Overall Rating
Chrysler 300 is a classic and downright attractive sedan, offering utility and style coupled with relevant and modern features. The sedan offers engine options in a naturally aspirated V-6 or a punchy V-8. The sedan offers a well tested and classic driving feel, which is highly responsive and still relevant.
The new trim offered by Chrysler for this year is a base 300 Touring that costs $28,995. The variant is powered by a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine that delivers 292-hp and 260-pound-feet of peak torque. All the trim comes with the standard Rear-wheel drive (RWD), while the optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) is offered at an added premium of $2,500, which is available for each trim except the V-8 powered 300C.
There is a slight reshuffling in the trim levels of the 2018 Chrysler 300. The trim level range includes Touring, Touring L, 300S, 300 Limited, and 300C. Touring is the new base variant, while the 300S is the performance trim, and the RWD 300C with a HEMI V-8 stands at the top of the lineup. The Chrysler 300 stands up to other full-size family sedans in the market like the 2018 Chevrolet Impala and the Dodge Charger.
The Touring L trim comes with the leather seat option and has a plethora of features and tech, while still keeping stoic pricing, to make it the best choice. The Limited trim adds luxuries and other interior accents, while the 20-inch wheel rims take away from the comfortable ride quality and are only recommended if you are looking for performance. The 300S and the 300C trims are for those that wish to get some sportscar character in their family sedan, with the V-8 on the 300C with its RWD offering the best drivability of the lineup

The Touring L comes with the leather seat option and has a plethora of features and tech, while still keeping stoic pricing, to make it the best choice. The Limited trim adds luxuries and other interior accents, while the 20-inch wheel rims take away from the comfortable ride quality and are only recommended if you are looking for performance. The 300S and the 300C trims are for those that wish to get some sportscar character in their family sedan, with the V-8 on the 300C with its RWD offering the best drivability of the lineup.
The engine option that comes standard on the lower trims of the 2018 Chrysler 300 is a powerful Pentastar V-6, that generates 292 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque. This is great for a daily driver or even to drive around the country. The luxury trims come with a hefty bit of ride comfort, though they don’t do much in terms of performance. The 300S comes with a sport-tuned suspension that is better mated to the frame and offers a more responsive and ground-hugging driving feel. There is a super well-tuned 8-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel-drive offered on each trims at an added premium.
The Chrysler 300 begins going bonkers in the 300C, which is only offered in an RWD. The engine like most others from Dodge is built to offer straight-line speed and a classic, attractive exhaust note. The power delivery is not quite like the Charger, which is more attuned to spring forth to action. The 300 holds its gears for a composed and highly attractive cruising. There are a sport mode and paddle shifter available in the 300S and the 300C, which makes them a bit punchier to drive.

The Chrysler 300 shares a similar 3.6-liter V6 to the 2018 Dodge Charger SXT, all because of the parent company badging. While the Chevy Impala offers a 3.6-liter VVT DI engine that churns out 305-hp and 264 lb-feet of peak torque. The Chevy lacks the refinement which is present in the other two models, due to its older 6-speed automatic, although it has much better cruising character along highways.
The V8 undoubtedly offers quicker acceleration in comparison to the V6. The Chrysler 300 Touring takes 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds, which is slightly lower than the rivals. On the other hand, the V8 churns out power in a focused and smooth manner as compared to its Dodge counterpart. The V-8 takes 5.8 seconds to the 0-60 mph mark from a standstill. The 8-speed automatic gearbox is tuned to offer great torque and response feel throughout the acceleration.
On the Chrysler 300S and 300C sedans, the gearbox comes with paddle shift controls and a sport mode that enables responsive shifts. The 300C is only offered in RWD, while all the V-6 powered 300 sedans can be fitted with the optional all-wheel drive with an axle-disconnect feature. The AWD variants are slower to get going, though they still offer unparalleled composure.

The 2018 Dodge Charger shows its pedigree and feral character with a faster burst for the 0-60 mph acceleration. Yet either car with the Pentastar motor is not quite happy to lurch forward, though the engine offers a refined and linear response. The Chevrolet Impala is the quickest off the mark, with the gear withholding 6-speed gearbox showing most of its character on the straight line.
Braking is a front where the aging and heavy platform on the Chrysler 300 peaks through. The sedan is rather well designed, and the large 12.6-inch rotors on either axle do a great job of arresting the heavy sedan. Still, the brakes feel a bit hefty and have a larger draw as compared to most other sedans. Nevertheless, they are highly reliable on the roads.

The Dodge Charger has similarly designed brakes, although it weighs a hefty bit lighter than the 300, which helps it come to a stop in a quicker 110 feet. The Chevrolet Impala is also reliable with its brakes, which get it to stop at 118 feet. The 300 seems the slowest to come to a stop, where it takes 120 feet.
The 300 shows its Mercedes-Benz heritage in its handling and riding comfort. The car itself is prone to a hefty bit of body roll around faster corners and the steering tends to be a bit on the vaguer side at higher speeds. Even then the car does remain composed on straight roads. The smaller 18-inch alloy rims on the lower variants offer much better ride comfort, especially on the rear wheels. The gearbox is highly reliable and has a smooth sequential feel to it, which is great for cruising.
The 300S and 300C offer larger wheels with a sport-tuned suspension, which tunes up the V-6 in case of the former and the V-8 in the latter. The drive becomes much more composed around turns and has better handling. The Sport mode which is available on either offers a free airflow and an exhaust for the perfect complement to the engine.
You cannot expect much from the car in terms of efficiency or range, as the frame is rather heavy and either engine is a fuel guzzler. The 300's V-6 returns decent fuel economy The base engine gets 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. The performance version V8's mileage ratings are worse as it returns 16/25 mpg city/highway. The V8 also requires midgrade gasoline.

