CHRYSLER 300
Engines
5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with Multi-Displacement System (MDS),
340 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, and 390 lb-ft of torque, standard
on 300C—the most horsepower and torque in its class.** The
MDS system allows the engine to operate on four cylinders when
power demands are minimal, increasing fuel efficiency by up to
20 percent. This provides the power of a V8 with the economy of
a large V6. (EPA estimated mpg: 17 city/ 25 highway)
3.5-liter high-output V6 single overhead camshaft (SOHC) engine
with 250 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 250 lb-ft of torque, standard
on 300 Touring and 300 Limited. (EPA estimated mpg: 18 city/ 28
highway)
2.7-liter double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 24-valve multipoint
fuel injection (MPI) V6 engine with 190 horsepower at 6,400 rpm
and 190 lb-ft of torque, standard on the 300. (EPA estimated mpg:
21 city/ 28 highway)
AWD/RWD
It's something you haven't seen on a Chrysler performance sedan
in over fifteen years, but this rear-wheel-drive system provides
a whole new driving experience. Design and engineering advancements
combined with new, world-class technologies offer all the advantages
of rear-wheel drive and the confidence of maximum driver control.
A near-50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, 120-inch wheelbase
and wider track provide greater stability and a more balanced ride
Weight transfer to the rear wheels on acceleration provide better
balance and traction
New short- and long-arm (SLA) front suspension and five-link rear
suspension helps keep tire tread in full contact with the road
for maximum traction
Available features like the Electronic Stability Program** (ESP),
antilock brake system (ABS) with brake assist, and all-speed traction
control combine to provide greater command of every situation
The all-wheel drive (AWD) system available on 300C, Limited, and
Touring provides better acceleration, especially when traction
is limited. It supplies power to both axles at all times—62
percent of the engine torque to the rear wheels and 38 percent
to the front—giving the rear-wheel-drive feel essential for
performance sedans. A planetary center differential allows the
axles to rotate at different speeds, necessary for cornering.
HANDLING
For the first time in fifteen years you can feel the power and
performance of rear-wheel-drive in a Chrysler vehicle. We then
applied leading-edge technology to corral the raw power and turn
it into a refined ride.
Available four-wheel antilock brakes help prevent wheel lockup
on slippery surfaces, so you can steer while braking to help avoid
a collision.
Available all-speed traction control senses drive-wheel slip and
individually brakes the slipping wheel and/or reduces excess engine
power until control is regained.
An available advanced Electronic Stability Program** (ESP) helps
drivers maintain control of their vehicles during extreme steering
maneuvers and inclement weather. ESP senses when a vehicle is starting
to spin (oversteer) or plow (understeer), and attempts to correct
the vehicle's course by automatically controlling the throttle
and applying the brakes to individual wheels
TRANSMISSION
The electronically controlled five-speed AutoStick® transmission—standard
on all 300C, 300 Touring AWD, and 300 Limited AWD models—allows
for clutchless manual or automatic gear selection. It's the first
use of five-speed automatic transmission on a Chrysler vehicle,
providing improved performance and fuel economy.
A four-speed automatic transmission is standard on the 300 Touring
RWD/AWD, 300 Limited RWD/AWD models, and 300C RWD/AWD. A four-speed
automatic transmission is standard on 300 RWD.
SUSPENSION
The 300's suspension has been designed to balance maximum control
with a comfortable ride. A short- and long-arm (SLA) front suspension
and five-link independent rear suspension system maintain independent
control of each wheel during suspension movement for excellent
handling. An advanced suspension mounting system also dramatically
reduces road noise. This means you get a smooth ride that is also
quiet.
