Chrysler 300
The Chrysler 300 is one of the last remaining full-size sedans in the mainstream class. However, unlike the Dodge Charger which offers many ultra-powerful models, this other FCA product is more conservative and luxury-focused, so it comes with less powerful 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engines. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, though all-wheel drive is optional on many trim levels.
