Iconic Design and Premium Features
The Chrysler 300 has always been recognized for its distinctive and sophisticated design, and the 2023 model year is no exception. It embodies a sense of classic American luxury with modern touches.

Smartphone integration is seamless with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, ensuring drivers stay connected on the go.
Power and smooth operation are hallmarks of the 300, and the standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission across all models contributes to both. For enhanced all-weather capability, the 2023 Chrysler 300 Touring and Touring L models offer an exclusive all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with front-axle disconnect. This advanced system intelligently engages and disengages AWD based on driving conditions, optimizing traction and fuel efficiency without driver intervention. Whether facing challenging weather or simply desiring added confidence, this AWD system sets the Chrysler 300 apart in its class.
Power That Resonates: HEMI V-8 Engine
For driving enthusiasts who crave power, the 2023 Chrysler 300S delivers with an available 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine. This engine is unique in the large sedan segment, producing a commanding 363 horsepower and 394 lb.-ft. of torque. The HEMI V-8 transforms the 300S into a performance sedan that not only looks the part but also delivers exhilarating acceleration and a signature V-8 rumble. It’s a testament to Chrysler’s commitment to offering both luxury and raw power in one impressive vehicle.
What’s New for 2023? Enhanced Safety and Anticipated Special Edition
Chrysler is continually enhancing the 300’s offerings, and for 2023, a significant upgrade is the expanded availability of the SafetyTec Plus Group.
