2019 Chrysler 300The Chrysler 300 is the brand’s flagship, a full-size sedan that embodies what makes Chrysler an upscale marque. The 300 offers better features and a better interior than what you normally get from affordable brands, plus it has the roomy trunk and passenger space you expect from a large car. However, they still keep the price lower than what you see in the luxury market. Thanks to this combination, the 2019 Chrysler 300 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a full-size car.

The Engine Selection

The 2019 Chrysler 300 has power to spare, no matter which trim you choose. On low trim levels you get a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that can give you 292 horsepower. That’s more than enough to roar down any highway, and the sporty 300S bumps that number up to an even 300 horsepower. The top trims get eight potent cylinders in a 5.7-liter engine, and with this under the hood, the 300 gets up to 363 horsepower. V-8 is also an efficient engine: when cruising on the highway it can deactivate half the cylinders to improve your gas mileage.
