shoulder lines pay homage to the Chrysler 300 series design heritage and define the correlation between front and rear wheel arches. A high beltline stays true to the Chrysler 300 sedan's signature proportion, while its elegantly tailored chrome side window surrounds and available chrome mirrors hint at the luxurious interior within. Seven new wheel designs, ranging from 17 inches (431.8mm) to wider and wheel-well-filling 20 inches (508mm), provide the Chrysler 300 with a planted, road-holding look.

 

Finishing the Chrysler 300 sedan's powerful rear stance is a new sculpted LED tail lamp with an illuminated halo, providing a unique signature appearance. A restyled rear fascia has a more fluid surface and features a tailored chrome fascia trim accent. Below, a new lower valance in black provides visual width and lightens the appearance of the sedan. Last, a pair of elegantly drawn, polished exhaust tips are placed in the corners to give the Chrysler 300 an upscale athletic appearance.

 

An interior wrapped in American style with world-class materials, craftsmanship and technology 

Inside the Chrysler 300, passengers will be immersed in a sophisticated blend of hand-sculpted fluid shapes, high quality and innovative material choices inspired by American cities, precision craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and thoughtful, clever features. When designing the latest Chrysler 300, the team incorporated unique design elements and utilised authentic materials to create an interior identity that is comfortable yet beautiful - and one that could only be born in Detroit.

 

Class-exclusive standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission balances V8 performance with segment-leading 31 mpg (7.59 L/100km) highway fuel efficiency

Once limited to sedans costing twice as much, the latest Chrysler 300 now offers the innovative TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission standard on every model.

 

New to Chrysler 300 models with the 5.7-litre HEMI® V8 engine is the state-of-the-art TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. By design, this gearbox provides world-class shift quality, refinement, fuel efficiency and Sport mode. Paired with this legendary engine, these Chrysler 300 models deliver 363 hp, 394 lb.-ft. of torque, 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in less than 6 seconds and class-leading performance with respect to fuel economy.

 

Chrysler 300C models with the 292 hp (300 hp on 300S model) 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine also feature the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission as standard, offering class-leading fuel efficiency - but with plenty of power to spare!

 

Most technologically advanced vehicle in its class thanks to an array of easy-to-use, state-of-the-art advanced technology features

From its updated award-winning Uconnect system, to the availability of voice texting, 3D navigation and premium audio systems, the Chrysler 300 delivers a slew of high-tech features for a luxurious driving experience and unparalleled value. The available navigation system accommodates one-step voice-controlled destination entry and enhanced 3D navigation map graphics, making it simple for drivers to recognise where they are and where they need to go.

 

Chrysler 300 offers more than 80 safety and security features; leverages state-of-the-art driver-assist features

In addition to building on its "Top Safety Pick" credentials from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Chrysler 300 offers more than 80 safety and security features, including many that are new - these include Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus, which provides autonomous braking and, under certain circumstances, slows or brings the vehicle to a full stop when frontal collision appears imminent.

 

Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus with Full Stop helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead and, under certain traffic conditions, the system can bring the Chrysler 300 to a full stop without driver intervention. New Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist introduces subtle steering-wheel input to alert the driver of inadvertent lane departure and assist with corrective action.

 

Enthusiast-inspired rear-wheel-drive architecture with advanced technological solutions

The chassis of the latest Chrysler 300 is designed, engineered and fine-tuned to deliver world-class performance and efficiencies, thanks to its advanced technological solutions, which include:

  • New standard Electric power steering (EPS) that provides added efficiency and driving ease in low-speed situations and when parking, and tuned for added responsiveness during spirited driving
  • All-new, lightweight cast-aluminium axles and axle housings that provide weight savings and help reduce parasitic friction
  • Enthusiast-desired Sport mode (included on 300C models with V8) that instantly transforms the sedan's performance and personality by:
  • "S" gear selector enables sport engine and transmission calibration, more responsive accelerator pedal calibration and permanent paddle-shift mode
  • "Sport" button enables sport-tuned steering calibration and temporary paddle-shift mode, in addition to sport engine and transmission calibration, and increased responsiveness of the accelerator pedal calibration.
