Performance
Engine Type
The base engine for the present 300 is the critically acclaimed Pentastar 3.6-liter V6. On the Touring and Touring L models, it rides on 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It also makes 300 horses and 264 lb-ft of torque on the 300S; The excellent amount of torque is the source of the great effectiveness of merging and passing. This capable engine is also used on a wide range of other FCA vehicles for its power and dependability.
Up next, we have the big and bad 5.7-liter Hemi V8 making headway with 363 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque, serving as an option in the 300 S. This animal partners up with a rear-wheel-drive system, however, it does not have an available all-wheel-drive, since that is only meant for the Touring and Touring L trims. The V8 merits off an 8-speed automatic, and even allows thrill-seekers to make use of the manual shift. While both engines work fine using regular unleaded fuel, itās advised to use Premium for the V8.
Driving and Handling
Chrylser 300 drivers already have plenty of power with the standard V6 engine, itās not only powerful but very comfortable. Buyers will be memorized by the combination of the carās top-notch performance and moderate price, as well as the fun-filled new optional features on the Touring L. As previously mentioned, all-wheel-drive is a plus that is unique to the Touring and Touring L trims.
The optional V8 then zooms off with its adrenaline-charged acceleration. The 8-speed automatic is smooth and handles quite nicely, bettering even more with the Sport mode.
