2022 Chrysler 300

The Touring L trim in RWD configuration is the preferable one to choose from the lineup. The standard independent comfort suspensions dampen the undulations and maintain the wheel contact patch while the heated front seats vouch for convenient seating altogether. The Automatic High-Beam Headlamp-Control and Advanced Brake-Assist are other add-ons that enhance this trim's value proposition.

"The base Chrysler 300 is fairly frugal, but with power comes thirst." - The Car Connection

The 2022 Chrysler 300 offers an overall fuel economy of 23 MPG. It covers a maximum range of up to 555 miles in single fueling with its 18.5-gallon fuel tank. The V8 engine, meanwhile, returns only 19 MPG mileage on average.

As per data, the Chrysler 300 has a 4-gallon bigger fuel tank that helps it to have 48 miles extra range over Avalon despite being 3 MPG less efficient. But the Nissan Maxima takes the lead by 7 miles against 300, thanks to its 1MPG better economy. 

"The Chrysler's cabin is comfortable and spacious, but those seeking the luxury of a similarly sized luxury car will be left wanting." - Car And Driver

Get in the 2022 Chrysler 300 and the 4 opulent interior accents will amaze one's desire. The shades of the Black/Linen, Red, and Black/Smoke contrasts the premium interior. Along with that, the Heated Front Leather-Trimmed Bucket Seats have been bestowed with both touch and comfort in the Touring L trim. These seats are replaced by Sport Seats in the S configuration with the availability of an added ventilation function on offer as well.  

The Touring trim of the Chrysler 300 does lack a bit of exotic arrangement as it gets no more than cloth-trimmed 8-way power-adjustable driver's seats. While, the heated steering wheel and heated second row seating, as an option, tend to make to feature list from Touring L trim onwards. Regarding its cargo capacity, the volume is estimated to be 16.3 cu-ft that seems pretty generous.

According to the comparison, the 300 has 2 cu-ft better cargo capacity than Maxima but falls short by 0.2 cu-ft against the Charger. It even has an edge in shoulder room in 1st row over the Avalon by 2 inches. This gap further extends to 6 inches when the 2nd row legroom of the 300 is matched against the Charger. Apart from this, there is an Infotainment unit of Uconnect 4C with 8.4-Inch Display and 6-speaker audio as standards. 

The Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-Inch Display is integrated into the cabin as option in Touring L and S with V-6. However, it becomes standard for the S trim with the V-8 variant. The same is true for the 9 Premium Alpine speakers too whereas the 6 Premium Alpine Speakers standard for the S configuration with V-6 powertrain. There are some notable features that have been listed down:   

• Uconnect 4C with 8.4-Inch Display
• 6-speaker audio
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
• Panoramic Sunroof
• Heated Front Leather-Trimmed Bucket Seats

"Slightly intimidating, slightly upmarket, the Chrysler 300 has an exterior design that has already stood the test of time." - Kelley Blue Book

The 2022 Chrysler 300 has been designed to be adorned with 9-exterior colors including the Canyon Sunset, Velvet Red, and many more.

In addition to all these, one can even opt for the Sport Appearance Package at $1,500 with which Black Headlamp Bezels and Black Noise Aluminum Wheels are added to enhance the design philosophy.

The Chrysler brings its 300 that has a 7-inch longer wheelbase and is 500 lbs heavier Avalon that altogether hampers the overall dynamics. Even the Nissan Maxima has almost 450 lbs less weight and has an 11-inch smaller wheelbase than the 300. This helps the former during hard braking after speeding up.

• Immediately recognizable design
