Once again at the top of its game
The revamped 300 has standard electronic stability control with Ready Alert Braking and Rain Brake Support (perfect for Vancouver!), as well as active head restraints, full-length side-curtain airbags, blind-spot monitoring (BSM), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), ParkSense front and rear park assist system and more. This sedan has more than 70 advanced safety and security features.

Uconnect is available on all trim levels of the new 300. This state-of-the-art infotainment centre has a large 8.4-inch touchscreen for easy viewing and usability. Navigation is not standard, but available as a standalone option for an extra $450.

Even the pricing of this new car got a makeover. The base 300 Touring has an MSRP of just under $33,000 with $3,600 of added value over the 2010 model, while the top-of-the-line 300C RWD will start at just under $40,000 and contains about $9,500 of added value.

Compare these prices to the Honda Accord, the Ford Taurus and the Nissan Altima, and the 300 Limited is worth taking for a test drive.

Chrysler has really upped their game on this all-new 300 sedan, keeping everything that was good and improving greatly on everything that wasn’t.
