Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Chrysler 300 should see no major changes. This large car shares its basic design with Dodge's Charger sedan. Available trim levels should continue to include Touring, Touring Signature, Limited, 300C, and 300C SRT8. All should continue to have standard rear-wheel drive. Touring Signature, Limited, and 300C will likely remain available with all-wheel drive. Touring versions should have a 178-hp 2.7-liter V6 engine. Touring Signature and Limited will likely still use a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6. The 300C should continue to have a 5.7-liter version of Chrysler's "Hemi" V8 with 359 hp. Exclusive to the 5.7 V8 is Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. The SRT8 will likely continue to use a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 with 425 hp. The 300 Touring and rear-drive Touring Signature and Limited should still have a 4-speed automatic transmission. All others should use a 5-speed automatic. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Likely not returning to the 300 lineup is the Executive Series package that increases the vehicle's overall length by 6 inches. This report is based on evaluations of the 2009 Chrysler 300.
