2016 Chrysler 300 review

1. Choice of V6 or V8 power 

All trims of the 2016 Chrysler 300 have a standard 3.6L V6 engine that produces 292 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque (300 hp and 264 lb-ft on the 300S). With this engine and standard rear-wheel drive, the Chrysler 300 gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined (19 city/30 highway)—respectable fuel economy for a large sedan.

If you’re craving muscle car-like acceleration, look for a model with the available 5.7L V8 engine to get 363 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque (available on all trims except the base 300 Limited). With either engine option, the Chrysler 300 has the power and performance you seek. 

2. Smooth and quiet ride 

With either the V6 or V8 engine, the 2016 Chrysler 300 boasts a luxuriously smooth and quiet ride. For the 2016 model year, the base 300 Limited trim gets a standard touring-tuned suspension for improved handling, and the 300S adds an available performance-tuned suspension with upgraded components. Whichever Chrysler 300 you choose, you and your passengers will enjoy a supple ride as you seamlessly glide over bumps, ruts, and other imperfections in the road. 

3. Appealing tech 

If you’re looking for a premium sedan with plenty of tech features, the 2016 Chrysler 300 is a great choice. You’ll get a standard 8.4-inch Uconnect^® touchscreen on all trims, featuring a logical menu, large buttons, and crisp graphics. New features for the 2016 model year include a drag-and-drop menu bar, do-not-disturb features, and Siri^® Eyes Free functionality. You’ll also get Bluetooth^® capability, SiriusXM^® Radio, and an available Wi-Fi hotspot, along with a choice of available premium sound systems from Alpine^®, BeatsAudio^®, and Harman Kardon^®.

4. Upscale cabin 

The 2016 Chrysler 300 is generously equipped with high-end furnishings, soft-touch materials, and rich finishes. You’ll love the 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, with four-way power lumbar adjustment for the utmost comfort. Heated seats are standard in the front and available in the rear, with attractive leather upholstery for everyone. You’ll appreciate the premium look and feel of the signature three-spoke steering wheel with available die-cast paddle shifters, as well as the unique rotary transmission shift knob. If you’re looking for a taste of luxury, you’ll find it in the Chrysler 300. 

5. Available 90th Anniversary Edition
