Chrysler 300:Review the specs, features and pros & cons

Chrysler 300 Safety

All models of the 300 since its release in 2005 have sported a long list of safety features. Examples include front-impact airbags and a device to disable the ignition should anyone without the manufacturer’s key attempt to start the car. You’ll find anti-lock brakes—which help prevent skidding in the event of a forced stop—stability control and overhead airbags in models from 2010 and up. If you opt for the 2019 edition, you can expect high-tech safety add-ons like:

• Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, which reduces the risk of a crash
• Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist to alert you when you’re about to drift out of your lane
• Blind Spot Monitoring so you stay fully aware of your surroundings
• Rear Cross Path Detection for when visibility is low in tight spaces
• Front and Rear Park Assist to help you in and out of tricky parking spots

Chrysler 300 Interior

Nothing says luxury like the Chrysler 300’s leather interior, available in higher trims right from the first production year and standard in the second generation. Models from 2008 onwards have surround-sound speakers and rear-seat entertainment systems, while the simple, intuitive dashboard and controls give you a relaxed driving experience. You get heated and ventilated front seats in all models from 2013 and up. The leather-wrapped steering wheel adds that extra dash of functionality, with sleek inset buttons for easy use.

Chrysler 300 Technology

The 300 has been kitted out with tech from the beginning, with a user-friendly screen interface available on higher trims. USB ports allow on-the-go charging so you’re never without your personal devices. Almost all models can be equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, on-board navigation and auxiliary ports. If you opt for a model post 2014, you can control Android and Apple systems through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The Uconnect 4C® system grants top-of-the-line navigation functionality, as well as voice commands and audio streaming so you’re connected wherever you go.

Chrysler 300 Space

The spacious, five-seater cabin provides plenty of leg and headroom for both driver and passengers. Trunk space is comparatively limited, particularly in older models, making the 300 less suitable for long trips that require a lot of luggage.

Chrysler 300 Comfort

The large cabin is quiet on the road, and the high-end suspension coupled with eight-speed automatic transmission makes for a smooth ride. However, bulky pillars in the design and small rear windows can make rear visibility a little tricky.
