Several Trim Options
Depending on your budget, tastes, and needs, you can choose from five trim levels for the 2018 Chrysler 300. These models include the Touring, Touring L, 300S, Limited, and 300C. Even at the entry level, the 300 doesn’t skimp on luxury, yet it adds even more opulent features at each tier. Whether you want the 300 on a budget or the fully loaded variant, you’re sure to find the ideal model.

Power and Handling
Under the hood, the 2018 Chrysler 300 comes with two engine options, although neither choice will leave anything to be desired. The stock engine is a 292-horsepower, 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission with rotary E-Shift. Using the E-Shift, you can change gears just by turning the dial, allowing for maximum control on the roads.
Upper trim levels of the Chrysler 300 get an upgrade that’s sure to quell your hunger for speed. Here you’ll find a class-leading 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 that packs a punch. With 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque, the 300 can flat-out fly, going from 0-60 in just 5.3 seconds and hitting a quarter-mile in only 13.8 seconds. That’s the type of power you rarely see in the full-size sedan segment.
