Have you wondered about the design process behind a vehicle refresh, such as this 2015 Chrysler 300? This is the opportunity to learn the details of the design changes from the man responsible for all of Chrysler design, Brandon Faurote.
The update Chrysler 300 gets a new front and rear facias, a larger grille up front, and new LED lights in the back. It now comes in four trim levels: 300 Limited, 300S, 300C, and 300C Platinum. The 3.6L V6 comes in two power levels: 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and 300 horsepower and 264 lb-ft for the 300S model. The V6 can be had with rear or all-wheel-drive. The 8-speed automatic continues duty to allow for a good mix of efficiency and power delivery.
The 5.7L HEMI V8 returns with 363 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque, but it ditches the old 5-speed automatic in favor of the new 8-speed. It’s now rated at 16 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. The HEMI comes in 300S, 300C, and 300C Platinum models and only in rear-wheel-drive. The SRT version is no more.
The 2015 Chrysler 300 V6 starts at $31,395.
