The 2017 Chrysler 300 has a starting MSRP of $33,435 and features all the
creature comforts you want with the reliability and safety you need in a
vehicle. Here are just five reasons you'll love it!

Power

The Chrysler 300 gives you the ability to customize it to your liking. You
can choose from five trim levels: the Limited, 300S, 300S Alloy Edition, 300C,
and 300C Platinum. All are available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive
powertrains and come standard with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. A 5.7-liter
HEMI V8 engine is optional on all trims aside from the Limited base model.

Performance

The V6 engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that produces
19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. It gets up to 300 horsepower and
264 pound-feet of torque. The V8 engine gets a respectable 16 mpg in the city
and 25 mpg on the highway, with 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque.

Drivers will appreciate the front and rear disc brakes, towing with trailer
sway control, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, comfort ride suspension, and
electric power steering for smooth handling and a pleasant ride.

Exterior Amenities

Standard exterior features include chrome side window trim, a stainless
steel exhaust, black grille with chrome accents, projector beam halogen
headlights, LED brake lights, and a body-colored front and rear bumper. Other
notable amenities include power heated side mirrors, a rear window defroster,
and speed-sensitive variable intermittent wipers for those bouts of
unpredictable weather.  

The Limited trim features 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, the 300S
features 20-inch aluminum wheels, and the highest trim level, the 300C
Platinum, rounds out the list with 19-inch aluminum wheels. Additionally,
you'll get to choose from seven exterior color options, including Gloss Black,
Jazz Blue Pearl, and Velvet Red Pearl.

Interior Comforts

The 2017 Chrysler 300 offers up plenty of interior
amenities to please the whole family. Front passengers can enjoy the four-way

passenger seat with cushion tilt, driver foot rest, and illuminated cup holder.
Rear passengers will feel comfy with the heated seats, center armrest, seatback
storage pockets, and 60/40 folding rear seat for extra storage space.

Other notable features include cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate
control, and the Sentry Key Immobilizer system. You'll also get the stylish
amenities you'd expect from a luxury vehicle, including chrome and metal-look
interior accents, a leather gear shift knob, and leather-trimmed bucket seats.
Entertainment options range from SiriusXM satellite radio and the Uconnect
media system to wireless streaming and Bluetooth connectivity.

Safety Features

With the Chrysler 300, you can feel at ease knowing you and your loved ones
are safe. Standard features include dual-stage driver and passenger
seat-mounted side airbags, a driver knee airbag, curtain first- and second-row
airbags, side impact beams, traction control, and electronic stability control.
