2021 Chrysler 300

Pros: Hushed cabin; bold looks and unique trim packages; smooth 8-speed transmission

Cons: Despite being astutely updated over the years, basic design feels a bit long in the tooth; rear-seat room a bit cramped for the class

CG Says: The 2021 Chrysler 300 drops its topline Limited  and 300C models. All models, except the base Touring, now have standard front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot alert, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Red S Appearance Package is now standard on 300S models. Chrysler 300 is a large rear-wheel-drive sedan. A 292-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 is the base engine. Also available is a “Hemi” 363-hp 5.7-liter V8. Both engines mate to an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available with 3.6-liter V6 engine. Available features include adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning and mitigation, lane-departure warning and mitigation, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot alert, and heated/ventilated front seats. The Chrysler 300 exudes American style; it pairs distinctive exterior styling with a satisfyingly upscale cabin. Both the V6 and V8 engines deliver smooth performance with surprisingly good fuel economy. Rear-seat room is a sore spot, and we have a few niggling issues with the climate/audio control interface. Still, the 300 is a classy large sedan that delivers a refined driving experience.
