How much does a Chrysler 300 weight

The 2023 Chrysler 300 is merely an OK option if you're shopping for a new car. The 300 has a spacious interior with cushy seats, an intuitive infotainment system and a sizable trunk. It's quiet and comfortable to drive for the most part, and it's offered with a range of potent V6 and V8 engines. The V6 even returns decent fuel economy for a large car. That said, the 300 hasn't changed much in the past decade, and it feels very outdated by modern standards, from its tired styling and so-so cabin materials to its dearth of standard safety features.

Should I Buy the 2023 Chrysler 300?

We suggest skipping the Chrysler 300 if you're shopping for a family-friendly sedan. There are simply better and more modern alternatives, from midsize cars like the Honda Accord and Kia K5 to full-size cars like the all-new Toyota Crown.

2022 vs. 2023 Chrysler 300: What's the Difference?

Chrysler plans to discontinue the 300 after the 2023 model year, and the automaker is sending off the sedan with a bang. The performance-oriented 300C trim returns for 2023, and it features a 6.4-liter V8 engine that was previously reserved for high-end versions of the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Production of the 300C is limited to just 2,200 models for the U.S. and Canada.

Here are the key changes for the Chrysler 300 over the last few model years:

  • 2023: 300C trim returns with 6.4-liter V8 engine; final model year of production
  • 2022: no notable changes
  • 2021: 300 Limited and 300C trims discontinued
  • 2020: Red S Appearance package with Black Noise exterior badging, a Red insert on the Chrysler Wing badge, a Red ''S'' badge, 20-inch Black Noise wheels and an optional Radar Red interior made available
  • 2019: no notable changes
  • 2018: Touring and Touring L trims introduced; 300C Platinum trim discontinued; some features shuffled between trims

2023 Chrysler 300 Versus the Competition

Chrysler 300 vs. Dodge Charger

The Dodge Charger is the corporate cousin of the 300, and these relatives have a lot in common, from their overall dimensions and driving dynamics to their available features and – unfortunately – lackluster cabin materials. Both even share many of the same engines. The big difference, apart from styling, is that the Charger is available with the supercharged Hellcat engine, which boasts more than 700 horsepower.

Chrysler 300 vs. Nissan Maxima

Like the 300, the Nissan Maxima is one of the few remaining nonluxury large cars on the market. The Maxima has nicer cabin materials than its 300 rival, as well as fresher styling and considerably more standard safety features. On the other hand, the Maxima's rear seats are relatively snug for such a large sedan, the trunk is fairly small, and it lacks the engine options to compete with the Chrysler's burly V8s. Ultimately, neither of these sedans are standout picks.

300 Interior: It's 2010 All Over Again

2023 300 Interior Quality

The 2023 Chrysler 300 hasn't been redesigned in more than a decade, and its advanced age becomes obvious once you hop inside. The overall appearance is outdated and stale – from the analog clock in the center of the dashboard to the faux wood accents – and the interior is trimmed with just as many hard plastics as soft-touch materials. It's overdue for an update (if it weren’t discontinued). On the plus side, most of the interior surfaces feel sturdy and well put-together, and the cabin does a nice job of muffling wind and road noise, resulting in a rather quiet and relaxing ride.

2023 300 Infotainment, Bluetooth and Navigation

One of the perks of the 300's aged design is its straightforward infotainment system. All models are equipped with an 8.4-inch touch screen that runs Chrysler's Uconnect software. The menus are simple, icons are large and easy to read, and responses are prompt. The touch screen is also accompanied by buttons and knobs for the basic audio and climate controls, which make it easy to adjust these functions on the go.

  • Standard infotainment features: an 8.4-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD Radio, satellite radio, a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth and two USB ports
  • Available infotainment features: navigation, a nine-speaker stereo and a 19-speaker stereo
  • Additional standard features: proximity keyless entry, push-button start and dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Other available features: remote start and a panoramic sunroof

2023 300 Cargo Space

The 300 has 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space, which is about average for a large car. There's enough room to stow a couple of carry-on bags, a set of golf clubs or a large load of groceries. The rear seats can also fold down in a 60/40 split, which makes it easier to fit long items.

How Many People Does the 2023 300 Seat?

The 300 is a four-door sedan with five seats. Cloth upholstery and a power-adjustable driver's seat are standard. Leather upholstery, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel are available.

The front seats are soft and comfortable, though somewhat unsupportive, and there's a generous amount of headroom and legroom for taller occupants to stretch out. Outward visibility is good to the front and sides of the sedan, but the rear sightlines are fairly slim due to the thick roof pillars. The outboard rear seats can comfortably accommodate two adults, but as is often the case, the middle seat is lacking in legroom. It's best reserved for smaller individuals.

2023 300 and Child Car Seats

There are three complete sets of LATCH connectors for the 300’s rear seats. The lower anchors are set too deeply in the seats and could be difficult to maneuver around, but otherwise, this LATCH system is generally easy to use.

300 Performance: Old-School Cruiser

2023 300 Engine

The 2023 Chrysler 300 has three engine options: a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, a 363-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 and a 485-horsepower 6.4-liter V8. An eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel drive is optional only with the V6.

Models with the V6 might not win any drag races, but this engine is more than powerful enough for everyday driving. It zips the sedan up to speed briskly and enables swift passing maneuvers on the highway, thanks in part to the quick-yet-smooth shifts of the eight-speed transmission. The jaunt from zero to 60 mph takes about 6.5 seconds. On the downside, this V6 (Pentastar in Chrysler speak) has to rev hard to make the most of its power, and it can sound like it's straining at times.

The Hemi V8s remedy that issue, albeit at the expense of low fuel economy. These engines emit muted roars and burbles from the exhaust pipes when coaxed, and they hustle the car along with authoritative thrust. The 6.4-liter V8, which is exclusive to the 300C, can slingshot the car from zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, according to Chrysler.

2023 300 Gas Mileage

The 2023 Chrysler 300 gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway when paired with its V6 engine (18/27 mpg with AWD), which is average fuel economy for the large car class. Models with the 5.7-liter V8 get a lowlier 16/25 mpg city/highway, while models with the 6.4-liter V8 get an EPA-estimated 15/24 mpg city/highway. 

2023 300 Ride and Handling

The 300's driving dynamics aren't likely to impress or offend. The big sedan feels stable when winding through turns, and body lean and sway are kept to moderate levels. The steering is quick, albeit lightly weighted, which can make the car feel listless at times, but the brakes provide reassuring stopping power. Ride comfort is largely dependent on the wheels and tires. 

The base Touring model comes shod with 17-inch wheels (19-inch wheels are optional), and it glides comfortably over rough pavement with only an occasional shudder or jolt. The available 20-inch wheels – found on all upper trims – are wrapped in low-profile tires, and they tend to transmit more shimmies and shakes through the cabin.

The 2023 Chrysler 300 sedan comes in four trims: Touring, Touring L, 300S and 300C. Each trim adds a few more features than the last, with the limited-run 300C model inching toward fully loaded status. The other main difference between trims is under the hood.

Aside from the $55,000 starting price for the 300C, Chrysler has not confirmed pricing information for the 300’s other trims at the time of writing.

Pricing is expected to start at around $42,200 for V6 models and $45,400 for V8 models. Most options carry over unchanged.

Additional features include ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 19-speaker stereo, carbon-fiber interior accents, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection and forward automatic emergency braking.
