What to Expect out Of the 2022 Chrysler 300

The Chrysler 300 is returning for another amazing year. The 2022 model is set to be the most exciting, most powerful, and most demanded version of this four-door sedan to date. Just like a fine wine, this Chrysler car only gets better with age. From the first time this nameplate hit the scene in 2005 until today, no other vehicle has been able to capture the imagination and heart of American drivers like the Chrysler 300.

Here’s what to expect from the newest version of this popular sedan:

Unexpected Performance

Drivers aren’t used to seeing everyday commuters pack as much punch as you get with the 300. This sedan has a rear-wheel-drive layout and can be equipped with an impressive 363-horsepower Hemi V8 engine.

The standard V6 engine is no laughing matter. It can blast off from zero to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds and produces 292 horsepower. Of course, the V* only needs 5.3 seconds to achieve the same feat.

If you go with the Touring or Touring L models, you can step up your 300 with a class-exclusive all-wheel-drive system. This new system can transition between RWD and AWD as needed, which helps improve fuel economy.

The most unexpected capability of the Chrysler 300 involves towing. While most sedans are pretty helpless when it comes to towing, the 300 can handle up to 1,000 pounds with either powertrain option.

Award-Winning Connectivity

The Chrysler 300 is going to stick with the award-winning Uconnect 4C software that comes standard with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Drivers love the 8.4-inch touchscreen that provides crisp imagery and intuitive controls.

Updated technology doesn’t end with information and entertainment features. The Chrysler 300 is also equipped with some seriously advanced safety features. Drivers can enjoy a whole slew of driver-assist features on this new model:

• Full-speed forward collision warning-plus
• Adaptive cruise control with full stop
• Blind spot monitoring
• Rear cross oath detection
• Lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist
• ParkSense front and rear park assist

The new Sport Appearance Package

The Chrysler 300 already has a tough-looking and inspired look, but the new Sport Appearance Package takes the Touring L to a completely new level. It starts with 20-inch Black Noise Aluminum Wheels and BSW all-season performance tires.

Expect to get stares when people notice the body-color performance front fascia and fascia applique and updated Black Noise 300 badge, wing badges, and inserts. The sleek black coloring continues with attractive headlamp bezels, tail lamps, DLO surround molding, and a 300s grille surround. Throw in some premium SRT fog lamps and lower grille close-out panels, and you’ll see why this new package is worth every penny of this $995 option.

More From the Top Trim

Drivers who want the best 300 available today, the 300S trim delivers with some new features and upgrade packages. Now shoppers can go completely premium with the following options:

• A dual-pane panoramic sunroof
• Surround sound over nine-premium Alpine speakers
• A 506 watt amplifier and trunk-mounted subwoofer
• Heated second-row seats
• Power blacklight sunshade
• Ventilated leather-trim sport seats
• Deluxe security alarm
• And so much more
