The Chrysler 300 tempts full-size sedan shoppers with extroverted styling and available luxury that is rare in its class. The Chrysler 300 starts out with the brand’s Pentastar 3.6-litre V6 under the hood - good for 292 horses - but an upgrade is available in the form of a 5.7-litre Hemi V8 that generates 363 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices include five and eight-speed automatics, and the 300 is unique amongst competitors with its choice between rear-wheel and all-wheel drive models.
