2C3CCAAGXPH610321 – Chrysler 300, Touring

(2C3CCAAGXPH610321)The 2023 model year is the last for the well-worn Chrysler 300 full-size sedan. This latest version, introduced in its current form in 2011, is well into its golden years but still spry. Its familiar shape still gives off a bad-ass vibe, and its interior is quite roomy. While it’s not as fuel-efficient nor as well-equipped as its competitors, it’s still a reasonable option for those in the market for a full-size sedan—a segment that gets smaller and smaller each year.

What’s New for 2023(2C3CCAAGXPH610321)?

For its last model year, the big Chrysler four-door sees the re-introduction of the 300C, which features the same muscular 6.4-liter V-8 that’s long been available in Dodge Challengers and Chargers. It’s rated at 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of twist. Chrysler says the bigger powerplant will enable the most muscular 300 to sprint to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. We’ll know if that’s a solid claim when we take one to our test track. Other enhancements to the 300C include a refined interior with carbon fiber accents, Brembo brakes, and adaptive suspension – similar to the hardware found on Dodge Charger and Challenger Scat Pack models – and a new tri-color badge exclusive to the 300C. Otherwise, the Chrysler 300 will remain mostly unchanged.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

In the large-car segment, the Chrysler 300 is unusual for its rear-wheel-drive layout and its available Hemi V-8 engines. All-wheel drive is optional but only with the standard 292-hp 3.6-liter V-6 engine. In our testing, a rear-wheel-drive V-6-powered 300S hustled to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds; that’s slow for this class but still reasonably sprightly.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The 300’s entry-level offering is the Touring. It comes with cloth seats and few amenities. The fancier Touring L and 300S models boast more features, including power-adjustable front seats with heat and adjustable lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather seats, and illuminated front and rear cupholders. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power-adjustable steering wheel are optional on all but the base model. The new 300C model offers further refinement courtesy of Black Laguna leather seats, a standard 19-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system, and interior carbon fiber accenting. Chrysler utilizes soft-touch rubberized plastic with a leather-grain pattern to cover the dashboard and upper door panels of every 300. The texture feels nice but looks artificial. The interior design is aging, and not gracefully. The 300, like just about every car in this segment, manages to fit six carry-on boxes in the trunk. With the rear seats folded, it swallowed another 10. Those seats can be split in a 60/40 arrangement, but they don’t fold completely flat.

Infotainment and Connectivity

We appreciate Chrysler’s Uconnect infotainment system for its ease of use, intuitive menu layout, and snappy performance. The 300’s standard 8.4-inch touchscreen display will also show the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces. SiriusXM satellite radio is also offered with a one-year trial period, and in-dash navigation is optional.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Chrysler’s driver-assistance gear, bundled in the SafetyTec Plus package, is available for all but the base model. For more information about the 300’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Available automated emergency braking
• Available adaptive cruise control
• Available lane-keeping assist
