The Chrysler 300 has been totally redesigned for 2011, featuring bold styling that manages to look fresh and still stay true to the essence that made this car famous. The rear-wheel drive premium full-size sedan is a cousin to the more powerful and expensive 300C. Available in base and Limited trims, the 300 uses Chrysler's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 making 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency is above average in this segment at 18 city/27 highway mpg.
Standard features include a 6-speaker sound system with satellite radio and iPod interface, Uconnect touchscreen infotainment interface, anti-lock disc brakes, traction and stability control and 17-inch wheels. Upgrading to the Limited adds 18-inch wheels, foglamps and chrome trim for the exterior, a rearview camera, heated front seats and Bluetooth. An integrated Garmin navigation system is optional. Base pricing starts at around $27,000.
