Chrysler 300

Fuel consumption 7.7 – 12.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 77%(view ratings)
A refreshed 300 is expected early in 2015. This classic rear-drive American sedan is also available with all-wheel drive. Under the big hood lies a choice of engines, including a 3.6L V6 (292 and 300 horsepower for the Touring and S trims), a 5.7L Hemi V8 (363 horsepower in the C and Luxury trims) or a 6.4L Hemi V8 (470 horsepower in the SRT). All V6 versions have an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, but for now the robust five-speed autobox is bolted to the Hemis.