All the cars in the competition offer similar efficiency, and the same is with their comparable fuel tanks and range. The Chrysler 300 can easily go up to 425 miles on a full tank of gas. The Chevrolet Impala Premier has a tiny bit lower efficiency and also a lower range of just around 407 miles.
This time, the interior of Chrysler 300 has added premium luxury features right from the base 300 models. The standard fitments include power front seats with heat and adjustable lumbar support, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and illuminated front and rear cupholders. The rear seats are well positioned to allow 3 passengers to easily fit abreast. While the legroom both at the front and the rear is good for all sizes of passengers.
When you upgrade to top-spec 300C or 300C Platinum, then the luxury quotient gets even higher. The standard accessories offered with the base models are unique. To add more luxury, the dashboard and upper door panels are covered by a soft-touch rubberized plastic with a leather-grain pattern. The cabin offers space everywhere, and even several cup holders decked out all over. The dashboard even features real open-pore wood in the 300C.

Both the rows on all the competitors are capably made to American standards and thus feature great space. The Chevrolet Impala interior lacks a bit in terms of rear row legroom, but that will barely be felt. The Dodge Charger interior has the same dimensions as the Chrysler 300 in the seating configuration. Chrysler shows its edge by offering the best cargo colume in the segment of 106.3 cu-ft. Here is a list of the interior features that are available with the 2018 Chrysler 300:
We appreciate Chrysler 300's Uconnect infotainment system for its usability and ease of access. The 300's infotainment features a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen display that comes integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is Bluetooth compatibility and audio streaming present in the sedan. SiriusXM satellite radio has also been offered as standard, but under the one-year trial deal. The navigation is optional on the 300S and standard on the 300C.
The basic Touring trim is offered with a six-speaker audio 276-watt system, while the 300S trim comes with a 10-speaker Beats system. Also, the 300C gets an optional 19-speaker Premium 900 watt audio Harman/Kardon stereo. The 6-speaker audio seems a little too inadequate for the large interiors, while the 10-speaker system fitsperfectly. Some standout features in infotainment are:
The cabin of the Chrysler 300 is decked out with a wide arrangement of cupholders and even cubbies and storage space throughout. The door pockets are however narrow, but the center console and glove box offer better storage space. In the rear, you get 16.3 feet cube of cargo space, which is very similar to the Dodge Charger SXT.

The Chevrolet Impala offers better storage space as compared to both the Dodge Charger as well as the Chrysler 300. This is due to the long tail and box-like design it has. Still all the sedans have enough space for a small family outing.
The exterior design of Chrysler 300 has barely changed since 2005. Although it still cuts a crisp and stylish profile, which looks highly relevant even today. The shape of the full-size sedan is well proportioned and the rounded corners make it classy. The lower trims have smaller 17-inch alloys, though there are 18-inch ones available. On the sport trims, you get the massive and menacing 20-inch wheels.
The sedan’s profile is muscular and square-shouldered but still muted in a sleek way. The front headlamps are Xenon ringed with modernizing DRLs, though these are the parts that show a bit of age. The tail lamps are full-LED units that almost seem ageless. Overall it’s a well-styled and highly attractive sedan.

The Chrysler 300 is by far the heaviest of the lot, although it has analogous dimensions to its sibling from Dodge Charger. Where the Charger looks more sedated and friendly, the 300 is perfectly future-proof and has an attractive look. The Chevrolet Impala has the highest ground clearance and overall length, while it marginally has the least width. Here is a list of the exterior features that are available with the 2018 Chrysler 300:
Older chassis generally don't fare well in crash tests. The Chrysler 300 gets a 4-star rating on the NHTSA tests. Even though the car is all American-made, it has the pedigree for Mercedes-Benz in its styling and frame, which makes it highly reliable and ageless in terms of lasting quality. The IIHS also similarly rates the sedan to have generally ‘Good’ ratings. Some standout safety features offered in the sedan are:
The 2018 Chevy Impala offers some of the Chrysler 300's luxury along with practicality. The Impala has got plenty of standard features that anybody would love to have. The built-in Wi-Fi hotspot keeps your wireless devices connected to the internet. The Impala has received better safety ratings than the Chrysler 300. You may find more luggage room in Impala comparatively making it a better choice of the two
The Dodge Charger shares almost everything from the platform to the engine with the Chrysler 300. Though it is distinctly different in its styling. Where the Charger appears to be a well-proportioned sedan, the Chrysler has better looks and stylish appeal. Overall the Charger has a tad bit better performance, though the 300 has better cruising character
The 2018 Chrysler 300 offers great practicality with interior comfort. There is an array of safety features as standard that protects us in every situation. We may find other rivals giving tough competition, but in the styling, the 300 remains distinguished. You get two engine options, with one standard V6 and the other V8 for performance. Either engine offers a great deal, and the interiors exude style and comfort. Overall this is a must-buy in the segment.
