Pros and Cons*
Pros
Luxurious interior, numerous standard features, ideal 50/50 front to rear weight distribution, precise steering and smooth ride are all good arguments in the 2013 Chrysler 300's favour.
Cons
Its excess weight, unsupportive seats and primitive all-wheel drive system disappoint.
Price
The base Touring model starts at $34,245.
The rear-wheel drive S starts at $38,245 and comes with optional all-wheel drive, which raises the price to $40,445.
For $39,245 buyers can get a V8-equipped 300C, which is also available with all-wheel drive at $41,445.
The 300C Luxury starts at $41,245, while the all-wheel drive version has a MSRP of $43,445.
Fuel Economy
The V6 rear-wheel drive/ 8-speed automatic transmission combination consumes 10.9 L/100 km city and 6.4 L/100 km highway. The addition of all-wheel drive brings the fuel consumption ratings into the 11.4 L/100 km city/7.3 L/100 km range.
V8 fuel consumption ratings are a reported 13.5 L/100 km city and 8 L/100 km highway, while the addition of all-wheel drive raise them to14.4 L/100 km and 8.5 L/100 km respectively.
Exterior Styling
This elegantly hunkered-down sedan, with its chrome grille, high beltline, and lowered roof is a definite head turner.
Drivetrain
The Pentastar V6 delivers 292 hp and 260 lb-ft torque, and the S model squeezes 8 more horses for a total of 300 hp from this same engine. The Pentastar V6 can be matched to either 5 or 8-speed automatic transmission. It comes in both two and all-wheel drive.
The available 363 hp 394 lb-ft torque V8 is mated to a 5-speed automatic which propels either the two rear wheels or all four.
Cargo Capacity
The 2013 Chrysler 300 offers 462 litres of trunk space.
