"The 2017 Chrysler 300's 5-passenger interior is comfortable and roomy" - KBB
2017 Chrysler 300 Seating and Comfort
The 2017 Chrysler 300's interiors see no change from last year's model. It's worth noting that Chrysler sells this as a luxury sedan, and the interiors match up to these claims. The interiors are roomy and very well-made. There is plush luxury on the inside in terms of quality, seating, and layout. No negatives about the fit and finish levels as well: it's been executed perfectly with utmost attention to detail. The dash is covered in high-quality soft-touch rubber-type material that feels great to touch, but this material tends to attract dust. Also, the lower trims get a few hard plastic bits that are an eye-sore in an otherwise great interior.
The seats in the 300 offer excellent support and are large and wide. The front seats are a pleasure on long drives and have a good amount of legroom with some adjustability as well. In the rear, the seats have great cushioning and offer excellent lateral support, with 40-inches+ legroom that is commendable. The cabin is well-isolated from outside noises and is very quiet. The seats sport stitching accents that look elegant. In terms of visibility, the rear visibility is blocked due to the thick rear pillars. Ingress and egress functionality is easy as well.

All the cars seat five people. The Chrysler boasts of very wide front and rear seats but lacks in the front headroom and legroom. The Kia Cadenza offers a tremendously long 45.5-inches front legroom that is the most among these cars. It also has the most headroom. In the rear, however, the Chrysler offers the most legroom at 40.1 inches and shares the top spot for the rear headroom with the Cadenza. The long-wheelbase helps the Chrysler deliver a balanced interior space in the front and rear row while not compromising on cargo space. The Nissan Maxima and the Buick offer great front space but are low in the rear space against the 300. The main reason for this legroom on the 300 is due to its long wheelbase.
Some interior features are:
- Heated and ventilated power front seats
- Heated rear seats
- Keyless entry and ignition
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Power rear window sunshade
- Leather upholstery
2017 Chrysler 300 Infotainment system

The 8.4-inches touchscreen with Uconnect functionality has a straightforward interface with menu accessibility a piece of cake. The touch responses are quick, with nearly no lag at all. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard on the 300. Other standard features across all trims include two USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, HD radio, satellite radio, and a 6-speaker sound system.
Other features available on higher trims include:
- A navigation system

2017 Chrysler 300 Cargo volume
The 2017 Chrysler 300 comes with a standard cargo volume of 16.3 cu-ft, which is decent space offered for this class of cars. This is enough space for a quick family getaway, but won't be much useful for longer journeys with a family.
